Every machine is assembled, aligned, run and then made to weld real jewelry before it is packed. This page is the list of what actually gets checked — not a tour of the building.
Check
Laser & optics
On real metal
Before packing
Hover or tap a marker. Two of the six sit behind panels — the tabs further down open those up.
Six stages. A unit does not move to the next one until the current one is signed off.
Laser sources, optics, cooling parts and control boards checked against specification before anything is built.
Source, beam path, cooling circuit and controls built into the housing, wired and sealed.
Optical alignment, focus position and spot size set, then the viewing system aligned to the same point.
Powered, run through its parameter range, with cooling and alarms exercised rather than assumed.
Real welds on real metal. A machine that has not welded jewelry has not been tested for jewelry.
Configuration, accessories and documentation checked against the order, then packed and released.
What gets checked inside each subsystem, before it becomes part of a machine.
Four checks, each with something measured rather than something observed.
Pulse-to-pulse output sampled across the machine's specified range.
Within the unit's specificationSpot size at focus checked at the smallest and largest settings.
Within the unit's specificationBeam centred through the head and coincident with what the operator sees.
Aligned to the weld pointEnergy, pulse width and frequency changed and the result confirmed at the joint.
Responds across the rangeMeasured values are recorded on the unit's own QC record and travel with the machine. Ask for a copy for your serial number and we will send it.
Different platforms fail in different places. These are the extra checks each one gets — not a repeat of its specification.
Lamp and cavity condition, cooling load, and stability once the machine is warm rather than at first pulse.
Output held over a sustained run, cooling temperature under that run, and alignment re-checked warm.
A YAG platform behaves differently cold and warm. Checking it cold only proves it starts.
Fiber delivery integrity, connector condition and pulse shaping at the low end of the range.
Delivery path inspected end to end, and short-pulse response confirmed where fine jewelry work lives.
On fiber platforms the delivery path and the connector are the two things that fail quietly.
Mode switching, and whether the machine still holds calibration after moving between functions.
Each mode exercised in turn, then alignment and parameter storage re-checked after switching back.
A combined platform has more ways to be almost right. The check is that switching costs nothing.
The last thing a machine does before packing is weld jewelry. Five checks, then a look under magnification.
A prepared joint in real metal, not a coupon of steel.
Run on the machine's own stored parameters, by the person releasing it.
Surface, penetration and repeatability looked at under magnification.
A thin-section joint at the small end of the spot range.
Metal added and fused, because rebuilding is a different demand from joining.
Twenty near-identical pulses, checked for drift between the first and the last.
Where the operator aimed against where the metal actually fused.
Pool shape, spatter and oxide looked at under magnification, not by eye.

What is exercised before release, and what gets written down when it is.
We publish what is checked rather than a headline number of hours. If a burn-in duration matters to your purchase, ask and we will tell you what that unit actually ran.
Every unit ships with its own record. This is the blank form — the fields below are filled in for your serial number, not for this page.
Shown blank on purpose. A filled-in passport with a serial number and a date on a web page would be a specimen of somebody else's machine — ask for yours and we will send the real one.
Worked through against your order, because most of what arrives wrong was packed wrong rather than built wrong.
What can be supplied with a shipment. Ask for whichever your import or your insurer needs.
Supplied on request for the machine you are ordering.
Supplied on request for the machine you are ordering.
The unit's own QC record, by serial number.
Commercial invoice, packing list and the papers your route requires.
If a specific standard or document is a condition of your purchase, ask before you order rather than after. We would rather tell you what we can supply than have it turn up short at customs.
Three ways to check what this page says, none of which require taking our word for it.
