Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has launched Maestro, an all-new, next-generation 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 says that Maestro sets a new standard for speed, simplicity and digital integration.
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. With modular software and hardware, it is designed to scale with evolving production needs, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive and high-precision manufacturing environments where there is a high demand for accuracy to deliver safety, compliance and performance.
The CMM’s newly-developed digital architecture incorporates digital sensors, a single cable system and a completely new controller. Together, these capabilities increase throughput, streamline the complete measurement operation and ensure future-ready connectivity for modern production environments.
According to Hexagon, Maestro delivers industry-leading throughput through high-speed motion while maintaining exceptional precision. Synchronised axis movements, rapid calibration and cloud-connected software significantly accelerate set-up, programming, execution and reporting.
“Manufacturers told us they needed a next-generation system that tackles rising quality demands and skills shortages,” says Jörg Deller, general manager of stationary metrology devices at Hexagon. “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 which is so intuitive that anyone from experts to new hires become significantly more productive.”
Pilot users report dramatic productivity gains and reduced inspection lead times, helping to avoid production bottlenecks and to keep pace with fast-changing customer requirements.
