PHC10-2 legacy head controller

PHC10-2 head controller receives instructions from the CMM control

PHC10-2 motorised head controller

The PHC10-2 controls all head functions and reports system status to the CMM:

  • Drives PH10 (PH10T, PH10M or PH10MQ) to position - sent either from the HCU1 or CMM
  • Checks and reports position
  • Flags up errors, e.g. failure to reach position, obstruction before or after locking etc.

The PHC10-2 does not process any of the probe sensor signals. These are railed clean through the heads axes and controller to the probe interface.
