14. Coordinates System Setting Functions

14.2 Basic machine, work 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 work coordinate systems are used for programming and in these systems the reference point
on the workpiece is set as the coordinate zero point.
the local coordinate systems are created on the work coordinate systems and they are designed to
facilitate the programs for parts machining.
