Brand new machine, Brand new user, Reversed Z Axis, X and Y axis switched.

Thank you all in advance for help,

We just purchased our first CMM system, and went to the class. After we finnally got some set up and programming bugs worked out with tech support, we realized that our axes were all going different directions than the on class machines and the workbook diagrams were going.

Z+ is down, Z- is up
X+ is out X- is in
Y- is right Y+ is left

I've done my best to look in the HELP section, but haven't seen any related topics.

  • Everyone is calling it a CMM...Yes it is a Portable arm.
    I was having the reversed axis issue, and had the other person I went to class with verify the issue. I went to lunch and came back and it was fixed, and no one touched a thing!!! I guess its a non-issue now. Sorry to waste everyones time. This is our first machine and (probably like everyone else) we are a bit overwhelmed with it. Somehow the problem got solved.....
    Thanks people!
