Project examples from the TechCenter

  • There are four aircraft tires at the base of an aircraft, which are connected to each other by a red bar called the bogie beam.
  • A hedgehog cutter from the Squareworx® series by Pokolm.

8B8: New round insert for titanium alloys

Pokolm's TechCenter recently supported the production of a bogie beam, among other things. The landing gear of large aircraft carries the entire weight of the aircraft during takeoff, landing, and taxiing, and absorbs shocks. Lightweight titanium alloys offer high strength for this component, but are difficult to machine. The selection of an ideal milling strategy for these demanding manufacturing tasks resulted in a new 8B8 indexable insert for the highly productive, time-saving Spinworx® milling system.

Squareworx® expanded to include helical shell mills

Pokolm meets the increasing demands of the market with continuous improvements. The exchange of experience with customers is particularly valuable for the development of economical and efficient solutions. The TechCenter is constantly working to find innovative approaches to complex challenges and to test new milling technologies. The latest development for machining high-strength titanium alloys is the addition of a helical shell mill series to the Squareworx® product families.
