2.2 Coordinate system
Since one of the CNC's purposes is to control the movement and positioning of the axes,
a coordinate system is required that permits defining the position of the various target
(destination) points in the plane (2D) or in space (3D).
The main coordinate system is formed by the X-Y-Z axes. These axes are perpendicular to
each other and they meet at the origin point used as reference for the various points.
Other types of axes such as auxiliary and rotary axes may also be part of the coordinate
system.
The position of a point "P" in the plane or in space is defined by its coordinates on the various
axes.
P (X,Y,Z)
(1,2,5)
(3,4,0)
(5,7,-2)
