General information
This chapter describes the features and the technical characteristics of the UJB Kit.
General information  1
Introduction
The Universal Jogbox (UJB) is a portable device of the Hexagon 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 (see Figure 5).
The UJB is meant to be used together with a Hexagon coordinate measuring machine (CMM), controlled
by a Hexagon 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 Hexagon
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 Hexagon 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
2  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual
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.

UJB Kit installation and maintenance
Users of the UJB Kit are only allowed to perform the ordinary maintenance operations described in this
document.
The UJB Kit’s installation and extraordinary maintenance operations must be performed by Hexagon’s
service personnel or by qualified personnel expressly authorized by Hexagon.
If the Portable Unit or the Base Unit have to be repaired at the Hexagon’s facilities, always send both
devices, even if only one of them is not working.
Therefore you are advised to keep the UJB Kit’s packaging in a suitable location.
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):

BANNER AREA

EXTERNAL HOST
INTERFACE BUTTON

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 PCDMIS software documentation.

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.

It is recommended NOT to use the STOP button of the UJB Wireless Portable Unit when the axes
are moving in AUTO (automatic) mode because the stopping spaces at high speeds are longer
than those obtained using the wired emergency buttons. This is especially true when operating in
an environment with strong electromagnetic noise.

Using the STOP button of the UJB Wireless Portable Unit when moving the axes in MAN (manual)
mode or in AUTO2 mode (when supported) has no contraindication because the difference in the
stopping spaces is not meaningful at low speeds.

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.

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
Note: while the STOP button is depressed, the unit checks the integrity of the ENABLE buttons that
therefore MUST NOT be depressed simultaneously with the STOP button. If this happens, the error that will
occur will be recoverable only by power cycling the unit (switching off / on the unit by means of the ON/OFF
switch, see Figure 5).
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).

If this condition lasts longer than 10-20 seconds, check that the emergency button is released or
that both the control system and the Base Unit are switched on.
5. If the Portable Unit and the control system have been correctly started, the UJB Wireless 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).
6. 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.

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).
Instructions for use  19
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 enables/disables the reporting of a probe hit (both
in jog and DCC).
The colour of the icon on the PROBE ENABLE button indicates the current setting:

Grey icon: probe hit reporting is disabled.

Green icon: probe hit reporting is enabled. This is the normal method of using a probe.
Note: When the icon of the PROBE ENABLE button is grey, the probe stopping function remains in full
force to prevent collisions.
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
Instructions for use  21
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.
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 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 that follows.

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.
a. 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).
b. 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.

This chapter describes the UJB Portable Unit maintenance procedures.
UJB Portable Unit Maintenance  37
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’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.
38  UJB Wireless Kit - User's manual
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.

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.
The battery pack must be recharged at least once every 4-5 weeks.
If you plan not to use the UJB for a period longer than one month, however, keep the charger connected,
or remove the pack from the Portable Unit.

General Operating Note
Users should be aware that during normal operation the icon will momentarily change to halftone when the
user touches an icon on the display. The purpose of the halftone is to provide feedback to the operator that
a touch has been registered with the controller for action and prevent a user from mistakenly touching the
display a second time and reversing the intended action. The touch-screen display does not support multi
press operation.

Unit Operation
The boot cycle completes once you have completed installation and powered up the UJB, with STOP button
released, and after having switched the control system on. When the controller completes the boot cycle
the X, Y and Z Icons on the main screen will change from green to grey.
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 and jog the machine with your joystick.
The UJB comes with a touch screen display for ease of operation. Depressing the Touch Screen graphic
Icons will issue commands to the controller to initiate an action. When an Icon is pressed a halo will
temporarily light the periphery of the Icon indicating a press has been initiated. The Icon will change color
when the LED is lit.
The screen is divided into 3 sections, upper banner, main screen icons and navigation section. To operate
the machine you will be primarily using the main screen. For gloved screen and probe function screen
operation please refer to CMM Gloved Operation Screens on page 16.
