Why LaserGear Units Are the Best Jewelry Engraving Machines

If you’re in the jewelry business, or like to create jewelry as a hobby, you know the value and importance that engraving plays for the pieces you craft. Being able to incorporate information onto any given piece, particularly text for personalization, lets you provide additional services in your business that the customer greatly appreciates. This is where laser engraving machines for jewelry come into play to provide precise and long-lasting results in an efficient manner.

In the past, hand engraving and basic machine engraving were the only options available to jewelry-makers, but as technology has advanced the process of laser engraving jewelry has emerged as a viable and state-of-the-art alternative.

At TYKMA Electrox, our LaserGear systems are the ideal jewelry engraving machines. These advanced systems truly bridge the gap between creating a well-made, personalized piece of jewelry and utilizing the latest technology in the laser marking industry.

Let’s take a look at everything jewelry laser engraving machines can offer you and your customers and why LaserGear should be your system of choice.

Advantages of Using Laser Engraving Machines for Jewelry

Companies and hobbyists who incorporate laser engraving machines for jewelry into their operations can reap a variety of significant benefits, including:

Precision – Due to its computer-controlled nature, laser marking and engraving is able to provide micron-level accuracy while producing clean, crisp marks or engravings.

Reduced cost – Because hand engraving and basic machine engraving requires a stylus or a burin to cut away at the piece being engraved, over time the cutting instrument will begin to be chipped and dulled, requiring constant upkeep and eventual replacement. But since laser engraving is non-contact, in that only the laser touches the engraved material, this upkeep, and thus ongoing cost, is removed from the equation.

Speed – Since jewelry laser engraving machines utilize a computerized system, they are able to produce laser engraving patterns for items with ease once the needed designs or information has been entered into the system, letting you rapidly make the marks or engravings needed.

Repeatability – Related to the speed aspect mentioned above is repeatability, in that you will have the ability to mass-produce pieces which all necessitate the same markings quickly and efficiently.

Rotary capability – With so many pieces of jewelry having rounded or circular components, being able to mark and engrave around such surfaces is vital. To assist with this, TYKMA Electrox provides optional rotary accessories for your operation’s needs.

Small footprint – Our laser engraving systems are ideal for jewelry in that they have a very small footprint and are either desktop or integration lasers that will only take up a minimum amount of vital real estate in your facility.

Versatility – Along with their capabilities as rotary laser engravers, our systems are able to be used on a wide range of materials in countless applications. We’ll examine a number of them below.
