7.7 Cartesian manual travel (optional)
Translation in the BCS
The basic coordinate system (BCS) describes the Cartesian zero of the machine.
Figure 7-16
Translation in the WCS
The workpiece coordinate system (WCS) lies in the workpiece zero. The workpiece coordinate
system can be shifted and rotated relative to the reference system via frames. As long as the
frame rotation is active, the traversing movements correspond to the translation of the
movements in the basic coordinate system.
