2.5 Axis Orientation
Motion direction along axes are referenced throughout this manual. These references are used in all
facets of programming, installation, operation, and maintenance procedures. Each cutting machine axis
is defined as if the operator is positioned facing the machine front.
• Left to right torch is motion in the X plus (+X) direction.
• Right to left motion is X minus (-X) direction.
• Motion away from the operator, front-to-back, is Y plus (+Y) direction.
• Motion towards the operator, back-to-front, is Y Minus (-Y) direction.
Please Note: This axis orientation is rotated 90 degrees clockwise from ESAB’s standard axes
orientation.
