In the jewelry industry, traditional processing methods are characterized by long production cycles and limited technical capabilities. In contrast, laser processing technology offers significant advantages. The main applications of laser processing technology in the jewelry industry are laser cutting, laser welding, laser surface treatment, laser cleaning and laser chillers.
In the jewelry industry, traditional processing methods are characterized by long production cycles and limited technical capabilities. In contrast, laser processing technology offers significant advantages. Let's explore the applications of laser processing technology in the jewelry industry.
1. Laser Cutting
In jewelry manufacturing, laser cutting is employed to create various metal jewelry items such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more. Additionally, laser cutting can be used for non-metallic jewelry materials like glass and crystal. Laser cutting enables precise control over cutting locations and shapes, reducing waste and repetitive labor, thus enhancing production efficiency.
2. Laser Welding
Laser welding plays a crucial role in jewelry production, particularly for joining metal materials. By directing a high-energy laser beam, metal materials are rapidly melted and fused together. The small heat-affected zone in laser welding allows for precise control over welding locations and shapes, enabling high-precision welding and customization of intricate patterns. Compared to traditional welding techniques, laser welding offers faster speeds, higher precision, and greater stability.
Furthermore, laser welding can also be utilized for jewelry repairs and gemstone settings. Using laser welding technology, damaged parts of jewelry can be quickly and accurately repaired, while also achieving high-precision gemstone setting.
3. Laser Surface Treatment
Laser surface treatment encompasses various techniques such as laser marking, laser etching, and laser engraving, which employ the high-energy beam of laser to modify the surface of materials. Through laser surface treatment technology, intricate markings and patterns can be created on the surfaces of metal materials. This can be applied to jewelry for anti-counterfeiting labels, branding, product series identification, and more, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and artistic quality of the jewelry.
4. Laser Cleaning
In jewelry manufacturing, laser cleaning technology can be used for cleaning both metal materials and gemstones. For metal materials, laser cleaning can remove surface oxidation and dirt, restoring the original shine and purity of the metal. For gemstones, laser cleaning can eliminate impurities and inclusions on the surface, improving their transparency and brilliance. Moreover, laser cleaning can also be employed for jewelry repair and rejuvenation, effectively removing traces and imperfections from the metal surface, thus adding new decorative effects to the jewelry.
During the operation of laser equipment, the generation of high-energy laser beams results in the emission of a significant amount of heat from the equipment itself. If this heat is not promptly dissipated and controlled, it may have adverse effects on the performance and stability of the laser equipment. Therefore, to ensure the smooth operation of laser equipment and enhance production efficiency, it is necessary to install laser chillers for cooling.
Specializing in laser chillers for over 21 years, Teyu has developed more than 120 water chiller models suitable for over 100 manufacturing and processing industries. These laser cooling systems offer cooling capacities ranging from 600W to 41000W, with temperature control precision ranging from ±0.1°C to ±1°C. They provide cooling support for various jewelry manufacturing and processing equipment, such as laser cutting machines, laser welding machines, laser marking machines, and laser cleaning machines, thereby improving the efficiency and extending the lifespan of jewelry manufacturing and processing equipment.
