General information  1 General information This chapter describes the features and the technical characteristics of the UJB Kit.
2  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual Introduction The Universal Jogbox (UJB) is a portable device of the Hexagon Metrology (HexMet ) measuring systems that allows performing many operations while standing close to the CMM. For example, you can move the machine axes using the joystick lever or perform manual operations while self-teaching a part program under the control of the measuring software. You can also activate CNC motion in Manual Mode at low speed, keeping one of the Enable pushbuttons pressed. The UJB is meant to be used together with a HexMet coordinate measuring machine (CMM), controlled by a HexMet electronic controller consisting of proprietary hardware and firmware (resident software). It can also be used together with non-proprietary CMMs, provided that they are equipped with a HexMet controller and integrated with the safety features required on the basis of a risk analysis. A UJB cannot be used for general purposes. In its standard version, the UJB is connected to the control system by a special cable, 7 or 15 m long. In particularly long machines and under particular operating conditions, a cable connected UJB may interfere with operation. It should therefore be replaced by a wireless system that makes operation easier and safer for the user. The wireless kit is a HexMet optional component replacing the standard UJB. It consists of a wireless UJB Portable Unit and a Base Unit. The operation of the two devices (standard and wireless UJB) is identical. Layout, functions and features of the two devices are identical with the addition, in the case of the wireless version, of some controls relative to the wireless connection and to the battery pack state. The following figure shows a one-arm measuring system equipped with the UJB Kit. Figure 1 UJB Kit
General information  3 Theory of operation The following figure shows the physical and logical connections between the Portable Unit and the Base Unit of the UJB Kit and between Base Unit and control system. Figure 2 UJB Kit interconnections The transmission protocol specifically designed and developed for the UJB Kit allows transmitting with a high degree of safety, and on a single radio channel, both the condition of the STOP pushbutton (pressed/released) and the user’s commands issued by means of the Portable Unit’s joystick, buttons and touch-screen. The same single, bi-directional, half-duplex radio channel transmits to the Portable Unit’s touch-screen the control system’s feedback relatively to the issued commands. The transmission of a safety code univocal to each UJB Kit guarantees that the radio communication between Portable and Base Unit is not affected by interferences coming from other wireless devices in the same frequency range. The Base Unit converts the data received from the Portable Unit and sends it, through the interconnection cable, to the Control System. In practice, the Base Unit is perceived by the control system as a standard UJB. As soon as the Base Unit receives the STOP signal generated by the pressure of the STOP pushbutton on the Portable Unit, it disables its own safety relays and makes the control system enter a safety emergency condition. Immediately, the control system stops the arm, i.e. cuts the power supply to the driving gear causing the immediate stop of the measuring system and of its moving parts (for further details about the management of anomaly and emergency conditions, please refer to the User’s Manual of the control system). The Base Unit continues keeping the control system into the safety emergency condition until it receives the signal that the user has restored both the data transmission and the STOP pushbutton. The Base Unit generates a safety emergency condition also when the radio channel becomes unavailable for any reason (e.g. low battery, Portable Unit shutdown, a hardware malfunction, an interference on the radio channel, exceeding the allowable distance or poor signal quality). The Base Unit also converts and sends through the radio connection the information addressed to the Portable Unit that is generated by the control system.

