Tosoku HC115 handwheel encoder
Reliable manual axis control for CNC machines
The Tosoku HC115 is a high-quality hand-held control wheel for the precise control of machine axes. It is primarily used for setup, positioning, and testing procedures, enabling very fine and controlled movements – ideal for milling, turning, and machining centers.
The model operates at 5V and is compatible with common CNC controllers, including Fanuc. Its robust design ensures reliable signal transmission, even in daily industrial use. Thanks to the precise detents, every axis movement can be executed noticeably and with control – a significant advantage when setting up tools or approaching defined reference points.
Characteristics:
- Precision handwheel for CNC and machine tools
- Suitable for Fanuc controllers (5V operation)
- Clean signal transmission for X, Y and Z axes
- Robust design for continuous industrial use
- Easy installation – ideal as a replacement part or retrofit
Typical areas of application:
- Setup and measurement of workpieces
- Axis positioning and reference runs
- Service, maintenance or modification of existing systems
- Spare part for machines with Fanuc control

FAQ
Handwheels for machine tools
What are handwheels used for on machine tools?
Handwheels are used for the manual control of machine axes, especially during setup, positioning, and maintenance work. They enable precise and controlled axis movement.
When should a handwheel be replaced?
Replacement is advisable if the handwheel provides inaccurate signals, jerks, has play, is damaged, or executes axis movements with a delay. It should also be replaced if it fails during setup or axis referencing.
Can I install any handwheel in any CNC machine?
No. It must be compatible with the controller (e.g., Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain) and the connection (pin assignment, voltage, signal type). Mechanical dimensions such as diameter and mounting must also be correct.
Which machine manufacturers use such handwheels?
Handwheels are used in machines from Fanuc, DMG Mori, Mazak, Haas, Hurco, Okuma, Siemens, Heidenhain and many other machine tools.
Are there differences between mechanical and electronic handwheels?
Yes. Mechanical handwheels are used to directly move an axis, while electronic handwheel encoders (MPG) send signals to the controller, which then moves the axes.
What is a handwheel encoder (MPG)?
An MPG (Manual Pulse Generator) is an electronic handwheel that sends pulses to the CNC controller. This allows the axis to be moved precisely and in a controlled manner in small increments.
How do I identify the correct replacement type?
Important information includes the model number, control type, connections, pulse resolution (e.g., 25 or 100 PPR), and form factor. Nameplates or old part numbers can help with matching.
