Machine Axis Identification
Axis: a line segment used to orient a space or a geometric
object. It can be regarded as a reference line from which
distances or angles are measured in a coordinate system.
The Cartesian coordinate system is normally used to define
the movements on CNC machines.

Primary Rotary Axes: A, B and C
A, B and C are used to indicate rotary motions about
the X, Y and Z axes, respectively. The thumb rule is
used to determine the direction of rotation. Many
CNC machining centers are characterized by three
linear axes and one rotary axis
