Siemens SINUMERIK 840DE sl Function Manual page 327

● The C axis offset is a constant element, which defines the distance between the linear axes
X, Y, Z and the first rotary axis (C axis). The C axis is a rotary axis which points in the Z
direction.
● The B axis offset is a constant element, to which the B axis connects.
● The conclusion is formed by the constant offset "Basetool".
● The kinematic chain to the workpiece reference point is formed by the constant
element "Table offset" of the type Offset.
● The following orientation axes are defined:
– C axis
– B axis
● The following linear compensating axes are defined:
– X axis
– Y axis
– Z axis
