Heat Treat

Laser hardening has gained significant traction in the United States, becoming a favored method among OEMs and smaller tool and die makers. Each die is unique, requiring the laser to follow precise paths at specific angles and orientations to ensure quality. Robots are commonly used for this process due to their flexibility. This article explores two primary methods of robotic programming used in laser hardening operations and highlights the advantages of one approach over the other.

High precision press brake tools are essential for the metalworking industry, providing the necessary precision and durability for bending and shaping sheet metal. These tools are crafted from a variety of materials, including 4140, 4130, S7, A2, and D2 steels, each known for their unique properties and performance characteristics. However, hardening these tools presents significant

In the competitive landscape of manufacturing, efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness reign supreme. At Synergy, we understand the challenges faced by die makers in delivering high-performance trim dies while managing costs and turnaround times. That's why we've harnessed the power of laser heat treating to revolutionize the industry, offering unparalleled benefits that elevate trim die manufacturing

In trim die build, where precision, efficiency, and quality are paramount, the adoption of laser heat treating represents a significant leap forward. This cutting-edge technology not only cut costs and turnaround times but also ensures unparalleled consistency and durability of trim dies. Traditional heat treatment processes for upper and lower trim dies have long relied

  In the automotive industry, trim inserts play a crucial role in the production of sheet metal stampings. Trim steels are used to trim the metal sheets after forming operation. To ensure that the trim inserts are strong and durable, they must be heat treated to withstand high shear and fatigue loads. Traditionally, trim inserts
