1.9 NAMES OF AXES
1.9.1 Names of Axes
Axis names can be assigned to axes controlled by the CNC (including
PMC controlled axes). An axis name can be freely selected from 'A',
'B', 'C', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', and 'Z'.
NOTE
1 The same name must not be set for multiple axes.
(However, an axis name used in a path may be
used in another path.)
2 When G code system A is used with a lathe
system, U, V, and W must not be used as axis
names. Only when G code system B or C is used,
U, V, and W can be used as axis names.
