UCC BI universal CMM controller
The UCC BI is required for a CMM system which uses brushless motors
Provides the interface between the CMM controller and the SPA2-2 (which provides power to the brushless motors)
Features
- Up to four CMM axes can be handled by the UCC BI
 - Up to five CMM axes can be handled by a dual UCC BI system.
 - The UCC BI can automatically adjust the supply voltage to encoder readheads (to compensate for long scale cables)
 - Some 3rd party temperature compensation boxes can be interfaced to the UCC BI using the RS232 interface
 - Probe interface (PICS)
 - MCU interface
 - Supporting incremental and absolute encoders
 - CMM machine input / output, including:
 - Air solenoid
 - Brakes (for each axis)
 - Z-axis crash status
 - Travel limit warnings (both inner and outer limits for each axis)
 - Air status
 - 13 un-committed I/O (6 input and 7 output) that can be customised by the user
