The coordinate system

The position of a tool is defined uniquely by its coordinates in the coordinate system. These
coordinates are defined through axis positions. If, for instance, the three involved Axes are
denoted by X, Y and Z, the coordinates are specified as follows:
X... Y... Z...
Figure 3-1
The following coordinate systems are used to specify the coordinates:
1. Machine coordinate systems (G53)
2. Workpiece coordinate system (G92)
3. Local coordinate system (G52)
