hyperMILL 2026 Tutorial: 2D Hale Machining

The new “Hale Machining” strategy offers you a specialized machining process for component areas with high surface quality requirements. It is used, for example, to produce sealing surfaces with a scratch-free finish. For certain applications, it can also be an economical alternative to conventional milling processes. Material removal takes place without active spindle speed. The spindle axis is programmed to allow the tool edge to be continuously aligned with the contour. Programming in hyperMILL is similar to 2D Contour Machining. A special tool type is available for machining. The tool and tool holder are defined in hyperMILL TOOL Builder and must be created at the correct angle. With hyperMILL VIRTUAL Machining, you can reliably simulate and check the entire process for collisions. Benefit: Perfect surfaces without processing marks across the sealing direction. *Currently available for machines with Siemens controls. Additional controls will follow with the next software updates.
