2.2 Machine Zero Point and Machine Coordinate
System
(1) Machine zero point
The machine zero point is the reference point on the machine.
(2) Machine coordinate system
The coordinate systen with the machine zero point as its reference point is called the machine
coordinate system. Each machine has its own coordinate system.

2.3 Working Coordinate System
The working coordinate system is used to specify a tool motion for each workpiece.
A coordinate system previously set in the "Data Bank" is once selected, programming afterward
can be easily done by specifying that coordinate system.
Each coordinate system is set by using an offset amount from the machine zero point to the
working zero position.
(Note) Data Bank : Refer to Instruction manual.
