<2> Example of setting parameters for a tool rotation type machine
Shown below is an example of setting parameters for a tool rotation
type machine.
Rotation axis C is a tool rotation axis (master) on the Z-axis.
Rotation axis B is a tool rotation axis (slave) on the Y-axis.

Fig. 9.3 (i) Tool rotation type machine example
In the above tool rotation type machine, if rotation axes B and C are at
0 degrees, assume the following:
Tool holder offset value = 2.0
Intersection offset vector between the tool axis and the second rotation
axis of the tool = (5.0,0,3.0)
Intersection offset vector between the second and first rotation axes of
the tool = (3.0,3.0,8.0)
Then, the parameters for the above tool rotation type machine are set
as follows:
