100S uses positive and negative numbers to determine the position of
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.
