Example 2: Swivel head 2 "HEAD_2"
The vectors in the drawing refer to the initial setting of the kinematics. If the swivel head is
fixed-mounted, the vector chain is closed. The reference point of the center of rotation of rotary
axes 1 and 2 can be offset on the line of rotation and does not have to coincide with the
mechanical center of rotation.
