Product Description:

The BTM03.1-NA-TA-TA-TA-TA-HA-2FF-FW portable machine operator panel is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the BTM03 Machine Operator Panels series. The unit combines push-button arrays with an integrated handwheel so that an operator can execute jog, teach, and emergency functions directly at the machine without accessing the main cabinet. By serving as a decentralized human-machine interface, it supports setup, manual movement, and troubleshooting routines in automated cells. This arrangement allows direct machine interaction during adjustment tasks, especially when visual confirmation at the work area is needed.

The emergency stop circuit is furnished with 2 N/C contacts, giving a dual-channel architecture that meets safety relay requirements. Its actuator is a locking type, which remains engaged until it is released with a deliberate action, helping prevent accidental resets. The handwheel incorporates a scale from 0 to 100, allowing coarse and fine incremental feed selection from a single device. In total, the front panel provides 60 programmable membrane keys, letting the OEM assign direct machine functions without nested menus. To endure coolant splash and airborne dust, the module face carries a protection classification of IP65 when it is correctly mounted with its supplied gasket.

The key layout is organized in 4 independent key modules, and the housing accepts a total of 6 plug-in function modules so additional I/O elements can be added later. Every key cap can be labeled, which helps keep function names clear when machine software changes over time. For jog control, the handwheel knob is locking, and three dedicated selector buttons let the user toggle feed rate or axis assignment; these 3 switches sit adjacent to the dial for single-hand operation. All tactile inputs use short-stroke key technology, providing a crisp actuation point while maintaining a low insertion height that supports sealed front mounting. The compact control layout keeps commonly used commands close together, which helps reduce unnecessary hand movement during repetitive machine operation.
