UCC2

Universal CMM controller suitable for touch-trigger and scanning probing.

UCC2™ is also the controller platform for the revolutionary new Renscan5® technology.

About UCC2

The new UCC2™ offers full 4-axis control and scanning capability.

Known part adaptive scanning techniques:

• cylinder scan
• gasket scan
• grid scan
• automatic find centre
• advanced data filtering
• advanced analogue probe calibration

 

UCC2™ specification

The technical specification includes the following features:

Specification
Max. CMM axes	4
Scale inputs	Renishaw RGH22, RGH24, RGH41 and other digital scales are directly supported. Analogue scales can be supported via an external interface.
Uncommitted binary I/O	6 inputs and 7 outputs available as standard
Joystick	Comprehensive joystick interface
Probe interface cards	TP20, TP200/SCR200, SP600 and SP25M interfaces available as standard
Enclosure	19" 3U rack-mountable enclosure with 5 expansion slots plus 1 PCI slot
Ethernet	Simple ethernet link to the PC via a crossover LAN cable
Error map	Internal

 

'Daughter' card options

The UCC2™ has a range of compatible additional card options.

 

 

Card	Function
PICS/RS232 auxiliary product interface	Adds two RS232 communication ports to the UCC, and includes a PICs compliant connector. Optional card to allow the basic measuring system to be enhanced with alternative probes and/or added peripherals.
PH10 motorised head interface	Provides an interface between the PH10 probe head and the application software, requiring no external hardware and with minimal cabling requirements.
SP80 probe interface	Plug-in card for the UCC that operates the SP80 scanning probe.
SP25M probe interface	This daughtercard extends the capability of the analogue connector probe port (for use with the SP600, TP200 and TP20 range of probes) permitting use of the SP25M probe without the need to change cable connections.
MCU daughtercard	MCU is a multi-functional hand control unit that can provide complete CMM control.
Additional axis	Can be configured for a rotary table or dual drive interface. More than one can be fitted in a single controller.
Temperature sensor	Traditionally high accuracy measurement has been confined to environments where the temperature can be controlled to minimise the influence of thermal errors. As more and more CMM manufacturers are moving towards in line inspection with shop hardened machines, the need for temperature compensation is increasing. The temperature sensor inputs can now be connected to UCC1 or UCC2 and, using the additional temperature card, make machine and workpiece temperature compensations, increasing the accuracy of the CMM.
