CMM Software Bridge

Mediator

Run any metrology inspection software on any CMM — while keeping your existing controller, your part programs and your hardware. Two editions, one goal: freedom from OEM lock-in.

Why Mediator

One bridge between your software and your CMM

Mediator sits between your inspection software and your CMM controller, so the machine you own and the software your team knows no longer have to come from the same vendor.

No hardware retrofit

Connects to your existing CMM controller. No cable cutting, no rewiring, no controller replacement.

Keep your part programs

Your existing programs keep running. No rewriting, no revalidation of a whole library.

Save on training and licences

Teams stay on the software they already know, so you avoid retraining and duplicate licence renewals.

Lab to shop floor

The same standardised connection whether the CMM sits in a climate-controlled lab or a busy shop floor.

Two editions

Mediator Direct or Mediator I++

Both give you software freedom. The difference is how they talk to your controller — and that decides which one fits your setup.

Edition

Mediator Direct

Native controller protocol communication

Mediator Direct talks directly to your CMM controller using its native protocol. This eliminates the need for an intermediate interface, offering a seamless, zero-latency connection for specific software ecosystems.

  • Keep your existing part programs unchanged
  • Drive a non-native CMM brand with your preferred software
  • Preserve full controller-level performance
  • No extra server layer to run or maintain
Built for: PC-DMIS and MCOSMOS users on supported controller pairings.

Edition

Mediator I++

Standardised I++ DME interface

Mediator I++ uses the standardised I++ DME interface. This lets you connect virtually any I++-capable inspection software to your existing CMM, opening up complete operational flexibility.

  • Broadest compatibility — not limited to a fixed list of pairings
  • Built on the established I++ DME industry standard
  • The fully supported route for Zeiss CALYPSO today
  • Freedom to switch software without changing the machine
Runs with: PolyWorks · Calypso · Verisurf · Metrolog · Modus · Camio · TouchDMIS · Quartis · Rational-DMIS · Power Inspect · NX-CMM and practically any software with an I++ client module.
