CNC Machining Center Movements
March 22, 2022
A CNC lathe moves on two axes of travel. It uses a machine coordinate system and a part
coordinate system to identify positions on the axes. Learning about how a CNC lathe moves
and identifies positions will help you understand how the geometry of a part is defined and how
the part is machined.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
• Define movements on the Z-axis
• Define movements on the X-axis
• Describe the machine coordinate system
• Define machine home
• Describe the part coordinate system
• Define part zero
• Describe how ordered pairs are used to define the geometry of a part
