Working dimension Y

Describes the usable working range of a CNC-machining centre in width or, as seen by the operator, in depths in mm.

Usually, the width or depth of the working table or the moving range of the working spindle from the workpiece's reference point is used.

Since each aggregate of a machining center has got its own different working range in Y, some manufacturers name the working range which is covered by all aggregates. Therefore, this value can vary significantly from other given values.
