What is and what does the Retrofit of Coordinate Measuring Machines (MMC) achieve?  

He "retrofit” involves updating or modernizing existing measurement equipment to improve its accuracy, speed, measurement capacity or to adapt it to newer technologies. Get:  

  • Extend service life of the coordinate measuring machine (CMM). 
  • Improve measurement systems. Thus increasing productivity. 
  • Obtain more security long-term. 
  • possibility of add all kinds of new technologies of probing sensors, scanners, inspection accessories… and thus optimize your measurement processes. And improve the precision and repeatability of the system. 
  • Economic savings regarding the acquisition of a new CMM. 
  • Delivery term faster and more flexible

  

Types of retrofit for Three-Dimensional Measuring Machines  

Depending on the improvement that the machine needs, there are different types of retrofit. From the latest level software update to the complete three-dimensional reconstruction. It is important to have experts in the field who can advise on the best option. Among the actions that can be carried out in the retrofit are the following: 

  • Replacement, modernization and adjustment of mechanical and pneumatic elements; fundamental for good geometry of the CMM. Copy of Blue Modern Post Carousel Tips LinkedIn Carousel
  • Rewired complete three-dimensional machine.
  • Replacement of the rules and reading heads
  • Review and adjustment of servomotors, or replacement if damaged.
  • Change of cnc controllers
  • Update and enhancement of probing system, with new more precise and efficient probes, continuous probing technology or digitization. 
  • Update of measurement software

  

 

7 Advantages of Retrofit over second-hand Three-Dimensional Machines  

  1. Warranty 
  2. Purchase experience equivalent to new: Turnkey, cost control, no surprises, transfer, calibration, installation, training, etc. 
  3. The renewed equipment has a life expectancy of 20 years. 
  4. Configurable: choice of accessories, software, etc. 
  5. Eligible. 
  6. More economical (25-50%) than purchasing a second-hand machine that requires repairs later. 
  7. Reduced delivery time.
