TRANSFORMING quality inspection with high-speed, connected measurement workflows, Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has unveiled MAESTRO, an all-new, next-generation coordinate measuring machine (CMM) engineered from the ground up to meet today’s s rising productivity demands of modern manufacturing.
Designed to combat global skills shortages and increasing quality requirements, MAESTRO sets a new standard for speed, simplicity and digital integration in metrology.
Expanding on Hexagon’s heritage of metrology excellence, MAESTRO 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.
Customers will benefit from:
- Unmatched precision at speed: MAESTRO’s re-designed mechanical structure, single-cable digital platform and advanced sensors enable fast measurement with sub-micron tolerances that satisfy stringent industry standards.
- Breakthrough speed: MAESTRO’s synchronised axis movements, rapid calibration and cloud-connected software significantly accelerate set-up, programming, execution and reporting.
- Simpler use and programming: MAESTRO re-masters quality inspection by simplifying CMM programming and streamlining workflows.
- End-to-end connectivity: Designed as an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) native measuring device, MAESTRO integrates into Hexagon’s Nexus ecosystem by sharing real-time data across design, production and quality teams with data-driven decision-making.
- Scalable platform: With a modular design and a robust roadmap for future upgrades, manufacturers can easily update software, sensors and additional capabilities over time, thus ensuring that their investment remains future-proof and continuously supports evolving production needs.
“Manufacturers told us they needed a next-generation system that tackles rising quality demands and skills shortages,” commented Hexagon’s general manager (stationary metrology devices) Jörg Deller.
“Meeting the needs of industry head-on, MAESTRO’s digital backbone makes it straightforward to integrate into modern connected factories so stakeholders can improve quality quickly and definitively.”
Pilot MAESTRO’s users have thus far reported dramatic productivity gains and reduced inspection lead times, hence avoiding production bottlenecks and to keep pace with fast-changing customer requirements.
MAESTRO will be available for order from June 30. – May 9,2025
