本国际标准描述了与个人主要运动相关的机器坐标系 数控机床及其相关运动。 机床坐标系用于提供移动刀具（或工作空间中的一个点）的坐标 或在图纸上）关于固定工件。因此，程序员可以描述机器的操作 无需知道刀具是否接近工件或工件是否接近刀具。 注1:单个数控机床意味着所有轴安装在一个底座或框架上，所有运动 与一个标准坐标系相关。 注2:为简单起见，本国际标准的大部分文本均按照 机床，但总体上与数控机床一致。坐标系与轴运动 工业机器人的术语定义见ISO 9787《操作工业机器人-坐标系和运动》 命名法。

This International Standard describes a machine coordinate system related to the primary motions of individual numerically controlled machines and the associated machine motions. The machine coordinate system is used to provide the coordinates of a moving tool (or a point in the working space or on the drawing) with respect to a stationary workpiece. Thus a programmer can describe the machine operations without having to know whether the tool approaches the workpiece or the workpiece approaches the tool. NOTE 1 Individual numerically controlled machines means that all axes are mounted on one base or frame and all motions are related to one standard coordinate system. NOTE 2 For the sake of simplicity the majority of the text of this International Standard is written in terms accorded to machine tools but nevertheless accorded to numerically controlled machines in general. Coordinate systems and axis motion nomenclature for industrial robots is defined in ISO 9787, Manipulating industrial robots — Coordinate systems and motion nomenclatures.
