14.2 Basic Machine, Workpiece and Local Coordinate Systems

Function and purpose
The basic machine coordinate system is fixed in the machine and it denotes that position which is
determined inherently by the machine.
The workpiece coordinate systems are used for programming and in these systems the reference
position on the workpiece is set as the coordinate zero point.
The local coordinate systems are created on the workpiece coordinate systems and they are
designed to facilitate the programs for parts machining.
