14.7.1.4 Rotary axis and parallel rotary axis
In the "Rotation axis" window, you define a rotary axis, whose traversing motion describes a
circle or arc. This means that you change the orientation of the subsequent elements.
Display in the tree topology
Dynamic rotation axes are identified by this symbol in the tree topology.
Element values
Parameter Meaning
Name Designation, which is displayed in the tree structure.
Rotary axis (X) X component of the vector, around which the system rotates.
Rotary axis (Y) Y component of the vector, around which the system rotates.
Rotary axis (Z) Z component of the vector, around which the system rotates.
Axis name Specification of the axis identifier (see MD 10000)
Axis offset Additive offset between the actual position of the axis, and the value
used by the collision monitoring.

14.7.1.5 Offset and parallel offset
In the "Offset" window you define fixed linear offsets of the subsequent elements, which are
linked with this element.
Display in the tree topology
Static offset vectors are designated by this symbol in the tree topology.

Parameter Meaning
Name Designation, which is displayed in the tree structure.
Offset (X) X component of the direction vector.
Offset (Y) Y component of the direction vector.
Offset (Z) Z component of the direction vector.
