Maestro features a digital architecture, incorporating digital sensors, a single cable system and a controller with new firmware. Together, these capabilities are said to increase throughput, streamline the complete measurement operation and ensure future-ready connectivity for modern production environments.

The Maestro CMM provides:

• Precision at speed: Maestro’s redesigned mechanical structure, single-cable digital platform, and advanced sensors enable fast measurement with sub-micron tolerances that satisfy stringent industry standards. Maestro delivers high throughput through high-speed motion while maintaining exceptional precision. Synchronized axis movements, rapid calibration and cloud-connected software significantly accelerate set-up, programming, execution and reporting.
• Simple use and programming: Maestro simplifies CMM programming and streamlines workflows with an intuitive user interface. Combining cloud-native metrology apps powered by Hexagon’s Nexus platform, the system enables both expert metrologists and less-specialized staff to generate repeatable, standard-compliant measurements without the need for coding.
• End-to-end connectivity: Designed as an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) native measuring device, Maestro integrates into Hexagon’s Nexus ecosystem, sharing real-time data across design, production and quality teams, driving data-driven decision-making and improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Near-line or in-line integration with automation systems is seamless.
• Scalable platform: With a modular design and a robust roadmap for future upgrades, Maestro is built for scalability. Manufacturers can easily update software, sensors and additional capabilities over time, enabling their investment to remain future-proof and support evolving production needs.

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 Maestro to create an integrated system that boosts productivity from part loading to analysis, compared to isolated component solutions.

Maestro will be offered initially in multiple sizes and configurations, each engineered for automated multisensor workflows using tactile probes and laser scanning probes from a “digital rack” that tracks occupancy status, sensor supply health and status that can be accessed on-device and throughout the desktop and cloud-native apps.
