About PCM ProfiCUT Messertechnik
PCM ProfiCUT Messertechnik GmbH was founded in Solingen in 1992 and, with around 25 employees, manufactures machine knives, precision parts, guide bars, wear parts and machine components. Originally started as a pure machine knife manufacturer, over the years the company has entered numerous other industries and applications, including automotive, energy and fuel cell technology. The entire value chain – from concept and development through manufacturing to quality control – takes place in-house. The machine park comprises 25 CNC-controlled profile and surface grinding machines, segment grinding machines, 3- and 5-axis milling machines as well as special-purpose machines. An attached hardening shop treats medium- and high-alloyed materials. In addition to complete manufacturing, PCM offers contract work such as precision grinding, milling, hardening, straightening and coating, also using customer material. Tolerances in the range of 0.01 mm and below are maintained according to customer requirements.

Materials and Processes
Cold work steel
Wear-resistant material for machine knives, guide bars and wear parts.
Hot work steel
For components subject to thermal stress, among others from the heat treatment sector, processed in-house.
High-alloyed tool steel
High toughness and wear resistance for demanding precision parts.
High-speed steel
For cutting geometries with long tool life.
Stainless steel
For applications with corrosion requirements, e.g. in the food industry.
Powder-metallurgically produced special grades
Special materials for the highest requirements in wear resistance and tolerances.
3- and 5-axis milling
Contour-accurate machining of blanks and contract material.
Profile, surface and segment grinding
Precision grinding with tolerances in the 0.01 mm or µm range.
Hardening in belt furnace systems
Attached hardening shop for medium- and high-alloyed materials, treated according to application.
Coating
Surface finishing of the manufactured components.
