Product Description:

The BTC06.2A-F-EP3-FW is a handheld manual control unit manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the BTC06 Manual Control Units series. It functions as a portable operator interface that lets users jog axes, adjust feed rate overrides, and trigger machine states directly at the work zone. This arrangement supports local machine control when direct visibility of the axis or tool is needed. Users can remain near the machine while observing motion response and setup changes on the spot.

The controller’s polycarbonate enclosure measures 315 × 180 × 57 mm, or 363 mm in length when the removable handle is fitted, and it provides space for a polyester foil keyboard with 48 tactile keys. A monochrome LCD of 240 × 128 pixels with LED backlight displays axis data and diagnostic graphics while keeping power demand low. Serial links are available through RS-232C and RS-422A/RS-485 ports, allowing connection to nearby computers or long-distance CNC channels. Internal electronics operate from a regulated 24 V DC (20–30 V) source. An IP65 enclosure rating helps block dust and permits cleaning with low-pressure water jets. The display and keypad are integrated into one portable housing for direct interaction with machine functions.

The front panel carries a three-stage dual-circuit activation button that enables, permits, or inhibits motion depending on travel, maintaining redundancy if one channel fails. A prominent emergency stop mushroom is wired to the machine safety relay and removes drive power within milliseconds. Components rated for 0 to +55 °C allow continuous use on most factory floors without extra cooling, and the unit weighs only 1.3 kg, which helps reduce fatigue during extended use. The product is part of Line 06 with design code 2. It is supplied without a handwheel, so incremental key inputs are used for position jogging. Key-based jogging keeps movement commands on the front panel and avoids the need for a separate handwheel assembly.
