Linear Y Motion
The following figure shows the Y-Axis coordinate system mapping for TMX MY and TMX
MYS machines. When Linear Y Motion is selected on the Geometry tab, linear Y-axis
motion occurs.
Figure 2–59. Main and Sub-spindle Radial surface of the part with Linear Y
With Linear Y selected, TMX MY and TMX MYS machines can perform Linear Milling to
create flat bottoms and right-angle walls for milled features and to machine holes parallel
to the Y axis.
