CMM software
Xspect offer a comprehensive range of CMM Software Upgrades and CMM Retrofits to allow your existing metrology equipment to be enhanced with 'edge of the art' software capabilities while improving significantly usability. The Xspect Service Group has a depth of experience in all CMM brands ensuring engineering integrity and providing total customer confidence. The Xspect Group have retrofitted every brand; model and type of CMM ever produced providing a complete database of cost effective and fully engineered solutions. With combined error correction systems CMM accuracy can be improved, in some cases, to a better than originally supplied specification.

DCC CMM retrofits
The CMM structure was designed by its original manufacturer as an integral matched system of scales, drives, motors and safety systems. An Xspect Solutions CNC CMM retrofit leaves the structure and systems integrity intact due to the inherent flexibility engineered into the Xspect technological solution. Most competitors do not have the flexibility of an Xspect retrofit solution and change scales, motors, and in some cases complete drive systems increasing costs and the inherent risk of the retrofit and leaving the original system integrity in question.

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 SP600 Analogue Scanning Probes. The compact servo chassis allows a complete DCC retrofit to be completed in a few short days minimizing CMM down-time. No controller cards are located inside the PC allowing PC upgrades at any time without having to contend with PC-BUS obsolescence – an all too frequent reality of the pace of PC technological innovation.

The Teach Box has function keys, many of which are programmable, and allow software access directly from the box. Including using the use of the Joystick as a remote mouse. Part coordinates joy sticking, axis reversal, axis locks, indexing head and speed control are just some of its integrated functions.

Retrofit advantages
A CMM does not endure the stresses and strains of other machine tools and as a consequence the CMM structure can be given a significant life extension with the application of an Xspect Solutions 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.
