How to use a laser welder
Using a laser welder for jewellery requires precision, safety, and an understanding of power and positioning. Modern Orotig welders, such as the Orotig Evo X laser welder, feature touchscreen interfaces, real-time diagnostics, and remote assistance for easier operation.
- Secure the piece on a stable platform or adjustable motorised pedestal.
- Adjust power settings and pulse duration for your material.
- Activate the laser in short bursts for accuracy and minimal heat spread.
- Monitor progress with live playback or integrated diagnostics for perfect welds.
Can a laser welder weld aluminium?
A laser welder can effectively weld aluminium alloys. Using the Orotig Midi Tech is ideal for working on reflective metals and has EnergyTune that automatically adjusts power and pulse duration. This can create a stronger, cleaner weld than traditional mehods like TIG, but it often needs filler wire to prevent defects due to aluminium’s tendency to form a stubborn oxide layer.
Can you cut parts using a laser welder?
While laser welders are primarily designed for joining metals, some Orotig models with higher power settings combine welding, engraving and cutting. The focus of these machines is high-precision welding and engraving for jewellery work.