8  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual External Host Interface The Portable Unit, in addition to the main radio module, features also a second radio module (see the figure of the previous page) for communicating with a PC hosting a measurement software such as PC-DMIS. The PC-side radio connection is assured by an optional USB Bluetooth Dongle. In this way the Portable Unit becomes a PC-DMIS’ External Host Interface providing the main functions employed during a part-program self-learning procedure. The UJB External Host Interface provides to measurement software such as PC-DMIS a way to communicate directly with a UJB via touches and graphics drawn directly on the UJB’s touch-screen. This interface provides virtually limitless possibility for the measurement software and CMM operator to interact. Overview The UJB External Host Interface uses a wireless Bluetooth connection to talk directly to the host PC running the measurement software, PC-DMIS. There are 2 basic areas of the UJB where the operator can view graphics from the external host (see the figure below):  The banner area at the top of the page: this can be viewed on most operational pages (banner is not viewable in service page areas)  The dedicated external host page. The operator can access the external host page in two ways: touching the banner or using the External Host Interface button on the main page. From the External Host full page the operator can press the home button and it will always return to the page he was previously on. NOTE: for any additional information about using PC-DMIS with the Portable Unit, please refer to the PC-DMIS software documentation.  BANNER AREA  EXTERNAL HOST INTERFACE BUTTON

10  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual Safety precautions for the use of the UJB Kit Given that the UJB Wireless device appears to the system as a normal cabled UJB, during its use you must observe all the relative precautions specified in the following documents:  User’s Manuals of the utilized measuring system components (typically, measuring machine, control system and measuring software)  Specific manuals relative to the installation and the application (if present). In particular, it is necessary to strictly observe the following safety rules:  Always remain within direct sight of the measuring machine’s movements commanded by means of the UJB Wireless and follow them carefully.  Before starting to use the UJB Wireless Portable Unit always check the operation of the STOP button. If it does not work or does not cause the expected emergency conditions, do not use the Portable Unit.  Only switch on or operate the UJB Wireless Portable Unit to perform conscious and desired operations. An improper use of the Portable Unit could cause dangerous situations.  Immediately intervene by pressing the STOP button whenever a dangerous situation occurs.  Check the entire work area and intervene by pressing the STOP button whenever a dangerous situation occurs.  Take care that no material such as dust or particles that could cause Portable Unit faults or compromise its safe operation are deposited on its surface.  In case of malfunction, damaged parts or faults, switch off and do not use the UJB Wireless until the problem has not been solved or removed.  If more than one UJB Wireless device is present in the same work area, take care of placing each Portable Unit in such a way that it is manifest to what measuring machine it is associated. In order to easily identify the correspondence between Portable Unit and measuring machine, at installation time two identical labels have been applied to the Portable Unit and to the measuring machine.
Instructions for use  11 Commands and signals of the Portable Unit Figure 5 UJB Portable Unit front view The controls available on the UJB Wireless Portable Unit are identical to those of the standard UJB with the addition of some specific controls/signals for the battery and wireless connection management.
12  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual Unit Operation Once you have completed the installation and powered up the system, the UJB will complete a boot cycle. Once the controller completes its boot cycle the X, Y and Z icons on the main screen will change from grey to green. You will then be in a position to begin normal machine operation. Press the machine start button located in the lower right quadrant of the UJB. Depress the right or left enable buttons located in the center of the UJB to jog the machine with your joystick. The UJB comes with a touch screen display for ease of operation. Depressing the touch screen icons will issue commands to the controller initiating an action. When a touch screen icon is pressed the icon will temporarily change to a halftone colour indicating contact to the screen has been made. A ‘blip’ will also be heard. The purpose of the halftone is to provide feedback to the operator that a touch has been registered with the system for action and prevent a user from mistakenly touching the input screen a second time and reversing the intended action. The icon will change to a green state when the function is active; green icons indicate the function is active or “On” while grey icons indicate the function is inactive or “Off”. When powered up the touch screen will enter the Main Screen, also referred to as the “Normal Machine Control” page (see the “Icon Cross Reference (Normal Machine Control Page)” paragraph of page 14). Pressing the Home icon will immediately take you to the Home page (see the figure below). The touch screen display is divided into three sections (the Home Page is displayed):  The upper banner which when pressed will take the operator to an “External Host page”.  Main screen icons which contain the active icon set to operate your CMM.  BANNER AREA  MAIN SCREEN  NAVIGATION BAR Home Machine Speed Machine Status Bluetooth Connection RF Signal Level Battery Level CMM OPERATION SERVICE WIRELESS EXTERNAL HOST INTERFACE)

18  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual UJB Wireless Portable Unit Use Instructions Switching ON/OFF the unit Switch on/off the UJB Wireless Portable Unit using the ON/OFF button (see Figure 5 of page 11). Note: the Portable Unit will start operating only after the arm will have been correctly started. While starting the arm, always remember to first switch on the Portable Unit and then the control system. The procedure for starting the UJB Wireless Portable Unit while starting the arm is as follows: 1. If depressed, release the STOP button. 2. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch for a few seconds. 3. Switch on the control system. 4. If the Portable Unit and the control system have been correctly started, the UJB Wireless (after 50-80 seconds) will be synchronized and will display the following indications: a. The Wireless Level icon becomes red indicating the signal level received by the Portable Unit. b. The Machine Status icon goes from blinking in yellow/red colors to grey. c. Some of the Normal Machine Control Page’s icons are switched off (initially all icons are on). 5. If needed, you can now press the Machine Start button to power on the machine axes. If the STOP button is pressed, the radio communication between Portable and Base Unit is interrupted: this will evidently cause the interruption of the dialogue with the control system. When the STOP button is released, after a few seconds, the communication with the Base Unit (and the control system) will be synchronized again and the Portable Unit will be operative again. Note: if, at the first start, the UJB Wireless Portable Unit is switched on AFTER the control system, a functional emergency condition will be generated and the user will see the “JOGBOX FAULT” signalization. In order to restore this emergency, switch off the control system and repeat the procedure described above. For further information about the arm start procedures and the emergency recovery, please refer to the User’s Manual of the utilized control system.
