Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced the launch of Maestro, an all-new, next-generation coordinate measuring machine (CMM) engineered from the ground up to meet the rising productivity demands of modern manufacturing.
Designed to combat global skills shortages and increasing quality requirements, Hexagon say the Maestro sets a new standard for speed, simplicity, and digital integration in metrology.
Expanding on Hexagon’s heritage of metrology excellence, the CMM is built upon four principles: to be fast, easy to use, connected and scalable. Its digital-first architecture offers the industry rapid measurement routines, an intuitive user experience and seamless data integration. With modular software and hardware, it is designed to scale with evolving production needs, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and high-precision manufacturing environments where there is a high demand for accuracy to deliver safety, compliance, and performance.
Building on Hexagon’s extensive global metrology expertise, Maestro features a newly developed digital architecture, incorporating digital sensors, a single cable system, and a completely new controller with brand new firmware. Together, these new capabilities increase throughput, streamline the complete measurement operation, and ensure future-ready connectivity for modern production environments.
Customers will benefit from: unmatched precision at speed; industry leading throughput; simpler programming and end-to-end connectivity.
Jörg Deller, general manager stationary metrology devices at Hexagon, said: “By rethinking our hardware and software from the ground up, rather than iterating on existing systems, we’ve had the freedom to create a high-accuracy inspection solution that is so intuitive that anyone from expert to new hires become significantly more productive. Maestro’s digital backbone also makes it straightforward to integrate into modern connected factories, so stakeholders can improve quality quickly and definitively.”
Hexagon’s software tools and services such as PC-DMIS and the Metrology Mentor, Metrology Asset Manager, and Metrology Reporting Nexus Apps were developed in tandem with the Maestro CMM to create an integrated system that significantly boosts productivity from part loading to analysis, compared to isolated component solutions. The end goal is to deliver ease of use and fast workflows, from programming, execution and usage, to reporting and collaboration with colleagues in design and manufacturing.
Maestro will be offered initially in multiple sizes and configurations, each engineered for automated multi-sensor workflows utilising tactile probes and laser scanning probes that can be accessed on-device and throughout the desktop and cloud-native apps.
Maestro will be available to order from 30 June 2025. For additional specifications, demos, and pricing, contact your local Hexagon representative or visit https://hexagon.com/products/maestro
