Mediator Direct

Connect directly.
No server required.

Run PC-DMIS, MCOSMOS, CMM Manager, and more on your CMM controller — without installing and maintaining an I++ server.

Direct vs I++ Server
The server in the middle — is it still necessary?

Mediator I++ has served thousands of installations. Mediator Direct removes the middle layer where possible, cutting complexity without cutting capability.

Why Mediator Direct
What you gain by removing the server

Mediator Direct is not just a simpler architecture — it changes what your team can do and what you no longer have to buy.

📋

Keep all existing part programs

No need to rewrite measurement routines. Your programs run as-is on the new connection.

💸

No I++ client software to purchase

Skip the separate I++ client license your software vendor would otherwise charge for. Mediator Direct connects natively.

🖥

One interface for everything

Full native control of your CMM controller from within the inspection software. No switching between two user interfaces during measurement.

Faster setup, simpler daily workflow

Less to configure, less to maintain. Your operators spend time measuring — not troubleshooting a server connection.

🔄

A standard Renishaw UCC becomes an equal replacement for your CMM OEM controller

Whether buying a new CMM or retrofitting an existing one, a Renishaw UCC — combined with Mediator Direct — gives full software compatibility without OEM lock-in. A cost-effective path for new installations and upgrades alike.

How it works
One installer. Select your setup inside.

Mediator Direct ships as a single installer. Choose your CMM software and controller during setup — no separate downloads, no version hunting.

1

Run the installer

One installer covers most software and controller combinations. Select yours from the list during setup. Some machine-specific setups use a dedicated edition.

2

Select and activate

Choose your software and controller from the installer menu. Enter your license key. No server process, no network configuration, no IT involvement.

3

Run normally

Your CMM software talks directly to the controller. No workflow changes for your metrology team.

Specialized editions
Some setups need their own edition

Some machine-specific configurations require a dedicated installer — purpose-built for their unique architecture.
