End-effector Offsets
The two end-effector offsets available for the three-dimensional Delta robot
geometry are as follows. Offset values are always positive numbers.
• X1e is the distance from the center of the moving plate to the lower
spherical joints of the parallel arms.
• X3e is the distance from the base plate to the TCP of the gripper.
