HCU2 hand control unit
The HCU2 hand control unit is an optional control which enables the PH10 PLUS system to be used in manual mode or in a teach cycle. A LCD
dot matrix display provides information on system status.
Manual mode
In manual mode the optional HCU2 hand control unit is used to control head and probe functions. If the HCU2 is connected to the PHC10-3
PLUS controller when power is applied to the system, the system will enter manual mode. For further information refer to the HCU2 user's
guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-5361).
Automatic mode
In automatic mode the system is under the control of the CMM computer. The HCU2 cannot be used to control head or probe functions in
automatic mode. With no HCU2 fitted when power is applied to the system, the system will enter automatic mode. The system must be
switched to manual mode under CMM control (and an HCU2 connected) for operation under manual mode.
Please refer to the documentation provided by your CMM supplier for further details on controlling the PH10M-iQ PLUS series of heads using
the CMM computer.
See the HCU2 user's guide (part number H-1000-5361) for further information on the features and operation of the unit, or contact your
Renishaw representative for advice.
