As an alternative to looking for second hand cmm machines one can also try to upgrade an older system with a powerful CMM software.

Multiple CMMs unified under a common system can result in increased measuring power and other improvements.

Equipping several CMM machines with the same CMM retrofit software results usually in less longterm costs.

If you're looking at a bench top system we recommend stainless steel ways.
