MCS position

  • The x axis is congruent with the A1 axis
  • The y axis is congruent with the A2 axis.
  • The z axis is congruent with the A3 axis.

TCS position

  • xTCS and xMCS are parallel.
  • yTCS is aligned opposite to yMCS.
  • z TCS is aligned opposite to zMCS.
  • In zero position, the coordinate origins MCS and TCS are congruent.

Zero position of the drives

The zero setting of the drives defines the origin of the MCS.

Singularities

The Portal_3dof axes group has no singularity.
