Using Jewellery Laser Fibre
In the recent years, jewellery chain manufacturers are switching to fibre lasers integrated with automatic chain making machines to produce chains as small as 0.2mm wire size. These chains are manufactured in gold wire ranging from 8K to 14K and in all types of length.
Once the gold wires are fed into the jewellery chain making machine, the machine twist and forms links to create a chain. The chain is then simultaneously welded by a fibre laser as it is produced. Fibre lasers are becoming very popular in chain production because it reduces the time taken to make a complete chain. Gold Technic has our own manufacturing facility in Singapore to process and produce Jewellery Laser Fibre. We can assemble and produce new laser fibres as well as repair damaged laser fibres.
The common Jewellery laser fibre sizes used in manufacturing range from 200 micron to 600 micron. 600 micron fibres are the most common type of Jewellery laser fibre. It is an ideal size to work with and very popular among fibre laser users.
Traditional chain Manufacturing
Jewellery laser welding is different from the traditional chain making method where the raw manufactured chain is then fed into a furnace chamber and annealed to solder the open links. In the traditional method, much skill is involved in applying the soldering powder, controlling the temperature of the furnace to ensure that the chain do not over melt. The temperature control is also important as overheated chain can turn black and it is difficult to reverse or remove the stain. This affects the aesthetic outlook of the Jewellery chain.
Whereas in the case of Jewellery laser fibre, the chain is not stained because the welding mark is almost unseen by the naked eye. The welding spot is also very accurate and there is very low possibility that the fibre laser can miss a spot.
