Roundness Retrofit

Form measurement retrofit

Modernize your roundness tester without replacing precision mechanics.

A roundness & form retrofit is the most rational option when the mechanics are still valid but electronics and software are obsolete. With Roundex you get a modern, more usable and traceable system.

  • Electronics upgrade + Roundex integration on PC for profile acquisition, analysis and reporting.
  • Standardized procedures and reports: reduces variability between operators/departments.
  • Ready for traceability and quality workflows (export, database, digital reporting).

How we work

  • Technical analysis and feasibility
  • Electronics integration + interfaces
  • Roundex software setup and configuration
  • Testing, delivery and long-term support

Roundness and form measuring machines can remain mechanically accurate for many years, but become limited by obsolete electronics, outdated interfaces and software that is no longer supported or suitable for today’s requirements.

In these cases, a retrofit is often the most effective and cost-efficient solution compared to full replacement. With our kit you can keep the original mechanical structure, replacing electronics and software, and obtain a modern system that is more usable and ready for quality and traceability.

Our roundness software platform is called Roundex: a PC environment for profile acquisition and analysis, data management and report generation. On request we can also supply a dedicated PC and mechanical overhaul services.

Roundex - software interface
Roundex Software – profile acquisition, analysis and reporting on PC.
Roundex - tablet interface
Roundex Tablet – touch interface for acquisition, parameter control and reporting on tablet.

Why choose MCM Technic for roundness retrofit

Complex systems, dedicated expertise

Roundness retrofits involve acquisition, axes/probes and reporting: a structured approach, not a “quick fix”.

Roundex: analysis and reports

PC software for profile acquisition, form analysis and reporting: better usability and traceability.

Continuity and support

We manage electronics and software over time: support, adaptations and interventions to keep the machine running.

Retrofit process in 4 steps

1

System review

Brand, model, configuration (axes/probes) and measurement/analysis requirements.

2

Electronics integration

Upgraded interfaces and control, ready for modern connectivity.

3

Roundex software

Configuration, procedures, parameters and reporting on PC (dedicated PC available on request).

4

Testing & delivery

Functional tests, operational setup release and post-retrofit support.

Completed retrofits

Key benefits

Upgrade without replacing the machine

Keep the mechanics, modernize electronics and software.

Better usability and traceability

Modern interface, data management and quality reporting.

Cost-effective solution

Reduce cost and lead time compared to buying new.

Industry 4.0 ready

Database, traceability, data export and digital reporting for quality control.

One software for multiple brands

Single interface for different machines: faster training and more objective comparisons.

Process standardization

Consistent parameters and reports: fewer errors, less variability and quicker validation.

When a retrofit makes sense

Mechanics still in good condition

Precision structures that can last for many years: update the electronics and control.

Obsolete / unsupported software

Compatibility with modern systems, data management, export and quality reporting.

Reduce costs and lead time

An alternative to new equipment when full replacement is not cost-effective.

New instrument vs Retrofit

New purchase MCM Technic retrofit
High investment Targeted upgrade while keeping precision mechanics (based on model/configuration)
Procurement and installation lead time Reduced downtime with a dedicated intervention and testing
Full training from scratch Standardized procedures and reports: faster training
Software obsolescence over time Continuity: electronics and software managed and supported

*Indicative comparison: we propose the solution based on brand, model, configuration and application requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What does a roundness tester retrofit include?

The retrofit includes an electronics upgrade and the integration of Roundex software on PC or tablet. On request we can supply a dedicated PC/tablet and mechanical overhaul services.

Do you need to stop the machine for the retrofit?

It depends on the configuration and the condition of the instrument. In some cases the machine must be stopped for integration and testing.

Can the original mechanics be kept?

Yes. The retrofit is designed to keep the original mechanical structure and update the electronics and software.
