Performance Upgrade for your CMM

ZEISS Retrofit

Latest technology, higher performance, more functionality, more user-friendly operation, lower repair costs: There are numerous reasons for retrofitting an older coordinate measuring machine. And best of all: It costs only a fraction of a new machine. Individual retrofit products from ZEISS give your coordinate measuring machine a second life and make it fit for the future.

Benefits

  • State of the art - also in the future
  • Fewer downtimes - more confidence
  • Increased usability thanks to new features
  • Digital services also for older measuring machines
  • Many options - one language
  • Like new, but more cost-effective

State of the art - also in the future

More complex components, shorter measuring times, huge amounts of data - the demands on coordinate measuring machines are constantly increasing. Older CMMs are now keeping pace with this - with a retrofit. An upgrade like this makes ZEISS CMMs fit for the challenges of the future.

Many options - one language

Digitalization and connectivity do not stop at measurement technology. To achieve this, your CMMs must all speak the same language. A retrofit brings older CMMs up to date - this means, for example, that uniform databases and cloud services can be used for multiple locations and devices.

Increased usability thanks to new features

Retrofit not only extends the service life. A new controller, connections for additional measuring systems and up-to-date software enable compatibility for the latest technologies. Advantage for the user: easier operation and higher productivity through more automation.

Fewer downtimes - more confidence

Over the years, it is possible that individual components of your measuring machine are subject to greater stress. A retrofit ensures that these components are back to the current series status even before they reach the end of their service life. For less downtime and fast service.

Like new, but more cost-effective

A retrofit is worthwhile: It costs no more than a third compared to a new machine. And it can help to minimize repair costs. This pays off especially if the CMM is closely integrated into the production process, where a failure can lead to high follow-up costs.

Digital services also for older measuring machines

Store data in the cloud, remote access, connecting different CMMs and protocols: What is taken for granted today was still the future 10 years ago. Retrofit from ZEISS upgrades your used CMM with the latest technologies and makes it ready for digital products such as ZEISS Smart Services.

The possibilities are almost limitless

From the update of the measuring software to the complete renewal including exchange of machine control, cabling and drive units - Retrofit offers almost unlimited possibilities to bring coordinate measuring machines back to the state of the art. Depending on the age and condition of your measuring machine, ZEISS retrofit products can be individually tailored to your needs - as individual upgrades or through smartly tailored upgrade packages from the Fit Family.

Retrofit packages for all needs:

The ZEISS Fit Family

In addition to individual retrofit measures, depending on the age of the coordinate measuring machine and your requirements, three coordinated and interrelated upgrade packages are available to bring older coordinate measuring machines back up to the latest hardware and software standards. Individually adjustable options also open many additional possibilities: Use of new sensors, remote maintenance, installation of a rotary table, wireless control panel and much more.

Options

operator controls the coordinate measuring process

ZEISS ConFit

The easiest upgrade for more functionality

The ZEISS ConFit package includes a firmware update as well as checks of the drives and sensor. ZEISS ConFit allows the CMM to be equipped with a rotary table, control panel and ProMax changing rack - if available for the machine. A parallel update of ZEISS CALYPSO not only ensures a faster measuring speed, but also greater ease of use.

Available for

ZEISS coordinate measuring machines manufactured from 2010 onwards.

ZEISS FutureFit

The advanced upgrade for older devices

ZEISS FutureFit allows you to retrofit many additional functions. This keeps your processes cost-effective and reliable. With ZEISS FutureFit, the CMM control (C99 types) is brought up to the current series status, thus enabling simplified and efficient service. It also serves as a basis for software maintenance contracts and extended software functions and enables you to use current and future software versions.

Includes ZEISS ConFit.

Available for

ZEISS coordinate measuring machines manufactured from 2000 onwards.

ZEISS SensorFit

The performance upgrade for maximum flexibility

With the ZEISS SensorFit retrofit package, you can bring your CMM up to date with the latest sensor technology. The new standard enables you to operate the latest sensors on your machine - optical and tactile and sensors for roughness measurement. Regardless of which sensors you choose - ZEISS SensorFit provides the basis that ensures the continued operation of your device for the future.
