WeLase in Jewelry
Rotary device
Upgrade your WeLase to offer engraving of cylindrical objects!
Rings, bracelets, jewellery, enhance your personalisation offer with engravings both on the outside and inside of the rings.
The rotary device is an essential element in the jewellers’ world.
Wobbling cutting mode
Expand your creative possibilities with our new wobbling cutting method. This spiral cutting mode improves the focus of the laser beam to cut more efficiently or thicker.
Pin table
With the cutting pin table, raise your material by 2 cm. This creates an air flow underneath the plate during cutting and prevents the material from overheating.
You will avoid deformations of the material due to the heat, beam returns on the underside of the plate or colour degradation.
