Move object along its own axis

[carlos1996]

 

Hi all, I can't get this simple test object to move along its axis. It always moves along the global axis, in this case the X axis.
I am attaching some images for clarity.
I would like to make the piece move along the red line and not along the yellow one.
I realized the object on blender and used the io_object_mu tool to export it.
Thanks a lot for the help.

What are you using to move the pieces? A robotics module? some modules have a set axis that they move parts on - you might consider flipping the model around so the part moves along the X axis.
