Angle Reference Axis
For angular positions, the following reference axes are defined:
Plane
Angle reference axis
XY
+X
YZ
+Y
ZX
+Z
Positive direction of rotation is counterclockwise if the working plane
is viewed in negative tool axis direction. See Fig. I.11.
Example: Angle in the working plane X / Y
Angle
Corresponds to the...
+ 45°
... bisecting line between +X and +Y
+/– 180°
... negative X axis
- 270°
... positive Y axis
18
