Lasered embossing dies metal and carbide
Downtime up, costs down
For you we manufacture µm-precise lasered embossing dies
Millions of strokes per day put a strain on mold components such as embossing punches or dies. Wouldn't it be good to significantly increase their service life? Well-known companies in the embossing and stamping technology industry rely on our expertise as a supplier: We use ultrashort pulse laser technology to manufacture your embossing dies quickly and reproducibly - on the same day if you are in a hurry.
Our partner in ultra-short pulse laser processing
Added value for your embossing dies
With the help of HAILTEC's ultra-short pulse laser processing, you minimize your machine downtime, save costs and shorten your production time. You obtain surface qualities down to Ra 0.1 µm - and avoid the disadvantages of die-sinking EDM (see table below).
All advantages at a glance
Die-sinking EDM
vs. ultra-short pulse laser machining
Die-sinking EDM has long been the standard for introducing embossing contours into carbide tools. In comparison, the ultrashort pulse laser technology scores: The electrode production is omitted, which makes the manufacturing easier and more precise. This is because neither wearing electrodes nor a rougher surface finish (due to die-sinking erosion) affect the carbide surface.
| Advantages | Ultra-short pulse laser | Die-sinking EDM |
|---|---|---|
| Residual compressive stresses counteract the formation of cracks | ||
| Cold material removal prevents, among other things, melting zone on the surface ("white layer") | ||
| Shortened process time (no electrode production necessary) | ||
| Reproducible results | ||
| Surface finish up to Ra 0.1 µm | ||
| High-precision cavities with flank angle up to 10°. | ||
| Inside corner radii up to 0.03 mm | ||
| Opens up freedom of material and geometry |
Ultra-short pulse laser technology increases the service life of your embossing dies by a factor of up to 10
CERATIZIT & HAILTEC: Whitepaper

How to score with ultra-short pulse laser technology from HAILTEC
Plus points for your embossing and die cutting technology
More speed and quality
Thanks to "cold" laser processing, we manufacture your embossing dies particularly quickly and precisely: On precision machines from DMG MORI and TRUMPF with Tolerances of +/- 0.005 mm.
Molds directly from 3D model
Your molds, dies, bending punches or cavities are created with the UKP laser directly from the 3D model - in just one clamping and without any acting machining forces.
Reproducible parts
The UKP laser works reproducibly with repeatable process parameters, so that one stamp is exactly like another. Even complex 3D shapes can be realized Laser in finished part quality.
Tool breakage? Immediate service!
Stamp breakage and your machine is at a standstill? In emergencies we manufacture replacements as an express service - depending on the urgency as a Express or immediate service.

Frequently asked questions about embossing dies
What added value does ultrashort pulse laser technology bring to your embossing and punching technology?
As a manufacturer of progressive dies, you want to avoid machine downtime and thus save costs. This is where we come in: With the help of ultrashort pulse laser technology, we give your stamping dies a significantly longer service life.
How does the UKP laser increase the service life of your embossing dies?
Millions of strokes per day are a stress test for wear-intensive tool components such as embossing punches for press-fit zones, connectors or micro-number embossers. In a joint test series with carbide manufacturer CERATIZIT Empfingen we were able to demonstrate: Ultra-short pulse laser machining gives embossing punches a service life that is up to a factor of 10 longer than that of die-sinking EDM.
