Direction of spindle rotation

Direction of X axis

Direction of Y axis

Direction of Z axis

The coordinate system is a two dimensional number line

It is only the direction of spindle rotation

The cutting tool has to move in longitudinal direction

The work table has to move radial for 180 degrees

Involves more manual work

More production rate

Less manual work

Computer takes care

These both are programmable data

These both are two types of control systems in CNC machines

Data collecting systems

Data storage system

2 Axis only

3 Axis only

Multi axis only

2 axis, 3 axis and Multi axis
