A co-ordinate relating to the orientation and movement of a symbol on a conveyor or transport system The x-axis is parallel to and in the same direction as the movement of the conveyor or transport system The deviation from the x-axis is referred to as pitch, or roll
(n ) The horizontal axis in the Cartesian coordinates system Although coordinate systems can be moved and their orientations altered, the x-axis is always perpendicular to the y-axis See also z-axis
In composite laminates, an axis in the plane of the laminate which is used as the 0 degree reference for designating the angle of a lamina
Usually, the axis in the plane of the laminate used as 0° reference Typically, the y-axis is the axis in the plane of the laminate perpendicular to the x-axis, and the z-axis is the reference axis normal to the laminate plane in the composite laminate (See also laminate coordinate axes, off-axis laminate and principal axis ) back to top
The axis in the plane of the laminate used as 0° reference The Y-Axis is the axis in the plane of the laminate perpendicular to the X-Axis The Z-Axis is the reference axis normal to the laminate plane in composite laminates
The first axis of registration on the PRECO punch press This is the feed direction of the material
