Using the transformation functions, a user can program offsets based on their desired rotation point and associate different axes of motion with specific rotations within the motion system. When an angular motion is then commanded, the linear stages will move to compensate and keep the rotation point in the same position in XYZ space.<\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotech.com\/product\/software\/automation1-software-based-machine-controller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View Automation1 Software-Based Machine Controller<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[941,954,934,949,950,945,938,951,939,952,942,944,940,1015],"tags":[],"content_type":[1012],"industry":[973,975,978,979,980,982],"topic":[993,984,985,987,990,991],"class_list":["post-5609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aerospace-defense","category-custom-engineered-motion-systems","category-electronics","category-gimbals-optical-mounts","category-hexapods","category-motion-control-platforms","category-optics-photonics","category-piezoelectric-nanopositioners","category-precision-manufacturing","category-process-specific-products","category-science-research","category-stages-actuators","category-test-inspection","category-video","content_type-video","industry-aerospace-defense","industry-electronics","industry-optics-photonics","industry-precision-manufacturing","industry-science-research-institutions","industry-test-inspection","topic-custom-engineered-motion","topic-gimbals-optical-mounts","topic-hexapods","topic-motion-control-platforms","topic-process-specific-products","topic-stages-actuators"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Virtual Pivot Point Kinematics &#8211;
