Unit 3: Vertical Milling Center Machine Motion Manufacturing ...
VMC Machine Motion. CNC machines use a 3D Cartesian coordinate system. Figure 10. shows a typical Vertical Milling Center (VMC). Parts to be machined is fastened to the machine table. This table moves in the XYPlane. As the operator faces the machine, the XAxis moves the table leftright. The YAxis moves the table forwardbackward.
