Hexagon launches MAESTRO coordinate measuring machine - Engineering.com

Industry News

Enables intuitive operation for all skill levels through simplified workflows and cloud-powered software.

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has launched MAESTRO, a new coordinate measuring machine (CMM) designed to support faster, connected measurement workflows in manufacturing. Developed to address workforce challenges and growing quality expectations, MAESTRO emphasizes speed, ease of use, and integration with digital systems.Building on Hexagon’s metrology background, MAESTRO is based on four core principles: speed, ease of use, connectivity, and scalability. Its digital architecture supports efficient measurement routines, a straightforward user interface, and integrated data handling. With modular software and hardware, it is designed to adapt to changing production needs in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and high-precision manufacturing, where accuracy is essential for meeting safety and compliance standards.MAESTRO builds on Hexagon’s metrology experience and introduces a new digital architecture with updated sensors, a single-cable system, and a redesigned controller with new firmware. These features are intended to improve measurement workflows, increase efficiency, and support connectivity in current production environments.

Customers will benefit from:

Pilot users have reported improved productivity and shorter inspection lead times, which support more efficient production processes. Tests with a range of sensors—from high-speed laser scanners to tactile probes—have shown consistent performance in both research and production settings.

Hexagon’s software tools and services—including PC-DMIS, Metrology Mentor, Metrology Asset Manager, and Metrology Reporting Nexus Apps—were developed alongside MAESTRO to form an integrated system. This approach is intended to improve workflow efficiency from part loading to analysis, and to support ease of use throughout programming, execution, reporting, and collaboration across design and manufacturing teams.

MAESTRO will initially be available in various sizes and configurations, designed to support automated multi-sensor workflows using tactile and laser scanning probes. A new “digital rack” monitors probe availability and condition, with status accessible on the device as well as through desktop and cloud-based applications. Future models and updates will build on this unified platform.

MAESTRO will be available for order from June 30, 2025.
