UCC S3

Universal 3-axis scanning and touch-trigger automated head solution.

Powerful 3-axis CMM controller featuring built-in touch-trigger interface, TP200 interface, SP600 and SP25M interface, PH10 PLUS head controller and temperature compensation.

Serving the 3-axis CMM market
Suited to large and small CMMs using SP25M or SP600 scanning probes with PH10 PLUS
Has integral thermal error compensation (TEC) with support for 16 channels of temperature compensation
Must be used in conjunction with a Renishaw SPA3 amplifier
Uses an external power supply and manages full control of the PH10 PLUS head, CMM and probe signals and communicates with the CMM's computer
