Perfectly designed spindle systems and shrinking devices perfectly round off the range as useful supplements. Close cooperation with leading machine and control manufacturers in the milling technology sector is another guarantee that our tooling systems always harmonise perfectly with the latest technologies. Through our own development and manufacturing, all products are ideally matched to each other and can be compiled into more than 500,000 options. That makes the Pokolm product range the best-possible combination for any application. Supplementation with competent consulting by our technical field service, first class service, a comprehensive range of accessories and training courses for our customers in the Pokolm Academy creates a unique, full-service concept. 4
EFFICIENCY FOR HIGHER PROFITABILITY We develop comprehensive concepts and solutions for specific customer problems and tasks. At the same time, our technical field service is the key to the success of the customer. Our field service has extensive, up-to-date expertise and it has mastered the latest milling strategies. Moreover, it understands the typical needs of the many different sectors. Milling strategy consulting Here the focus is placed on the customer's concrete process application. Our application engineers are trained in how to develop a tool and volume optimized solution that goes easy on the machines. The end result is the perfect milling strategy for every single customer-specific requirement. Process optimization During process optimization, we consider the entire manufacturing process of the customer, analyse existing processes, discover opportunities for optimization and develop new approaches. After all, holding your own in today's market is only possible with creative, highly developed manufacturing processes.

A success story milestones in milling technology Many Pokolm innovations, nowadays considered the standard in milling technology, have decisively shaped their evolution. For instance the introduction of milling cutter bodies and inserts in metric dimensions, while common today, has considerably simplified the calculation of relevant values. In addition, the embedded insert seat, which has in the meantime become the standard, is a design characteristic that is attributable to the innovative power of Pokolm Frästechnik. The patented DuoPlug system is considered the industry's perfect shrink/thread connection between the tool and the arbor, with high concentricity and significantly increased retention forces. One current milestone in milling technology is the SPINWORX time-saving tooling system with self-rotating inserts. With our potential, our team spirit and our endurance, we will continue to set milestones in milling technology and will look forward to the challenges of the future. 5 x 1,50 Milling cutter bodies and inserts in metric sizes Embedded insert seat DuoPlug Shrink-/Thread-connection Spinworx Time-saving tooling system with self rotating-inserts Certified quality We meet the high demand we place on the permanently outstanding quality of our products with a continuous quality management system that covers every company division without exception. We have been certified in accordance with DIN ISO 9000ff since 1996 and have continued to develop our quality system over and beyond its scope. 6
