Conventions

This section identifies the standard conventions that apply to your
system.

Count Direction

uses positive and negative numbers to determine the position of
100S
the table and tool on each axis. The graphic below shows a typical
setup for the positive and negative count directions for the X-, Y-, and
Z-axes on a vertical knee mill. All of the examples in this manual are
based upon this setup.
X-axis:
The table will move to the left and the
tool will move to the right for a posi-
tive count direction.
Y-axis:
The table will move toward you while
the tool moves away from you for a
positive count direction.
Z-axis:
The quill will move up (away from the
table surface) for a positive count
direction.
