MAXXimum Speed
For the use of high feed rate cutters
Optimized pocket strategies and highly precise toolpaths for the use of high feed rate cutters: The Perfect Pocketing Technology provides added speed in a vast range of applications.
Perfect Pocketing Technology: The name says it all. This innovative technology fits pockets perfectly into the area to be machined. At the same time, it optimizes the toolpaths for high feed milling. Linear toolpaths ensure maximum feed rates for both standard and high feed rate cutters. The advantages of this technology can be seen especially in the aerospace industry and machining on large machines.

The Perfect Pocketing Technology
Details about the Perfect Pocketing technology in hyperMILL® MAXX Machining
Adaptive Pocket
This function fits pockets optimally into the area to be roughened. This means that as much of the area as possible is machined with linear machine movements. The machining can be carried out as a pocket or as a pocket in conjunction with contour-parallel toolpaths. Especially when dealing with large pockets, machining with a high feed milling cutter and subsequent rest machining gets the job done faster than contour-parallel roughing of the entire pocket.
High Feed Machining
hyperMILL® allows users to take full advantage of high feed milling cutters’ special blade geometries. The lateral infeed can be automatically calculated by defining a scallop height. Special retract movements have been implemented to avoid rest material in corners.
