2.3 Reference systems
A machine may use the following reference systems.
• Machine reference system.
It is the coordinate system of the machine and it is set by the
manufacturer of the machine.
• Fixture reference system.
It establishes a coordinate system associated with the fixtures
being used. It is activated by program and may be set by the
operator in any position of the machine.
When the machine has several fixtures, each one may have its own
reference system associated with it.
• Part reference system (datum point).
It establishes a coordinate system associated with the part being
machined. It is activated by program and may be set by the
operator anywhere on the part.
