Years ago I worked for a packaging machine mfgr. We used Warner
clutch/brake assys to control film feed. Would it be possible to mount the
brake unit to the frame, have the screw extension locked to the clutch and
the handwheel locked to the brake? A switch to select CNC or manual
mode? This way the handwheel would be lock to the frame in CNC mode with
the screw free to turn; and the handwheel locked to the screw in manual
mode. Safety and convenience.
