Coordinate measurement

CMM coordinate measuring machines: new and retrofit

New COORD3 coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and retrofits of CMMs from various brands, for dimensional inspection in the laboratory or close to production. We help you choose the configuration best suited to your parts, tolerances and inspection volume.

Applications

Where CMM Machines create value

Laboratory Quality Control

Suitable for inspecting parts with extremely tight geometric and dimensional tolerances (GD&T). In a climate-controlled environment, the rigid CMM structure and high-precision sensors eliminate variables, with repeatable results in First Article Inspection (FAI).

Multi-brand Retrofit and Modernisation

Do not discard the heavy mechanics of your old CMM. We replace obsolete controllers with top-of-the-range electronics (Renishaw) and update the software to Metrolog X4. A retrofit may require a lower investment than a new machine and restores speed, precision and connectivity to your equipment.

Automation and In-Line Inspection

CMM automation can help increase productivity with automated measurement routines. Through advanced programming in standard language (DMIS) and the use of motorized heads and probe changer systems (racks), the operator only needs to place the parts and start the cycle.

What is a CMM machine and why consider a retrofit?

A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is the benchmark in dimensional metrology. Composed of a rigid structure (typically granite), air bearings and high-precision sensors, it measures the dimensions, forms and positions of any part with high accuracy, depending on the configuration and the environmental conditions. It is indispensable in climate-controlled metrology rooms, where thermal stability and the absence of vibrations ensure repeatable and traceable results for quality audits and first article validation.

When your existing CMM still has a solid mechanical structure, but the controller or software no longer keeps up with current demands, a retrofit is the smartest solution. Instead of investing in a new machine, we retain the granite and precision mechanics, replacing the electronics and software with current solutions such as Renishaw controllers and Metrologic Group's Metrolog X4. The result is a faster machine, connected and compatible with current standards, for a fraction of the investment. At S4METRO, we supply new COORD3 CMMs and perform multi-brand retrofits with local technical support in Portugal.

Retrofitting involves keeping the machine's mechanical structure (granite) and replacing only the electronics (controller, scales) and software. It pays off when the machine is mechanically stable, but the original software is obsolete, slow, or unsupported. It allows for upgrading to the industry standard, such as Metrologic Group software, for a fraction of the price of new equipment.
We integrate Renishaw's cutting-edge technology, from traditional indexable heads for point-to-point probing (touch-trigger), to high-speed continuous scanning systems (such as the SP25 or the 5-axis REVO system), which capture thousands of points per second with absolute precision.
Yes. The Metrolog X4 software we implement is natively compatible with the DMIS (Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard) language. This ensures full interoperability, allowing you to import old programmes or share inspection routines with other machines in your factory, regardless of the brand.
You should opt for a fixed CMM when inspecting series of parts that require automation, recurrent and automated measurements, and when the technical drawing demands very tight tolerances that are difficult to guarantee with portable equipment on the shop floor.
Yes, our technical team specialises in dimensional metrology and performs preventive and corrective maintenance interventions and calibrations on CMMs of various brands, ensuring compliance with the standards required by quality audits.
