MAXXimum Drilling
Innovative drilling module
The task: To remove as much material as possible from a circular pocket in an efficient and tool-friendly manner.
The solution: 5‑axis helical drilling using our innovative drilling module.
“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.”

Advantages
- Fast and efficient plunging, especially for tough workpieces
- Excellent for opening deep cavities using large milling heads
- No predrilling necessary
- Gentle on tools
- Safe removal of shavings, even in deep drill holes
- Simple programming
- Also suitable for milling tools that are not center cutting
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.
