Typically the machine origin is located in the rotary axis A. As required, it can be shifted using parameters HD7 to HD9. Differing zero positions of the rotary axes A and C can be set by the parameters HD10 and HD11 so that the internal kinematic model matches the real machine kinematics. In the same way differing rotation directions of the A and C axes can be set by the parameters HD12, HD13. In general, the signs of command and actual parameters must also be modified accordingly in the axis parameters.

The origin of the WCS on the turning table can be shifted by the parameters HD14 to HD16.
