The Universal Jogbox, is the handheld control device for Sheffield Coordinate Measurement Machines (CMMs). The unit incorporates a modern touch screen interface with an ergonomic design and soft-touch materials. It was designed to be tough enough to withstand the rigors of industrial use with resistance to drops and similar shocks. It's designed to optimize the workflow based on how users interact with the CMM.
Improved features and functionality include:
- Offset joystick less likely to break if dropped
- Double enable buttons for left or right-handed operation
- Greater variety of functions available than the previous version
- Universal, clearly understandable button symbols
- Audible feedback
- Operator Position Button
- "Gloved Hand" Mode for ease of use with gloves
- "Legacy Mode" features the traditional Sheffield jogbox button layout and labels
- Direct communication with PC-DMIS via Bluetooth wireless link (on enhanced version only)
