Abstract
To identify and control the relative movements of tools and workpiece when programming CNC machines, it is necessary to define the possible planes of movement. Each of these planes is defined by using any two of the three axes, X, Y and Z (Figure 1.1). They are generally recognised as:
-
the X, Y horizontal plane
-
the X, Z vertical plane
-
the Y, Z vertical plane.
