Sunstone Permanent Jewelry Welder by Welders, Orion mPulse 30, Pulse Arc Permanent Jewelry Welder with Touch Screen Interface

Product Information

The Orion mPulse and the PJ welders are more popular options for permanent jewelry businesses, but the Zapp is proving to hold its own in the race for best permanent jewelry welder.

Judging welding performance is subjective to one’s welding experience with different welders. I've welded with Zapp, Zapp Plus, all Orion models (the gold standard in permanent jewelry welders), PUK, the unbranded welder, and the Helix. I found the Helix welding performance unimpressive.Take the fiberglass brush that comes with your kit and polish the weld. Some types of metal will leave more soot than others. What cannot be debated are the facts. My team used the Helix to complete about 500 welds and then took it apart, screw by screw, to better understand it. As an engineer and having been intricately involved in the design of the Zapp, Zapp Plus, Orion PJ, and Orion mPulse, I know my way around permanent jewelry welders. With the Zapp Plus being most similar to the Helix, I did a side-by-side comparison. Time and energy splitting of the laser beam can be realized by the jewelry laser repairing machine, that is, multi-beam simultaneous processing, thus increasing welding speed, which helps users complete processing in a short time with high efficiency and quality. Highly concentrated energy and no consumables needed during welding make post-welded workpieces as tough as the original materials. The laser current waveform of the gold & silver laser welding machine can be set randomly to achieve the best results. In addition, the laser beam can be focused on a very small area of jewelry, gold, and silver, thus generating small heat-affected zones, and jewelry, gold, and silver at similar intervals can be welded. Speedy welding can be accomplished under automation and precise welding of jewelry, gold, and silver by digital or computer control.

What is the difference between PJ and Zapp? Factually, the Helix is presented by a company with a long history of manufacturing jewelry tools, none of which include welding technology to any degree. I also wonder how well the Helix team will be able to provide customer assistance with the limited knowledge their customer service team possesses. The Zapp Plus and the Helix have identical energy ranges of 1 to 30 Joules. Both can weld at the same rate of about one weld per second although the Helix unit we tested tendedto require more time to recharge in the higher energy range.

Since 2004, we are dedicated to the industrial laser processing field. All our products are trusted by customers globally. And most of the laser machines made in China are with our products installed. The Zapp Plus stylus cord measures 44.25” in length from tip to tip. The Helix measures roughly the same in length from tip to tip. The only advantage to be claimed here is the ability to detach the stylus from the Zapp Plus and being able to add an optional extension. The Helix + Darkening Screen includes everything in the Helix Kit with the addition of the Helix Darkening Screen. As a starter welder, the Zapp helps you gain a toehold in permanent jewelry and build your business. When the time is right you’ll want to trade your Zapp for an Orion permanent jewelry welder, such as the Orion PJ, that offers more power, more energy control, more precision, more safety features, and more customization—a professional welder used by more PJ artists than any other welder. What's in the Box Your budget, your skill level, and your business acumen all play a part in your decision. It’s not a one-size-fits-all world out there, so don’t partner with a company that offers just one welder.

The Orion PJ was designed and built specifically for permanent jewelry artists. You won’t find any other permanent jewelry welder better fit for fine chain welding, remote locations, and convenient cable management. The Orion PJ has the ideal energy range for permanent jewelry welding, with smart energy control, extended cable lengths, and cable management features that make working pop-up's and other remote work areas much easier. The Ideal Energy Range User-Friendly Operation: The clear digital display paired with single-button control streamlines the welding process, allowing for a seamless, efficient, and dependable operation. This Zapp Welder review has determined that this machine is capable of getting the job done. Sunstone Welders products come with a stellar reputation, and perform above industry standard. If you are in the market for a welder that will be perfect for your permanent jewelry business, the Zapp could be the best option for you. With the Zapp, you can choose an energy setting between 3 to 10 Joules in single Joule increments, which is just the right amount of energy to close most fine chain styles and jump rings. The Zapp is argon-ready and can connect to any argon source in seconds, such as the Argon Mini from Sunstone, for cleaner, stronger welding results that boost customer satisfaction. The Zapp uses Sunstone’s high-quality tungsten electrodes, known for delivering consistent welding results. A Beginner's Welder Fair, farmers markets, and home parties seem to have the biggest return. Or add permanent jewelry to your existing jewelry studio, beauty shop, boutique, tattoo or piercing studio.

Maintaining a business comes with its fair share of expenses. Depending on the industry, that cost can vary widely. Permanent jewelry artists know that a quality welder is well worth the investment. There are many machines available on the market, but we will focus on the pros and cons of purchasing the new Zapp Welder The Zapp Plus is equipped with the Orion stylus, an “advanced stylus” design with a history of tens of millions of welds. The Helix is equipped with a stylus that looks identical tothe Orion stylus but with no significantperformance history. In my deconstruction of the Helix stylus a few component choices immediately jumped out at me as problematic, only because the company’s years of micro welding experience tells me those components present a risk to durability, useability, or both.

A Brand You Can Trust Place your customer's wrist or ankle under the automatic darkening lens, with the lens facing the customer. Instruct others in the room not to look directly at the chain when welding. Place the protective leather patch between the chain and your customer's skin to prevent a burn, which is unlikely but possible. Make sure your customer records the next step and posts to social media.

With the Orion PJ you can change the energy in half-jewel increments, a highly valuable feature when working with different types of chain. Half-jewel increments allow you to fine tune your energy to produce the perfect weld. For example, when 4 joules is too much energy, but 3 joules is not enough energy, being able to set the energy level at 3.5 joules will deliver just the right amount of energy for beautiful results.
