Programming Coordinates and Linear Y Motion
Radial milling is used with TMM, TMX MY, and TMX MYS machines. The programming
coordinates are mapped to behave like milling machines. In order to perform machining
processes for TMM, TMX MY, and TMX MYS machines, WinMax aligns the programming
coordinate system. Machine coordinates do not change.
No Linear Y Motion
The following figure shows the part coordinate system for TMM, TMX MY, and TMX MYS
machines, for wrapping the Y-Axis coordinate system around the circumference of the
part.
When Linear Y Motion is not selected on the Geometry tab, the Y-axis is wrapped around
the circumference of the part. The X machine coordinate becomes Part Z-axis, and the Z
machine coordinate becomes the Part X-axis. The machine C-Axis rotates for Y motion.

The bottom surface of the feature being machined is concentric to the circumference of
the part:
