“There’s no better method for removing high chip volumes in such a short amount of time. It demonstrates yet another example of the superiority of 5‑axis simultaneous machining for such a seemingly simple task.”

Dr. Josef Koch
CTO OPEN MIND Technologies AG

The drilling module

Details about the drilling module in hyperMILL® MAXX Machining

Lead angle

In contrast to conventional 3D machining, a lead angle allows for use of milling tools that are not centre cutting.

Automatic pitch adjustment

In the event of a collision, this function auto­matically adjusts the pitch until collision-free machining is ensured.
