Laser Cutting Monograms from Precious Alloys

 

Name cut out pendants come in a variety of metals. Whether the customer chooses gold, silver, brass, copper, stainless steel or tungsten, laser cutting remains the most accurate method of creating the name. The range of options means this is a trend that isn’t exclusive to women; men typically prefer heavier metals and a bolder font, and jewelers generally try to accommodate all preferences. Stainless steel, for example, is popular with men because it has a slightly more casual feel about it, and laser cutting works better on the metal than any other fabrication method does.

 

Fiber Laser Marking Systems

 

Laser cutting is done using advanced laser marking machines. Of the many different types of laser marking machines, the better choice for laser cutting is a fiber laser marking machine. These marking machines have higher consistent power than other types of laser marking systems available and are ideal for cutting thin metals such as those used for making jewelry, as opposed to heavier metals used in industrial environments. The fiber laser marking equipment uses a laser beam delivered in short pulses, which gives quality ablation and annealing. A clean, environmentally-friendly process, a fiber laser marking system uses no consumables and needs very little maintenance. The machinery is compact with a small footprint, and this makes it easy to install them in any location.

Jewelers looking for new items to add to their product line would do well to consider introducing name cut outs and monograms in a variety of designs and metals. By purchasing fiber laser marking machinery they can provide custom designs for customers, and the equipment also has other uses for jewelry marking, engraving and identification.
