Why retrofit? Most CMM structures are not subject to high levels of wear and so remain serviceable for many years. BUT, software, control systems and sensors can become outdated as new, faster and more capable ones are introduced.

Upgrading your CMM can give it a new lease of life. Increased measurement capability. Greater software functionality and usability.

Faster throughput. Automation and lower operating costs. Supported, open CMM controller. Future-proof investment. Low risk of change. A complete solution direct from Renishaw Users of all brands of CMM now have the opportunity to transform their measurement performance with an upgrade to Renishaw's innovative metrology systems.

Renishaw provides a comprehensive CMM retrofit solution, based around the proven UCC2 universal CMM controller and its MODUS CMM metrology software. Combined with an unrivalled range of touch-trigger, scanning and 5-axis sensors, as well as global support and UKAS accredited machine calibration, Renishaw has assembled all the elements to deliver a professional, state-of-the-art CMM retrofit solution. A solution for all brands of CMM Although Renishaw's unique REVO 5-axis measurement system has been available from Mitutoyo, Wenzel, Dukin and Metris for some time, until now users of other CMMs have been unable to take advantage of this revolutionary technology. The operational benefits of increased productivity, reduced inspection lead times and greater automation of measurement tasks are now available to all CMM users. A Renishaw retrofit gives users of all brands of CMM access to state-of-the-art technology, with the security of global service and support direct from the manufacturer “We can now offer customers of all brands of CMM, including Hexagon and Zeiss, a complete solution that features leading-edge technology in every aspect, backed up by the security of service and support direct from Renishaw.” The award-winning REVO 5-axis measurement system provides unprecedented speed, accuracy and flexibility. Whilst the PH20 5-axis measurement system provides a low cost entry system for those only requiring touch trigger measurement capability.

Cmm Measuring Machine

Give your old CMMs a new lease of life. Join the measurement revolution!

Distinguish CNC and Manual There are two kinds of work method of CMM: Manual and CNC. 1、Manual: If you only inspect small and simple feature and the accuracy is not very high, the manual CMM is the preferred. Because the manual machine can not filter the error from the measuring result, the CNC machine is recommended. 2、CNC: If to measure many same parts, and the accuracy is high, you should select CNC machine, and the they can filter the error from different operators. Dmis programmer means the high speed measurement without any error. Tolerance is very important for measurement, the manual can not achieve the small tolerance requirement, but it’s the advantages of CNC machine.

二、How to select the accuracy and model 1、 How to select the accuracy of your CMM CMM is high precision measurement machine, but it’s not means we should but the highest one. For the precision, the principles: Affordable! For details, please click: 2、 Which kind of construction to select? According to the probe installed on the CMM, there 3 kinds: vertical, horizontal and portable. （1）Vertical: In this kind of CMM the probe was installed on the vertical arm, they have high accuracy and good stability.

This kind of CMM is designed to measure small to middle size parts. A.L-shaped bridge: it elevate the position of the driver to guarantee the stability, it’s for small and middle size parts measurement. Fixed bridge: This kind of CMM eliminate the Abbe error, it’s for high precision measurement.

Gantry: This kind of CMM it’s for large size part to be measured. As follow picture.
