H gantry system with stationary drives

This kinematic system is similar to the gantry systems described above, but the drives are

mounted stationary and move the slide and the Y axis via a belt that is looped around

several times (shown in pink in the diagram).
The transformation is suitable for the drive configurations below; other configurations can

be achieved by interchanging x and y:

Please note that a special reference run is necessary for this transformation. If you want to

bring about a motion in the Y direction, drives A and B must be moved in parallel; for a pure

X motion they must be counter-rotated. If the reference position has been found, the x and

y values calculated by the forwards transformation FB are used as offsets (dOffsetX and

dOffsetY).
