TOSOKU HM115 4-Axis Manual Pulser Generator: Complete Guide for CNC Machine Control
On this page
What this delivery is: a TOSOKU HM115 four-axis manual pulse generator — the CNC handwheel Toshiba-market operators know as the handy controller — brand new in its box with a one-year warranty per the record, 1 kg, received stock uploaded 2025-11-19. The back plate names it plainly: HANDY CONTROLLER / TYPE HM115. This is the genuine TOSOKU layout, not a clone of it: red RESET mushroom on its yellow plate, axis selector, multiply selector, the 100-detent handwheel with the Tosoku wordmark, and the side enable slide, all on the black rubberised body with the carry handle.
Reading the controller
The face runs top to bottom: the RESET mushroom (emergency reset for the host control, arrows printed around the cap), then the brushed-aluminium panel with the two selectors — axis choose across OFF / X / Y / Z / 4 and magnification across ×1 / ×10 / ×100 — with a small centre window between them, and the handwheel below, detented at 100 clicks per revolution with the Tosoku logo on the cap. A slide switch on the left flank is the enable: the wheel outputs nothing until it is held or latched, which is the safety interlock that keeps a parked handwheel from jogging an axis. The coiled cable tails into a stripped, labelled harness — each lead tagged L+ / L− (the pulse pair), SW (enable switch), X1 / X10 / X100 (multiplication), X / Y / Z / 4 (axis select), COM2 and the remaining commons — so the controller wires straight to a CNC I/O board without reverse-engineering the colour code. The body is the standard hanging style: carry handle on top, rubber feet for bench use, the whole unit about 1 kg.

Wiring notes
The labelled tails make this a board-level integration: pulse pair to the MPG inputs (L+ source, L− return), the multiplication and axis lines to the multiplexed inputs of the control (they read as a binary/gray combination on boards expecting one), SW to the enable input, commons to COM. If the host expects a 5 V pull-up, check the L+ polarity before first spin — handwheels are the one CNC input where a reversed pulse pair does not fault, it just runs the axis the wrong way. The 100-detent wheel gives one pulse per detent at ×1, so a full turn is one millimetre on a metric machine — the ×10 and ×100 positions are for rapid positioning, and the RESET mushroom lifts any alarm the control raised while the wheel was moving. For a compatible generic and spare leads, the storefront carries the HC115 four-axis MPG and the Tosoku AF-25W spiral cable.
