CNC Tutorials and Exercises Tutorial 1 - X and Y Co-Ordinate Calculation - Absolute and Incremental Co-Ordinates

This document discusses absolute and incremental coordinate systems for CNC programming. Absolute coordinates define positions relative to a fixed workpiece datum using code G90, while incremental coordinates define positions relative to the previous point using code G91. Examples of coordinate positions are shown for both systems, with Z being positive when moving away from the work surface.

CNC Tutorials and Exercises Tutorial 1 - X and Y Co-ordinate Calculation - Absolute and Incremental Co-ordinates This tutorial gives

examples of absolute co-ordinates and incremental coordinates. Absolute Co-ordinates The code G90 is used to select this type of programming. Before programming commences the points on the path to be machined are defined relative to the workpiece datum:

Examples of these co-ordinates are shown in the table below. The Z axis is the vertical axis and the datum used is normally the surface of the work. Z is positive when moving away from the surface and negative when moving towards or into the surface.

Incremental Co-ordinates The code G91 is used to select this type of programming. The points on the path to be machined are defined relative to the previous position. The points for the example on the previous page are shown in the table below. The Z axis is again the vertical axis, and the points are defined relative to the previous position; positive when moving away from the surface and negative when moving towards or into the surface.
