CNC Measuring Machine Modernisation - Retrofit
Gear, Hob or tool checking machines
Retrofitting is a reasonable and cost-effective investment compared to buying new.
Older measuring machines are often still mechanically in good condition, but the problem is that spare parts are no longer available.
We modernise your CNC measuring machine with the latest Siemens CNC system for X, Y, Z, T and C axes. The complete control cabinet with all electronic components and wiring is replaced. All motor power and signal cables are replaced. All glass scales for X, Y, Z and T with C axis encoders are replaced with Heidenhain or Renishaw measuring systems. The original probe is replaced with a high accuracy Renishaw SP80H standard probe. The powerful measuring CPU and evaluation software under Windows 11 were developed in-house by dpag.
All axes are checked and overhauled if necessary.
Calibration and verification
Calibration of the scanning probe using non-linear optimisation polynomial functions on a reference sphere with factory certificate. Calibration of the machine using a test mandrel. Verification on gear standards.
The new system on your proven and robust base machine offers high accuracy and repeatability as well as outstanding reliability over many years. The use of standard components such as Siemens, Heidenhain and Renishaw simplifies maintenance.
Examples of base machines:

Retrofit:
- Cost Savings: A retrofit is generally more cost-effective than purchasing a new machine. Modernizing existing machines can save significant investment costs.
- Extended Lifespan: By modernizing and adapting old machines, they can continue to be used efficiently, delaying the need for an expensive new purchase.
- Increased Productivity: A retrofit can enhance the efficiency and productivity of the machine by integrating modern technologies and automation.
- Reduced Downtime: Updating and maintaining the machines can reduce downtime and increase reliability.
- Compliance with Regulations: A retrofit can ensure that the machines meet current legal and safety requirements.
- Sustainability: Modernizing existing machines is more environmentally friendly as it conserves resources and reduces waste generated by disposing of old machines.
- Integration into Modern IT Environments: A retrofit allows the integration of machines into modern IT and Industry 4.0 environments, improving the monitoring and control of the machines.
