Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual page 167

Primarily, the calculated rotary axis vectors enable an assessment to be made regarding the
mechanical desired/actual state of the kinematics. Depending on the kinematics
configuration, even the smallest and corrected deviations in the position of the rotary axis
vectors can result in large compensating movements.
Procedure
