The X axis is the first axis Phoenix needs to know about. In a standard orientation, the X axis would be along the gantry.
Phoenix calls the axis along the gantry the Transverse axis. The Y axis is always perpendicular to the X axis. In Phoenix, the
Rail axis is perpendicular to the Transverse. In a standard orientation the Y axis would be along the rail. When a cutting
system has a second rail motor, you select the Dual Gantry axis on the Machine Setups screen in Phoenix.
The following picture shows a cutting table where X is assigned to the gantry, also called Transverse, and Y is assigned to
the Rail.
