NOTE: Only to be used with Renishaw UCC controllers and UCC software.

MCUlite-2

The MCUlite-2 is a basic entry level joystick . It has the controls necessary to control a 3-axis touch-trigger CMM and Renishaw head but without the sophistication of an LCD display screen.

NOTE: The MCUlite-2 is not compatible with UCC1.

The MCUlite-2 and HCU are not supported on the same installation.

MCU5-2

The MCU5-2 has been developed for use with Renishaw's REVO and PH20 systems, providing the ability to move the CMM in the probe and stylus axis and has an LCD display.

NOTE: The MCU5-2 is not compatible with UCC1 and requires UCCsuite 4.9 or later.

MCU W-2

The wireless manual control unit (MCU W-2) is a CMM joystick designed for use with Renishaw's range of UCC controllers. Based on the MCU5-2 joystick design, the MCU W-2 uses modern battery technology and Bluetooth® radio modules to provide an effective wireless joystick with a maximum range of 25 m and over eight hours between battery changes. A spare battery and an automatic charger are included in the joystick docking cradle.

NOTE: MCU W-2 is not compatible with UCC1 and requires UCCsuite 4.9 or later.
