Translation
Translations are described in the spatially-fixed coordinate system. The translational
axes X, Y, and Z meet at the origin of the coordinate system (0,0,0). For further
information, see the glossary (p. 73).
Rotation
Rotations take place around the rotational axes U, V and W. The rotational axes meet
at the center of rotation (also referred to as "pivot point"). The rotational axes and
therefore also the center of rotation always move together with the platform of the
hexapod (see also the example below for consecutive rotations).
A given rotation in space is calculated from the individual rotations in the order
U -> V- > W.
For further information on the center of rotation, see the glossary (p. 73).
INFORMATION
The dimensional drawing (p. 64) contains the following:
Orientation of the default coordinate system
Position of the default center of rotation
Example: Consecutive rotations
INFORMATION
For a clearer view, the figures have been adapted as follows:
Round platform replaced by T-shaped platform
Coordinate system shown shifted
Center of rotation in the top left corner of the platform
