(2) Examples of setting parameters
There are many parameters related to this function.
Therefore, it is recommended that parameters for a target machine be
set based on some examples. These examples are given below.
<1> Example of setting parameters for a mixed-type machine
In the machine explained in this example, the first axis is X, the
second axis is Y, the third axis is Z, the fourth axis is A, the fifth axis
is B, and the sixth axis is C.
Shown below is an example of setting parameters for a mixed-type
machine.
Rotation axis A is a table rotation axis on the X-axis.
Rotation axis B is a tool rotation axis on the Y-axis.

Fig. 9.3 (h) Mixed-type machine example
In the above mixed-type machine, if rotation axis B is at 0 degrees,
assume the following:
Tool holder offset value = 2.0
Rotary table position = (5.0 , 2.0 , -15.0)
Intersection offset vector between the tool axis and tool rotation axis =
(3.0 , 0 , 2.0)
Then, the parameters for the above mixed-type machine are set as
follows:
