XC3000Series Motion Control System of Laser Cutting - User Manual
The coordinate system is the right-handed Cartesian coordinate system. As shown in the figure, the thumb is pointing in
the positive direction of the X axis, the forefinger is pointing in the positive direction of the Y axis, and the middle finger is
pointing in the positive direction of the Z axis. With the X, Y, and Z coordinates determined, it is easy to determine the
direction of the A, B, and C rotational coordinates according to the right-hand spiral rule.
4.1.1 Machine Coordinate System
The machine coordinate system is only determined by the machine structure and its parameters. It can be established by
clicking on Return Origin button, or by clicking on Return Origin button in the CNC sub-page to re-establish the machine
coordinate system while initial installation or when there is any derivation for abnormal reasons.
4.1.2 Program Coordinate System
As the position of the workpiece may vary, it is necessary to introduce a workpiece coordinate system for ease of use. All
the program coordinate systems in the software are identical in direction to the machine coordinate system. Only the
zero point of the coordinate system is different, known as the program zero. The program coordinate system contains a
floating coordinate and workpiece coordinates.
The button at the top of the control panel is used to select the floating coordinate system and other nine workpiece
coordinate systems.
