Retrofitting measuring machines has become very popular in the recent years because it restores full performances to a measuring machine. Only its electronic and software capabilities don't reach any longer the level required on today's market.
A retrofitting provides therefore an immense technical and financial benefit.
Wenzel & Prime Technologies are, in this field & over 20 years of experience we retrofitted hundreds of measuring machines, CMM - Retrofits - Upgrades - Software etc.
Many co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) in use today are in perfectly good mechanical condition, but the electronics and software capabilities no longer match the standards required in today's high technology and competitive markets. A CMM retrofit can restore any machine back to full performance, with the guarantee of more cost effective operation and greater measuring capabilities.
We can retrofit ANY make or model of CMM, either manual or DCC, plus any configuration including bridge, gantry, horizontal arm, single and twin arm, portable arm, laser tracker, layout machine, etc. We can also interface directly to a range of measuring machines including Zeiss, Starrett, Mitutoyo, Brown and Sharpe, DEA, Johansson, Stiefelmayer, Wenzel, etc.
Wenzel & Prime Technologies offers State of the Art software solutions for all of your measuring needs. Whether it is CAD based CMM programming, high speed scanning, shop floor CMM simplified user interface or SPC we can help.
Prime Technologies wants to be your preferred supplier of :
The Controller at the heart of a CMM upgrade offers significant improved CMM productivity and provides the unique scanning capabilities obtained with the Renishaw, SP25 and SP80 Analogue Scanning Probes.
Retrofitting can include some or all of the following: Replacement of electronics (scales, controller, amplifiers ...), Updating control software, Probing device, CMM calibration, Geometry compensation by error-mapping...
Retrofit advantages:
A CMM does not go through the stresses of other machine tools during its working life and as a consequence the CMM structure can be given a significant life extension with the application of an Wenzel + Prime CMM Retrofit. In fact 'good as new' is not an understatement, many older CMMs were produced mechanically accurate and not software error mapped to achieve accuracy like most of today's replacement CMM machines.

DCC Retrofits and Upgrades:
Prime Technologies can up-grade your CMM with a new Wenzel Controller and METROMEC software. The controller is suitable for both original equipment and retrofit installations. Most retrofits will utilize the original drive system and scales saving thousands over a complete rebuild. The system can be installed with minimal downtime. METROMEC software also has the capability of error correction which in most installations would improve the accuracy of the CMM.
Enclose herewith Retrofit proposal form. Kindly give us feedback for existing CMM you have and which needs retrofit.
Also kindly let us know if you need any new CMM.
