Rotary motion around the coordinate axes X, Y and Z are designated A, B and C. The direction
of rotation is obtained from the direction of the rotary motion when looking in the positive
direction of the coordinate axis:
Direction of the rotary motion Direction of rotation
clockwise positive
counter-clockwise negative
X, Y, Z Vertical coordinate axes arranged on top of one another
A, B, C Rotary axes, rotating around X, Y, Z
