Description

At Eyeglass Repair USA, we offer the best metal eyeglass lens frame weld services nationwide. We use laser weld technology for safe and clean repair. With laser weld, we can join the broken parts without damaging the metal plating or the coating. The repair will be 60 times stronger than a solder weld and nearly invisible to the naked eyes.

When the lens frame of your metal eyeglasses breaks, we can safely weld it back together with our laser welder.

This repair applies to these breaks :

  • a break in frame around the lens (lens frame)
  • a broken lens frame screw assembly
  • between elbow of arm and lens frame
  • between lens frame and trim frame attached in front
  • between lens frame and bridge

How do we perform lens frame repair with weld?

Step 1: Prepare the joint

In a welding project, joint preparation is the very first and important step. For high-quality weld, we will clear the frame weld area from any paint or coating. Also, clean both edges of the weld from any oils or dirt. If needed, we will grind the parts to make them flat for a tight joint.

Step 2: Add filler wire

Filler wire works as glue and joins the broken parts together. There are many filler wires available in the market but we use silver fill wire on eyeglasses frames. Silver is more compatible than other metals. We use a thinner wire (26-30 AWG) so we can add other similar metals to your frame to make the repair more precise.

The laser beam and weld spot get bathed in a flow of argon gas
which prevents oxygen to reach the weld area , therefore preventing oxidation of reactive metals like titanium.
