Deriving Generic Transformation Matrices for Multi-Axis Milling Machine

This paper proposes a new method to find the equations
of transformation matrix for the rotation angles of the two rotational
axes and the coordinates of the three linear axes of an orthogonal
multi-axis milling machine. This approach provides intuitive physical
meanings for rotation angles of multi-axis machines, which can be
used to evaluate the accuracy of the conversion from CL data to NC
data.
