ZEISS FutureFit makes your ZEISS CMM controller state-of-the-art again
The advanced upgrade for older devices.
ZEISS FutureFit allows you to prepare your CMM for many additional functions. This keeps your processes cost-effective andreliable. With ZEISS FutureFit, the CMM control (C99 types) is brought 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 andenables you to use current and future software versions.
Available for ZEISS coordinate measuring machines manufactured from 2000 onwards.

What? Controller Retrofit Package
Within the ZEISS FutureFit package, the existing controller technology is replaced by a state-of-the-art controller and new
peripheral devices* like Slave Processor, Temperature Unit or Joystick Box. That way, a completely tested and released
combination of all components is provided, which contains controller hardware and firmware.
Including Up-to-date Firmware (ZEISS ConFit)
The retrofit also provides an upload of latest Firmware to the controller and peripheral devices. Thus, the CMM is ready to
be connected to ZEISS Smart Services. Where applicable, also the wiring for ID-Chip recognition will be supplied to enable
ID functionality.
*Devices may differ depending on CMM type.

Where? Fields of Application
Software Upgrade
When software must be brought tocurrent level

SMA
Software Maintenance Agreement –When software must be updated regularly

Additional Software
When new applications require newmeasuring methods

Additional hardware
When new applications require additional
hardware functionality• To add additional software modules• To be compatible to other CMMs
• To use new software functions• To get Hotline support• To always have new software
functions at hand
• To obtain all bug-fixes• To have preferred hotline access• To be compatible among all CMMs

• New parts like Gears or Blades• New hardware like Rotary Table• New sensors like optics for freeform• Rotary Table for Gears or Blades• Optical Sensors for plastics or elastic parts• Wireless joystick box for better mobility ofthe user
• ID recognition for safer probe handling

Who? Target GroupCustomers with a ZEISS CMM having old C99 controller technology.
Why? Functionalities•ZEISS FutureFit is the basis
for SMA software maintenance, extended software functions or additional software packages.

•ZEISS FutureFit is the prerequisite
for hardware extensions on “older” CMMs, e.g. sensors, rotary-table,wireless joystick etc.

•ZEISS FutureFit delivers state-of-the-art controller technology
proven and released compatibility to actual and future software versions.

•ZEISS FutureFit enables ZEISS Software Hotline
older CMMs are tested to ensure functional interaction between CMM controller and measuring softwareand thus enabling a competent hotline support.

•ZEISS FutureFit is essential for ensuring readiness to use digital services
such as ZEISS Smart Services.

Reasons to invest

4

Invest once: And avoid the doubts, if your CMM is all set to receive next software upgrade.
One time investment – and no more headache for the next 5-10 years.
Secure process: Make your CMM controller state of the art to follow your measuringsoftware upgrade process by SMA smoothly.
Readiness: Upcoming new challenges in the application are not a threat to your workflow.
Latest controller hardware is ready and all set to receive new software versions andfunctionalities any time.
Digital: The world of digital services is available. Remote Health Check, Remote Expert among others - with ZEISS FutureFit installed, these services can be booked and hooked up
without further modifications.

Added Customer Value through Resource Efficiency
Resource conservation through extended lifetime
By retrofitting the CMM, which is up to 20 years old, we extend its lifetime by a minimum of 5 -10 years. This means:the heavy granite blocks as well as the steel base frame do not need to be manufactured for a new CMM - and much more
important - do not need to be transported. Thus, several tons of CO2 can be saved per retrofit by extending the lifetime of
the measuring machine.
Get the Award
Customers with internal processes to reduce CO2 footprint or programs to participate in sustainable actions might get accessto budgets from these activities. This is a new form to finance the investment for retrofit and get awarded for participationin environmental programs.
