CMM Modernisation through industrial retrofit
// CMM Retrofit

Retrofit of CMM machines

Give new life to your old machine. We update electronics, controllers and measuring software, modernising your equipment for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

A retrofit modernises an existing CMM: it keeps the mechanical structure and replaces the software, controller, electronics or sensors that have become obsolete. S4METRO carries out multi-brand retrofits with Metrolog X4 software and Renishaw, Metrologic Group and COORD3 hardware.

// Assessment

When it makes sense

  • The structure is in good condition, but the software or controller is no longer supported.
  • Spare parts for the original electronics are no longer available.
  • You need offline programming, to work with CAD models or to use new sensors.
  • Investing in a new CMM is not justified for the measurement volume.

If the structure is damaged or badly worn, a retrofit may not be worthwhile; an on-site assessment will tell.

// Retrofit SolutionsSoftware + Hardware
Metrologic Group

Software Retrofit

Replace obsolete software with a modern platform, ready for digital inspection, offline programming, and integration with the shop floor.

  • Installation of Metrolog X4 with a modern interface and advanced functionalities.
  • Migration of programs and historical machine data.
  • Team training on the new measurement software.
Renishaw

Hardware Retrofit

Upgrade controllers, electronics, and sensors to restore reliability and expand your CMM's metrological capabilities.

  • Renishaw controllers for probes and heads.
  • Electronics and motors compatible with Coord3 and Metrologic Group.
  • Multisensor sensors, cameras and automatic change systems.
// Multi-brand Coverage

We work with the leading brands in the market

Wenzel/Pantek, Hexagon, Zeiss, Deva, Renishaw and COORD3. Our multi-brand experience allows you to choose the best upgrade for your machine, regardless of the original manufacturer.

// Process

How it works

  1. 01

    On-site assessment of the machine: mechanical condition, controller, sensors and software.

  2. 02

    A proposal setting out what is replaced and what is kept.

  3. 03

    Installation of the new controller, electronics and sensors.

  4. 04

    Installation of Metrolog X4 and migration of the machine's programs and historical data.

  5. 05

    Final validation and team training on the new software.