Instructions for use  19 UJB Wireless Portable Unit Command Reference Joystick The joystick is used to move one or more of the X, Y and Z axes of the measuring machine at a desired speed. The joystick can be deflected to the left or right, forwards or backwards, and turned clockwise or anticlockwise. These movements can be combined with one another. Only the X, Y and Z linear axes may be moved using the joystick. The status of the icon on each X JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE, Y JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE, Z JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE UJB touchscreen button indicates which axis is enabled for movement (grey icon = axis disabled; steady green icon = axis enabled). The movements of the X, Y and Z machine axes are controlled from the UJB, and are made at the speed set using the knob situated on the UJB. The maximum speed at which axes may be moved depends on the status of the SLOW MODE icon. Which axis moves, and in what direction, following each movement of the joystick, depends on the reference system in use on the measuring machine and the status of the OPERATOR POSITION button. For further details, see “Moving the Machine Axes from the Portable Unit” on page 22. To sum up, the axis movements controlled from the UJB are only made if all the conditions listed below are satisfied:  No axis is moving when the movement is activated.  The ENABLE button is held pressed while moving the joystick.  The icons of the touchscreen buttons that refer to the axes to be moved (X JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE, Y JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE and Z JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE buttons) are steady green.  The speed set on the UJB is not zero.  The control system is in the Run status. STOP Pushbutton When this pushbutton is pressed, a safety emergency condition is generated. See “Managing an Emergency Condition” on page 23 for further details. ENABLE The ENABLE button must be kept pressed when the UJB is used to move the axes. If the joystick is moved without holding this button pressed, the axes will not move (this prevents unwanted accidental movement of machine axes). MACHINE START The MACHINE START button turns on the power supply for the axis drives, thus enabling machine axes to be moved from the Part Program or the UJB. To turn on the power supply for the drives, hold the button pressed for at least two seconds. The drives are only supplied if there are no pending emergency conditions. The Machine Status indicator on the touchscreen shows the current setting:  Indicator off. The drives of the axes are not powered (for example, due to an emergency). Default setting when the control system is started up.  Indicator green. The drives of the axes are powered. If the START button is not present on the control panel of the control system, the MACHINE START button is always enabled. If the START button is present on the control panel, the MACHINE START button is only enabled when the control system is in Manual status (when the control system is in Automatic status, use the START button on the control panel of the control system).
20  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual ON/OFF This ON/OFF button is used to switch on/off the Portable Unit. The unit does not switch off automatically, therefore always remember to switch it off when not in use, to prevent a complete discharge of the battery. See also the details on the battery charge (Charging the Battery Pack, page 38). MACHINE SPEED This knob is used to set the speed of movement of the machine axes. By turning the knob, the speed can be set to any value between zero (the machine axes remain still) and the allowed maximum speed (which depends on the status of the control system and the setting made using the SLOW MODE touchscreen button. The Machine Speed indicator on the touchscreen shows the value currently applied as the percentage of the allowed maximum speed. Note. If the speed regulator is set to the minimum value (zero), the axes of the measuring machine will not move. For example, the regulator must be set to an appropriate speed before the machine axis homing procedure is started. X JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE Y JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE Z JOYSTICK AXIS ENABLE Each of these buttons starts or stops the movement of the corresponding axis using the UJB. The colour of the icon of the button indicates the current setting:  Green icon. The corresponding axis can be moved using the joystick. When the control system is started, all three icons are green.  Grey icon. The corresponding axis cannot be moved using the joystick. DELETE POINT The DELETE POINT button is used to respond to requests coming from the software. Its function therefore depends on the software in use. DONE The DONE touchscreen button is used to respond to requests coming from the software. Its function therefore depends on the software in use. JOG MODE Touchscreen button. Not used. LOCK/UNLOCK Touchscreen button. Not used. RECORD MOVE – POINT The RECORD MOVE - POINT touchscreen button is used to respond to requests coming from the software. Its function therefore depends on the software in use. PROBE ENABLE The PROBE ENABLE touchscreen button only has effect during probe movement using the UJB. The colour of the icon on the PROBE ENABLE button indicates the current setting:  Grey icon. When the probe touches an object, the axis movements are not stopped (the contact inside the probe is always kept open).  Green icon. When the probe touches an object during a movement or point picking operation, the axis movements are stopped. This is the normal method of using a probe. C A U T I O N When the icon of the PROBE ENABLE button is grey, the control system cannot detect any collision or contact between the probe and any object; great care must therefore be taken when moving the probe.
