MACHINE OVERVIEW
2.1 Axis nomenclature
With this CNC, the manufacturer may select up to 28 axes (that must be properly defined
as linear, rotary, etc. by setting machine parameters), without no limitation as how to program
them and they may all be interpolated at the same time.
The DIN 66217 standard denomination for the axes is:
However, the machine manufacturer may call the axes differently.
As an option, the name of the axes may be followed by a number between 1 and 9 (X1, X3,
Y5, A8...).
X-Y-Z Main axes of the machine. The X-Y axes form the main work plane whereas the
Z axis is parallel to the main axis of the machine and perpendicular to the XY
plane.
U-V-W Auxiliary axes, parallel to X-Y-Z respectively.
A-B-C Rotary axes, on X-Y-Z respectively.
