# \[KINEMATICS]

## aAxisOption

***Slave mode***
Slave mode option for A axis. This can be also set this axis as 4th axis for 4-axis milling, 4th foam cutter axis or as a second Z axis motor.

## bAxisOption

***Slave mode***
Slave mode option for B axis.

## cAxisOption

***Slave mode***
Slave mode option for C axis. This can be also set this axis as tangential knife rotation axis.

## zDownToolLength

***Z tool length offset ***
Global tool offset on the Z axis.

:::hint{type="info"}
Use this offset for machines where the tool chuck does not touch the machine bed when the machine is at its lowest Z position. This value is the tool length of the tool that fits when Z is at its lowest
 position.
This value is important for collision guarding.
:::

## disableZCollisionGuard

***Disable Z collision guard ***
This setting disables the Z collision guard.

:::hint{type="danger"}
Z collision guard prevents the tool bit/chuck from hitting the table of your machine. It is strongly recommended to leave this setting disabled (to keep the Z collision guard enabled).

## kinematicsDLLName

***Kinematics DLL***
Library file that handles custom kinematics. Please refer to the manual for more information.

## positiveLimitX
