UCC T5

5-axis touch-trigger automated head solution.

  • UCC T5CMM controller for 5-axis touch-trigger motion and head control - PH20 only
  • Must be used in conjunction with a Renishaw SPA3 amplifier
  • Uses an external power supply and manages full control of the PH20 head, CMM and probe signals and communicates with the CMM's computer
  • Replaces the UCC2-2 and 5-axis daughtercard for PH20 installations
  • Has integral thermal error compensation (TEC) with support for 16 channels of temperature compensation
  • Setup and commissioning should be completed through Renishaw's UCCassist-2 software
