Connects any I++-capable inspection software to any major CMM controller using the open I++ DME standard.
PolyWorks, Calypso, Verisurf, Metrolog, Modus, Camio, Rational-DMIS, NX-CMM, if it has an I++ client, it works.
Your CMM stays exactly as-is. No retrofit, no rewiring, no on-site installation project.

The examples below are some of the most common Mediator deployments running across production facilities today:
Keep your existing PC-DMIS part programs and operator workflow while driving a Mitutoyo machine as if it were a Hexagon. No reprogramming, no hardware swap, no retraining.
Use PC-DMIS to drive Zeiss hardware natively, preserving Zeiss controller compensation and your existing PC-DMIS measurement plans.
Drive any Hexagon CMM from MCOSMOS as if it were a Mitutoyo machine, full part-program compatibility, no rewrites.
Use Zeiss Calypso to drive non-Zeiss hardware through the I++ interface, keeping your measurement plans intact.
Any inspection software with an I++ client module can drive any Mediator-supported controller, giving you full freedom to choose, switch, or unify your software stack.

Mediator works alongside Chameleon (plug-and-play retrofit controller) and Mapper (cross-brand error-map management) for full-stack CMM modernization.
Download and install the trial to test how Mediator connects your existing CMM controller with the inspection software of your choice. Follow the instructions after installation to receive your license key.
Mediator is a software bridge that lets CMM owners run their preferred inspection software on the CMM hardware they already own; no retrofits required. It can drive all leading CMM brands and models with practically any major inspection software, supporting tactile probes, scanning touch probes, and Kreon line laser heads.
For error maps that live in the CMM controller, Mediator transmits points after the controller has already compensated them. For error maps stored on the PC running the original CMM client software, Mediator reads the map, builds its own internal error map, and uses it to compensate the values coming from the controller.
PolyWorks, Calypso, Verisurf, Metrolog, Modus, Camio, TouchDMIS, Quartis, CM, Rational-DMIS, Power Inspect, NX-CMM (Siemens), and practically any software with an I++ client module via Mediator I++.

No. Operators continue using the inspection software they already know, PC-DMIS, MCOSMOS, Calypso, PolyWorks, or any other supported platform. The interface and workflow are identical to a native setup.
Mediator runs on a standard Windows PC alongside your inspection software. No new hardware is required.
Yes. Mediator supports tactile probes, scanning touch probes, and Kreon line laser heads.
The annual service and maintenance fee is not mandatory but is strongly recommended. Our team continuously updates Mediator to maintain compatibility with evolving CMM controllers and inspection software. The fee covers critical software updates, ongoing compatibility, and support if you run into problems. If maintenance lapses, accumulated fees must be paid retroactively to restore and update Mediator to the current version.
No. Mediator does not violate any intellectual property. It provides interoperability between machines and inspection software already in the CMM market and adds functionality on top. Mediator is already used by many CMM manufacturers, retrofitters, and end users worldwide.
