DEAG59602801Uniterm 01 CMM Operator Interface Panel — Control-Side Panel for DEA and Brown & Sharpe Coordinate Measuring Machines

Product Description

What this part is

A DEA Uniterm 01, part number G59602801: an operator interface panel for DEA coordinate measuring machines and the Brown & Sharpe CMM systems that share DEA control hardware. It is the operator-facing control interface on the CMM control side.

Panel and jog box on a DEA machine

The portable terminals on a DEA CMM — the hand-held units an operator holds while jogging the machine — are the DEA TU01 and TU04 jog boxes, which carry their own part numbers. Hexagon’s CMM jog box documentation lists them alongside the Universal Jogbox, the Next Jogbox, the Brown & Sharpe jogbox, the Sheffield jogbox, the PMM-G and the Starrett. A TU01 carries a feed knob, two deadman (operator-presence) buttons, eight function buttons, a joystick knob controlling the two carriages and the ram, and a mushroom emergency stop.

The Uniterm 01 is catalogued in the surplus and repair market as a DEA CMM interface panel: the fixed operator interface on the control. The photographs on this listing show the actual front face and the controls it carries.

G59602801: this unit.

G59602802: the sibling variant, catalogued by dealers against the same Uniterm 01 product. The exact number is the match against a machine parts list.

Compatibility

DEA controller generations in circulation include the Tutor P, Tutor N and Master P families. Jog boxes for later Hexagon machines use the Leitz protocol, which indicates that interface generations are specific to their era. The connector and the controller generation on the machine are the reference for a match.

Quantity and configuration

One panel, sold individually. The connecting cable and mating connector, the CMM controller (Tutor P, Tutor N, Master P or later), the machine, the mounting frame and enclosure cut-out hardware, and PC-DMIS or other measurement software are each separate items. A DEA control-side interface is a repair part for an existing DEA-controlled machine.

Interchange guidance

Search forms include G59602801, G596028-01, G5960 2801, G59602802, DEA Uniterm 01, Uniterm01, Uniterm 1, DEA CMM interface panel, Brown & Sharpe CMM operator panel and Hexagon DEA operator interface. Ownership trail buyers search: DEA (Digital Electronic Automation) → Brown & Sharpe → Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. Hexagon still supports DEA-branded CMMs and holds the legacy documentation, so Hexagon service is the route for pinout or controller-compatibility confirmation. Modern Hexagon CMM interfaces are a different architecture, which is why an original Uniterm remains the practical repair for an otherwise sound machine.
