Machine kinematics 
The workpiece is always programmed in a two or threedimensional, rightangled coordinate 
system (WCS). However, such workpieces are being programmed ever more frequently on 
machine tools with rotary axes or linear axes not perpendicular to one another. Kinematic 
transformation is used to represent coordinates programmed in the workpiece coordinate 
system (rectangular) in real machine movements.
