1. Step-by-Step Operating Procedure
1.1 Pre-Operation Checks
Before using the jewelry laser welding machine, perform the following checks:
- Power Supply: Ensure stable connection with correct voltage (typically 220V±10%).
- Machine Components: Inspect the laser generator, cooling system, control panel, etc.
- Cooling System: Check coolant level—refill with specialized coolant if low.
1.2 Power On & Parameter Settings
- Turn on the machine and wait for self-check completion (indicator lights will show status).
- Set welding parameters based on material:
Material | Laser Power (W) | Pulse Width (ms) | Frequency (Hz) |
---|---|---|---|
Gold | 30 – 50 | 1 – 3 | 10 – 20 |
Platinum | 40 – 60 | 1 – 3 (adjustable) | 10 – 20 (adjustable) |
1.3 Welding Process
- Secure the jewelry on the workbench to prevent movement.
- Adjust the laser head position for precise focus (±0.1mm tolerance).
- Press start, monitor the weld, and fine-tune parameters if needed.
- After welding, power off and allow the machine to cool before removing jewelry.
2. Safety & Maintenance Guidelines
2.1 Safety Protocols
⚠ Critical Rules:
- Only trained operators may use the machine.
- Wear laser safety goggles to protect eyes from irreversible damage.
- Never expose skin to the laser beam—risk of severe burns.
- Regularly inspect safety features (e.g., emergency stop, protective cover).
2.2 Cooling System Care
Key Points:
- Replace coolant every 3 months (or immediately if discolored).
- Check water pump functionality to prevent overheating.
2.3 Storage & Cleaning
Best Practices:
- Store in a dry, ventilated area away from dust/moisture.
- Clean surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Optical components (e.g., lenses): Use only approved cleaning tools/solutions.
3. Summary
Proper operation + Routine maintenance = Consistent welds & extended machine life
Test settings on scrap metal when working with new materials (e.g., silver, titanium).
Pro Tip: Keep a logbook to track parameter adjustments for different jewelry types!
