The tooling industry is the backbone of modern manufacturing by providing precision tools.
Such as cutting instruments, dies, molds, punches, and forming tools to sectors including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and energy. These tools operate under extreme mechanical loads, friction, and thermal cycles, requiring exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability.
For tool manufacturers, the success of each tool — and the quality of the parts it produces — depends directly on the precision and reliability of its heat treatment. Codere SA delivers systems that ensure repeatable, controlled, and distortion-free results for high-performance tool steels.
Tooling Industry challenges
Tooling manufacturers face a unique set of constraints driven by high-performance requirements and production efficiency. Key challenges include:
- Material complexity: HSS, hot-work steels, cold-work steels, tool steels
- Dimensional stability for precision cutting and forming applications
- Surface quality and oxidation control
- High productivity and repeatable cycles
- Long tool life and cost efficiency
These factors demand advanced heat treatment systems capable of delivering both precision and consistency.
