Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new edit ions as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australi an Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australi a
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australi an
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications, new editi ons
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australia,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.
AS 1115—1985
Australian Standard

PREFACE
This standard was prepared by the Association’s Committee on Information
Processing Systems, to supersede AS 1115 — 1971 Axis and Motion
Conventions for Numerically Controlled Machines. It is identical with and has
been reproduced from International Standard ISO 841 — 1974, drawn up by
ISO/TC 97, Information Processing Systems.
For the purpose of this Australian Standard, the text of the ISO standard given
herein should be modified as follows:
(a) Terminology: The words ‘Australian standard’ should replace the words
‘International Standard’ wherever they appear.
(b) Clause 1.3. The words ‘AS 1189, Data Processing — Vocabulary,
Part 24 — Numerical Control of Machines’ should replace the words ‘the
ISO data processing vocabulary1)’ and the associated footnote ‘1) In
preparation.’
