KIN_TYP_60 – Cardanic kinematics with C/B head
The kinematic structure consists of 3 translatory and 3 rotary NC axes in the tool. The B axis is arranged about the X axis rotated by an angle!= 90 degrees; the angle is typically between 30 and 60 degrees.

In general the reference point referred to as BRP (rotation point of B axis) wanders to reference point SP, i.e. the vector V3 is 0 and the point SP is located in the tool axis which has the same rotary axis as the C axis. In this case only the parameters L, HD1, HD7 and HD10 are required.
The kinematics can transform a B spatial angle of maximum 2*HD7.
(*) The rotary offsets HS14 and HD 15 only act on the internal kinematic model, i.e. these offsets do not lead to a re-positioning of the cardanic head as for a rotary zero offset and programming of an angle position.
