Motorised head and autochange rack controllers
A range of control systems to interface between Renishaw's motorised heads, autochange racks and your CMM.
ACC2-3 autochange rack controller
The ACC2-3 handles the communications to and from the CMM controller, controls the ACR1 autochange rack and multiplexes and interfaces the head and datum probe signals.

Width | 440 mm (19 in enclosure) |
Depth | 180 mm |
Weight | 1.8 kg |
Data transmission | Serial RS232 |
Voltage range | 90 V - 246 Vac 50 Hz / 60 Hz |
HCU2 hand control unit
HCU2 is a portable head drive and position display unit for use with the PHC10-3 and PHC10-3 PLUS motorised head controller. This is invaluable for setting up a component, operator controlled inspection and teach-cycle programming.
It allows an operator to manually change the orientation of the head without the need for sending commands through the CMM controller.
Features include two speed action (jog and rapid move), two axis head display, transmit button for teach cycle, status and error LEDs.
PHC10-3 PLUS head controller
PHC10-3 PLUS head controller receives instructions from the CMM control. The PHC10-3 PLUS controls all head functions and reports system status to the CMM:
- Drives PH10 PLUS (PH10T PLUS, PH10M PLUS or PH10MQ PLUS) to position - sent either from the HCU2 or CMM
- Checks and reports position
- Flags up errors, e.g. failure to reach position, obstruction before or after locking etc.
The PHC10-3 PLUS does not process any of the probe sensor signals. These are railed clean through the heads axes and controller to the probe interface.
