The Benefits of Laser Welding Jewelry

 

Most jewelers have some expectation of how a laser welder may or may not help with their jewerly business. After a short time with a laser, many companies say that the laser does much more than they originally thought it would. With the right machine and the right training, most jewelers will see a dramatic change in time and money spent on this new process.

Below is a short list of the benefits of laser welding:

  • Eliminates the need for solder materials
  • No more concerns about karat or color matching
  • Firescale and pickling are eliminated
  • Provide pinpoint accuracy for neat, clean laser welded joints
  • Laser weld spot diameter ranges from 0,05mm - 2,00mm
  • Optimal Output Pulse Shaping
  • Localized heat allows for “multi-pulsing” without damaging previous work
  • Small, mobile, powerful and easy to operate
  • Compact, self-contained water cooling system

“We got our LaserStar Laser Welding Machine in August, and we love it. I don’t know how we got along without it before. It amazes us every day. Some of the basic jobs we use it for are laser welding sets together, chain repair, retipping prongs and crowns, and the repair of costume jewelry. It was a big investment but what a time saver.

If you do a lot of jewelry design and jewelry repair work, I highly recommend the LaserStar Laser Welding Machine.”
