3D-Cable Kinematics Type 2 (P_3L)
The 3D-Cable Kinematics (P_3L) is structured as shown in the above schematic.
The zero point of the machine coordinate system (MCS) can be anywhere in space. The hooks of the cable/rope are defined starting from the MCS origin.
All motor axes are scaled in millimeters, the arrow indicating the positive direction.
