Precision Engineering of Luxury Watch Parts

Lumos Laser's GHz burst femtosecond lasers improve the standard of micromachining, enabling ultra-precise machining of watch components.

Key Benefits:

  • Micro-Precision Cutting and Engraving: Enables the creation of intricate designs and precise components essential for luxury watches.
  • No Thermal Damage: The cold ablation process ensures that sensitive materials such as gold, platinum, and sapphire crystal are processed without heat-induced stress or deformation.
  • Complex Geometries: Facilitates the production of complex shapes and ultra-fine details that are beyond the capabilities of conventional machining.
  • High Processing Speed: GHz burst rates translate to faster production times, crucial for meeting the demands of high-end watch manufacturing.

Applications:

  • Cutting of Delicate Components: Produces precise gears, springs, and other critical components with smooth edges and exact dimensions.
  • Decorative Engraving: Allows for the addition of sophisticated, detailed patterns and personalization options on watch faces and casings.
  • Sapphire Crystal Machining: Offers flawless cutting and shaping of one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking, ensuring clarity and durability.
  • Texturing for Aesthetics and Functionality: Creates textured surfaces on dials and bands for aesthetic enhancement and improved wear resistance.
