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.
This function fits pockets optimally into the area to be rough machined. This means that as much of the area as possible is machined with linear machine movements. The machining can be carried out as a singular pocket or as a pocket in conjunction with contour-parallel toolpaths. 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.
hyperMILL® allows users to take full advantage of high feed milling cutters’ special tool 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.
