French term

sortant

French to English Tech/Engineering Automation & Robotics CAD
This is from a specification relating to the digitizing of "Robcad" library components (application = car body welding robots).

In a section entitled "Codification et orientation des repères" (see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1908124 for Q. on "repère"), it states that:
"- Les repères sont toujours avec un Z sortant pour les fixations,
- Pour le pt_soud, c’est à dire le repère de travail d’une pince, le X est sortant de la fenêtre de travail et le Z du bras fixe vers le bras mobile,
- Pour le centre de gravité d’une pince, un repère est créé et nommé CDG, son orientation est la même que celle du repère de 0 pince,
- Pour les plans de fixation, un repère est créé à chaque centre d’un trou afin d’améliorer le positionnement,
- Le Z est sortant de la pièce normale au plan X et Y sont positionnés le plus normalement possible."

Thanks for any help regarding the translation of "sortant" in this context.

In reading the text, and not knowing much of the terminology, my guess is "extends from"....

THIS IS A 3-AXIS SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM ON A NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED DEVICE. I HAVE DONE LOT OF TRANSLATION FOR SUCH A SYSTEM.

NOTE: THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A "SUPPORT TICKET" BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW TO COMPLETE ONE
Example sentence:

THE Z (AXIS) EXTENDS FROM THE PART, NORMAL TO THE X-Y PLANE
