    centre of rotation of B axis and C axis

    I got this horizontal 5 axis with B and C axis, C axis is seating perpendicular on B axis [horizontal table] , the centre of rotation of C axis is off [2 millimetres] in relation to the B axis [horizontal table], two millimetres is nothing but for some works that we do, it is a big deal...

    where is the proper place on matercam to input the difference?

    WCS origin?
    Machine definition file?

    thank you guys and happy christmas

    that should be changed in the machine definition, when the machine configuration manager pops up goto the machine configuration window, right click on a or b axis and select properties you should see the fields for axis center of rotation
