2.2 Coordinate system
Since one of the CNC's purposes is to control the movement and
positioning of the axes, a coordinate system is required that permits
defining the position of the various target (destination) points in the
plane (2D) or in space (3D).
The main coordinate system is formed by the X-Y-Z axes. These axes
are perpendicular to each other and they meet at the origin point used
as reference for the various points.
Other types of axes such as auxiliary and rotary axes may also be part
of the coordinate system.
The position of a point "P" in the plane or in space is defined by its
coordinates on the various axes.
