Galaxy® Tension
ACCURATE, ACTUAL TENSION DISPLAY FOR SAFER LASER SAWING
Galaxy® Tension stands as an unparalleled breakthrough, pioneering the world’s first technology for the precise 3D scanning and mapping of tension within the internal structure of rough diamonds. The peril of tension within these diamonds becomes evident during laser sawing, jeopardizing the stone’s integrity. Laser cutting on high tension areas poses threats, such as the enlargement of inclusions, the formation of new cracks, or even the shattering of the rough diamond itself.
Feedback from diamond manufacturers underscores the magnitude of the issue, revealing that 10 to 20% of rough diamonds with identified medium or high-tension areas suffer damage during the laser sawing process. Galaxy® Tension, with its advanced features, offers meticulous, color-coded detection, unveiling the actual physical location of tension areas and depicting the intensity within the diamond. This detection is free from distortions caused by reflections or other visual disturbances.
Revolutionizing Rough Diamond Planning:
When seamlessly integrated with Advisor® rough planning software, Galaxy® Tension introduces a transformative dimension to rough diamond planning. Manufacturers gain the ability to contemplate the precise location of tension in rough diamonds much earlier in the production process, ensuring a paradigm shift towards safer, more effective, and ultimately more profitable planning and sawing procedures. Galaxy® Tension redefines industry standards, promising not just a technological advance but a strategic enhancement in diamond manufacturing processes.