Instructions for use  21 RUN/HOLD The RUN/HOLD touchscreen button switches the control system from Run to Hold and vice versa. The colour of the icons on the RUN/HOLD button indicates the current setting:  icon on red. The control system is in Hold.  icon on green. The control system is in Run. Default setting at control system start-up. The RUN/HOLD button may always be used to switch from Run to Hold. If the control panel has the RUN and HOLD buttons, the RUN/HOLD button will only switch from Hold to Run when the control system is in Manual status (to switch from Hold to Run when the control system is in Automatic status, use the RUN button on the control panel). The RUN/HOLD button has the same function as the RUN and HOLD buttons on the control panel (if present). SHIFT The SHIFT touchscreen button allows selecting which set of axes the joystick will control: the choice is between the main set of three axes (default) and the additional set of axes, typically those of the continuous wrist. SLOW MODE The SLOW MODE touchscreen button sets the maximum speed for machine axes while their movement is controlled from the UJB. Two values may be chosen (fastJogVel and slowJogVel, with fastJogVel > slowJogVel), are configured on the control system and vary according to the type of measuring machine in use. When the control system is in Manual status, the maximum speed of the machine axes is set to the lower value between the one selected using the SLOW MODE button and the manualVel setup parameter. (The manualVel setup parameter specifies the maximum speed at which the linear axes of the measuring machine can be moved using the joystick or Part Program when the control system is in Manual status). The colour of the icon in the SLOW MODE button indicates the current setting:  Grey icon. The maximum speed is fastJogVel (or manualVel as described above).  Green icon. The maximum speed is slowJogVel. Default setting at control system start-up (or manualVel as described above). Important Note. The measuring performance and operation of the measuring machine in use are only guaranteed if the maximum speed is set to slowJogVel (and the icon of the PROBE ENABLE button is green). When the axes are moved from the joystick using fastJogVel (icon gray), to prevent problems caused by false triggering, we recommend you select “gray icon” condition on the PROBE ENABLE touchscreen button. OPERATOR POSITION The OPERATOR POSITION touchscreen button is used to reconfigure the movements of the joystick according to the position of the user with respect to the measuring machine. The status of the OPERATOR POSITION icon influences the mapping of the joystick movements that cause the X and Y axes to move. For further details, see “Moving the Machine Axes from the Portable Unit” on page 22.
22  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual Moving the Machine Axes from the Portable Unit Note. The information given in this section is valid when the measuring machine is configured with the Hexagon Metrology standard reference system (commonly adopted in most applications). If another reference system is being used, this information is to be interpreted in accordance with the actual configuration. The figure below shows an example that indicates where the user should be positioned with respect to the measuring machine when the icon of the OPERATOR POSITION touchscreen button is set as shown to the left. In this case, moving the joystick forwards (backwards) causes a movement in the +X (–X) direction, when moving the joystick to the right (left), the movement is made in the –Y (+Y) direction. On the basis of the conventions indicated above, each joystick movement moves the corresponding machine axis as indicated in the table below. OPERATOR POSITION Icon User Position Joystick Movement Axis Movement In front of the CMM Shift Right/Left +X/-X translation Shift Forwards/Backwards +Y/-Y translation Turn Clockwise/Anticlockwise –Z/+Z translation Behind the CMM Shift Right/Left -X/+X translation Shift Forwards/Backwards -Y/+Y translation Turn Clockwise/Anticlockwise –Z/+Z translation To the right of the CMM Shift Right/Left +Y/-Y translation Shift Forwards/Backwards -X/+X translation Turn Clockwise/Anticlockwise –Z/+Z translation To the left of the CMM Shift Right/Left -Y/+Y translation Shift Forwards/Backwards +X/-X translation Turn Clockwise/Anticlockwise –Z/+Z translation
Instructions for use  23 Managing an Emergency Condition When an emergency condition arises, the control system stops the measuring system and signals the emergency condition as follows:  It turns off the Machine Status indicator on the UJB.  It signals the condition to the software which, if correctly started, displays the relevant information for the user. To recover an emergency condition, you must first remove its cause (or causes) and then carry out the recovery procedure (note that there may be several emergency conditions pending at the same time). The measuring system cannot be restarted or reused until all the causes that generated the emergency condition have been removed. If the emergency condition cannot be reset and the arm restarted after all possible causes have been removed, this means that a fatal error has occurred (normally a hardware problem). How to Recover an Emergency Condition (UJB) 1. Eliminate the cause (or causes) that generated the emergency condition. If the software has been started, use also the information displayed on the PC screen to identify the causes and take the appropriate corrective action. 2. Reset the emergency condition. If the control system is in Manual status, press the MACHINE START pushbutton on the UJB. If the control system is in Automatic status, press the START pushbutton on the control panel (if the START pushbutton is not on the control panel, use the MACHINE START pushbutton on the UJB). Keep the button pressed for at least two seconds. 3. Check the status of the Machine Status indicator on the UJB. If the indicator is steady green, the arm has started correctly and is ready for use. If it is off, this means that not all causes of an emergency have been eliminated and so the procedure should be repeated from step 1.

