Measurement & Inspection

As your Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) ages, its performance and accuracy can start to suffer—not because the machine is physically worn out, but due to the rapid evolution of CMM software and technology. As your machine becomes less reliable, many businesses consider replacing it with a new one, but this is often costly. Status Metrology have the ideal solution.

Instead of shelling out tens of thousands of pounds on a new machine, you could refresh your existing CMM and get similar (or even better!) performance and accuracy. That’s exactly what we offer with Status’s CMM retrofits and upgrades!

What is a CMM Retrofit?

A CMM retrofit is like giving your machine a high-tech makeover. It involves updating and modernising key components of your existing CMM, such as:

  • New Software: Upgrade to the latest PC-DMIS for enhanced functionality.
  • New Probe Heads: Improve measurement precision with the latest technology.
  • New Controllers: Install state-of-the-art controllers, like the RC Line Hexagon controller.
  • New PC: Boost processing power with an updated computer.
  • Upgraded CNC Control System: Ensure smooth and accurate operation.

Our retrofits are tailored to your specific needs, offering various levels of upgrades depending on your machine and requirements.

The Benefit of Retrofitting

  • Extended Machine Life: Get more out of your existing equipment.
  • Lower Maintenance Costs: Fewer repairs and upkeep expenses.
  • Enhanced Reliability and Accuracy: More dependable and precise measurements.
  • Increased Efficiency: Inspect more parts, faster and with greater accuracy.

And all of this comes at a FRACTION of the cost of buying a new  machine.

Not Ready for a Full Retrofit?

If you’re not quite looking for a full retrofit, or if you only need to upgrade certain parts of your machine, do not worry! Status Metrology offer a variety of upgrade options:

  • Upgrading your PC-DMIS Software: Ensure your software is up to date with the latest features.
  • Replacing your Controller: Swap out your tired controller for a line-topping RC Line Hexagon Controller.
  • Installing a New Probe Head: Enhance your measurement capabilities with new technology.

Investing in a CMM over-hall with Status not only expands your machine’s capabilities but also reduces maintenance requirements while saving you valuable down time and the significant expense of a new machine.

Ready for a Fresh Start?

There’s never been a better time to consider a CMM retrofit or upgrade. Whether you’re currently a PC-DMIS user or not, Status can breathe new life into your machine and save your business a significant amount of money.
