Axis Control

The Axis Control allows you to control the one or more axes of a machine.

It appears as a button that opens an overlay containing large buttons for each axis. This allows operators to confidently control the machine's axes on touch devices since the buttons provide a large hit area. The element supports two interaction modes: Continuous and Step.

It can contain one or multiple Single Axis or Dual Axis elements.