UJB Portable Unit Maintenance  37 UJB Portable Unit Maintenance This chapter describes the UJB Portable Unit maintenance procedures.
38  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual General The UJB Portable Unit does not need you to carry out any particular maintenance procedure with the exception of normal care and cleaning. Pay particular attention to the removal of particles and foreign bodies deposited into the joystick’s cup. Note: in case of faults or for any advice, please refer to the Hexagon Metrology’s Customer Service. Touch screen and buttons When necessary, clean using commercially available detergents or water on a soft cloth. Charging the Battery Pack The technology of the batteries, the extended battery life and the short recharge times make not necessary replacing the rechargeable battery pack. The Battery Pack may only be charged by placing the Portable Unit on its Docking Station (see “C” in Figure 3 and the figure below) or by connecting the AC/DC Adapter’s plug to the jack connector located next to the Portable Unit’s handle, after opening its protective cap (see the figure of the following page). In both cases the AC/DC Adapter provides the energy needed for recharging the battery pack and supplying the Unit’s electronic circuits. Figure 6 AC/DC Adapter plugged into the Docking Station The supplied batteries have an initial charge of over 80%; in any case, the long-term performance of the batteries may be optimized by carrying out a few complete charge/discharge cycles. Also, in order to guarantee the full battery life from the first utilization, before using the Portable Unit for the first time, completely recharge the battery pack as described above. You can recharge the lithium-ion polymer battery pack whenever convenient, without requiring a full charge or discharge cycle, without affecting its life-cycle. The lithium-ion polymer battery pack is protected against full discharge: in case of discharged battery pack, the Portable Unit turns itself off automatically. After this, do not keep trying to switch it on with the ON/OFF button.
UJB Portable Unit Maintenance  39 Figure 7 AC/DC Adapter plugged into the Portable Unit The battery pack recharge also occurs when the Portable Unit is off. The choice of the recharging method (via Docking Station or direct) depends on the type of use:  If the operator often utilizes the Portable Unit and does it for extended periods of time, it is advisable to place it on the Docking Station when not in use. When placed on the Docking Station, a double beep signals to the operator that the battery charge is started (the battery level icon changes too, see the table of the following page).  If the operator initiates automatic measuring cycles by means of the control panel and for several days does not use the Portable Unit, then connecting the AC/DC Adapter directly to the Portable is appropriate. The Battery Pack recharge current is managed automatically: therefore, leaving the Portable Unit connected to the AC/DC Adapter continuously does not damage the battery pack. When the battery pack is fully charged, the recharge current is reduced to almost zero and therefore any stress to batteries is prevented. A completely discharged Battery Pack is fully charged in 3 hours (typical): anyway, about 1 hour is sufficient for the batteries to reach a charge level equal to 60-70% of full charge. The battery life is around 9-10 hours of continuous operation with the display backlight always on. The touch screen display shows the “Battery Level” in the lower part. Battery Level
40  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual The battery icon provides the following battery charge and status information: 100% Charge 75% Charge 50% Charge 25% Charge 10% Charge < 10% Charge Alarm Battery status error Re-charging When the battery life is reduced to about one hour, in addition to the 10% charge level a repetitive beep signals the condition to the user. To stop this acoustic signal, place the Portable Unit on the Docking Station and wait for a few minutes. A fully discharged battery left for a long period of time will lose part of its charging capacity: if you are not going to power the UJB for several weeks, fully charge the Battery Pack. Inserting the Battery Pack The following figure shows the battery pack lower/internal side with the connector that must be inserted into the Portable Unit’s respective connector.
