Performance Upgrade for your CMM
ZEISS RetrofitLatest technology, higher performance, more functionality, more user-friendly operation, lower repair costs: There are numerous reasons for retrofitting an older coordinate measuring machine. And best of all: It costs only a fraction of a new machine. Individual retrofit products from ZEISS give your coordinate measuring machine a second life and make it fit for the future.

How you can benefit from a retrofit
State of the art - also in the future
More complex components, shorter measuring times, huge amounts of data - the demands on coordinate measuring machines are constantly increasing. Older CMMs are now keeping pace with this - with a retrofit. An upgrade like this makes ZEISS CMMs fit for the challenges of the future.
Many options - one language
Digitalization and connectivity do not stop at measurement technology. To achieve this, your CMMs must all speak the same language. A retrofit brings older CMMs up to date - this means, for example, that uniform databases and cloud services can be used for multiple locations and devices.
Increased usability thanks to new features
Retrofit not only extends the service life. A new controller, connections for additional measuring systems and up-to-date software enable compatibility for the latest technologies. Advantage for the user: easier operation and higher productivity through more automation.
Fewer downtimes - more confidence
Over the years, it is possible that individual components of your measuring machine are subject to greater stress. A retrofit ensures that these components are back to the current series status even before they reach the end of their service life. For less downtime and fast service.
Like new, but more cost-effective
A retrofit is worthwhile: It costs no more than a third compared to a new machine. And it can help to minimize repair costs. This pays off especially if the CMM is closely integrated into the production process, where a failure can lead to high follow-up costs.
Digital services also for older measuring machines
Store data in the cloud, remote access, connecting different CMMs and protocols: What is taken for granted today was still the future 10 years ago. Retrofit from ZEISS upgrades your used CMM with the latest technologies and makes it ready for digital products such as ZEISS Smart Services.
The possibilities are almost limitless
From the update of the measuring software to the complete renewal including exchange of machine control, cabling and drive units - Retrofit offers almost unlimited possibilities to bring coordinate measuring machines back to the state of the art. Depending on the age and condition of your measuring machine, ZEISS retrofit products can be individually tailored to your needs - as individual upgrades or through smartly tailored upgrade packages from the Fit Family.
ZEISS VAST gold measuring head as sensor carrier for dynamic scanning, roughness measurement or the ZEISS Articulating Stylus.
Alternatively, the ZEISS RDS sensor carrier can be used to mount optical sensors like a camera, e.g. for elastic materials, a white light sensor for high-precision contactless measurement or a line scanner, e.g. for scanning free-form surfaces.
Prerequisite: ZEISS SensorFit
- Rotary table for extensive measurement in 4 axis without reclamping, e.g. of rotating parts*
- Automatic temperature detection on the workpiece - No more false results due to insufficient temperature detection
- Workpiece pallets with pallet changer for fast and efficient measurement in higher margins with integrated temperature measurement

Retrofit packages for all needs:
The ZEISS Fit Family
In addition to individual retrofit measures, depending on the age of the coordinate measuring machine and your requirements, three coordinated and interrelated upgrade packages are available to bring older coordinate measuring machines back up to the latest hardware and software standards. Individually adjustable options also open many additional possibilities: Use of new sensors, remote maintenance, installation of a rotary table, wireless control panel and much more.
Opties
ZEISS ConFit
The easiest upgrade for more functionality
The ZEISS ConFit package includes a firmware update as well as checks of the drives and sensor. ZEISS ConFit allows the CMM to be equipped with a rotary table, control panel and ProMax changing rack - if available for the machine. A parallel update of ZEISS CALYPSO not only ensures a faster measuring speed, but also greater ease of use.
Available for
ZEISS coordinate measuring machines manufactured from 2010 onwards.
ZEISS FutureFit
The advanced upgrade for older devicesZEISS FutureFit allows you to retrofit many additional functions. This keeps your processes cost-effective and reliable. With ZEISS FutureFit, the CMM control (C99 types) is brought up to the current series status, thus enabling simplified and efficient service. It also serves as a basis for software maintenance contracts and extended software functions and enables you to use current and future software versions.
Includes ZEISS ConFit.
Available for
ZEISS coordinate measuring machines manufactured from 2000 onwards.
ZEISS SensorFit
The performance upgrade for maximum flexibilityWith the ZEISS SensorFit retrofit package, you can bring your CMM up to date with the latest sensor technology. The new standard enables you to operate the latest sensors on your machine - optical and tactile and sensors for roughness measurement. Regardless of which sensors you choose - ZEISS SensorFit provides the basis that ensures the continued operation of your device for the future.
Includes ZEISS ConFit and ZEISS FutureFit.
Available for
ZEISS PRISMO, ZEISS CenterMax and ZEISS ACCURA with C99 controller from 2000 onwards.
