HCU2 introduction

The HCU2 is a hand control unit for use with all Renishaw PH10 motorised probe head systems.

HCU2 enables the probe head to be used in a manual mode and is invaluable for component set-up, operator-controlled inspection and teach cycle programming. HCU2 has a two-speed action, with a choice of jog or sweep moves. The LCD screen provides head angle and system status information as well as error analysis.

A transmit button is provided for teach cycle programming. The unit comes complete with probe DAMPing and probe reset functions. The unit is supplied with a 5 m long cable, which can be extended to up to 25 m if required.
