Forked swivel head In this example, the mechanical offset of a forked swivel head is determined
with a dial indicator and a cylinder with a known diameter.
Temporary input values for the machine parameters:
n MP7500 = %xxxx101
n MP7510.0 = %000100 ; Shift in Z axis
n MP7510.1 = %000010 ; Shift in Y axis
n MP7510.2 = %001000 ; Free tilting axis A
n MP7510.3 = %000001 ; Shift in X axis
n MP7510.4 = %000010 ; Shift in Y axis
n MP7510.5 = %100000 ; Free tilting axis C
n MP7510.6 = %000000 ; End transformation
