Workpiece coordinate system (WCS)
To describe the geometry of a workpiece in the workpiece program, a right-handed, right-
angled coordinate system is also used.
The workpiece zero can be freely selected by the programmer in the Y axis. In the Z axis, it
lies in the turning center.

Figure 1-5 Workpiece Coordinate System
Relative coordinate system (REL)
In addition to the machine and workpiece coordinate systems, the control system provides a
relative coordinate system. This coordinate system is used for setting reference points that
can be freely selected and have no influence on the active workpiece coordinate system. All
axis movements are displayed relative to these reference points.
Note
The actual value in the associated coordinate system can be activated and displayed in the
"Position" operating area using the "MKS/WKS REL" vertical softkey.
