English term

involves the head tipping

English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
It's a machining center somewhat similar to the one in the link below:

The sentence that I have is
The A-axis involves the head tipping and positioning in degrees.

I want to make sure I got the idea correctly. How would you paraphrase that?

Thanks for your attention!
