In the field of fine jewelry engraving, precision, color expression, and processing efficiency are the core demands of both professional workshops and personalized customization enthusiasts. Cloudray, as a globally recognized supplier of laser equipment and solutions, has launched a series of laser engraving machines suitable for fine processing. Among them, the GM-100 NEO and MP-60 NEO stand out in the fine jewelry engraving scenario due to their excellent technical parameters and targeted functional designs. This article will conduct an in-depth analysis of the two models to help users determine which one is more suitable for their jewelry engraving needs.
I. Core Demands of Fine Jewelry Engraving
Before comparing specific models, it is necessary to clarify the key requirements of fine jewelry engraving for equipment:
-
Ultra-high precision to handle tiny patterns (such as micro-letters, delicate patterns) on small jewelry parts (such as rings, pendants);
-
Stable processing quality to avoid material damage caused by uneven energy output (jewelry materials such as gold, silver, and titanium are often high-value);
-
Diversified effect expression (such as color marking) to meet the personalized design needs of modern jewelry;
-
Efficient operation to adapt to both small-batch customization and moderate-scale production.
The following will evaluate the Cloudray GM-100 NEO and Cloudray MP-60 NEO based on these demands, combined with official authoritative data and technical characteristics.
II. Cloudray GM-100 NEO: High-Precision Positioning Expert for Complex Jewelry Patterns
Cloudray GM-100 NEO is a 100W MOPA fiber laser engraving machine positioned for individual entrepreneurs, DIY enthusiasts, and small workshops. Its technical advantages are highly aligned with the "precision positioning" and "stable processing" needs of fine jewelry engraving.

Core Parameters Supporting Fine Jewelry Engraving
GM-100 NEO has a positioning accuracy of ±0.1μm and a maximum engraving speed of 15,000 mm/s. This level of precision can easily handle micro-engraving tasks with a minimum line width of less than 0.01mm, which is sufficient to carve delicate patterns such as floral motifs on ring inner walls or tiny inscriptions on pendant surfaces.
At the same time, its 100W MOPA fiber laser has adjustable pulse width and frequency, which can be optimized according to different jewelry materials—for example, using small pulse widths for heat-sensitive silver to avoid material deformation, and medium pulse widths for titanium to ensure pattern clarity.

Functional Advantages for Jewelry Processing Scenarios
The most prominent feature of the GM-100 NEO is its built-in 8MP HD camera and automatic focusing system:
-
The HD camera can provide real-time feedback of the work area in the software, enabling precise positioning of the engraving area—this avoids the problem of pattern offset caused by manual alignment, which is crucial for high-value jewelry.
-
The automatic focusing function can adjust the focus according to the height of the jewelry material with one click, and the focusing accuracy is maintained at a high level. Even when replacing jewelry of different thicknesses (such as from a 2mm thick pendant to a 5mm thick ring), it can ensure consistent engraving depth, avoiding the risk of over-engraving or under-engraving.
In addition, the machine adopts an industrial-grade body design with an optimized heat dissipation layout. According to customer feedback, it can support 24-hour continuous operation while maintaining stable laser energy output. For small workshops that undertake batch jewelry customization orders, this stability can effectively reduce the rate of defective products caused by equipment overheating.
III. Cloudray MP-60 NEO: Colorful Expression Leader for Personalized Jewelry
Cloudray MP-60 NEO is a 60W fiber laser engraving machine that integrates "precise engraving" and "thin metal cutting". Its core advantage lies in color marking capabilities and ultra-fine engraving details, which are highly suitable for personalized jewelry design scenarios (such as custom colored patterns on stainless steel necklaces, or ultra-fine portraits on gold pendants).
-
Technical Strengths in Color and Precision
Official data shows that the MP-60 NEO supports more than 100 colors of marking on metal alloys such as stainless steel, titanium, and brass, and the color effect is bright, stable, and repeatable. This is a key advantage for customized jewelry—modern fine jewelry often uses color contrast to enhance design sense, and the MP-60 NEO can achieve this without additional coating processes, reducing post-processing steps and material loss.
In terms of precision, the MP-60 NEO has an engraving detail of 1270 DPI and can achieve 0.001mm-level ultra-fine engraving. This means it can restore extremely delicate patterns, such as handwritten signatures on jewelry or micro-mosaic patterns. For high-end custom jewelry that pursues "craft details", this level of precision is irreplaceable.
In addition, its maximum engraving depth is 5mm, which can handle thicker jewelry materials (such as 3mm thick titanium bracelets) and create three-dimensional relief effects.
-
Practical Functions for Jewelry Production
The MP-60 NEO adopts a split-type professional design with a modular structure that is easy to maintain and replace—for example, if the laser head needs to be cleaned or maintained during long-term jewelry processing, the modular design can reduce downtime, which is more friendly to professional workshops with tight production schedules.
Its automatic focusing system has a precision of 0.01mm and is compatible with reflective and curved materials, which can adapt to the processing of common curved jewelry (such as bangles, hoop earrings) without manual adjustment of the material angle.
In terms of work area, the MP-60 NEO has a standard working area of 200mm×200mm, and the working area can be expanded to 1000mm×300mm through extended slide rails. This flexibility allows it to not only process small jewelry parts but also handle larger jewelry blanks (such as large pendants, jewelry frames) when needed, expanding the scope of applicable products.
IV. Conclusion
For fine jewelry engraving, both Cloudray's GM-100 NEO and MP-60 NEO have professional-level performance, but their applicable scenarios are slightly different:
-
If your core demand is high-precision positioning for batch stable processing (such as standard-style ring engraving), the GM-100 NEO's 8MP camera and 100W stable power will be more suitable;
-
If you focus on personalized color expression (such as custom colored patterns), the MP-60 NEO's 100+ color marking and 1270 DPI detail performance will be the better choice.
As Cloudray's core products for fine processing, both models have passed strict material testing (refer to Cloudray Material Test Gallery) and provide a 2-year laser warranty and 1-year accessory warranty, ensuring long-term reliable operation. No matter which model you choose, you can rely on Cloudray's global technical support system (24×5 online customer service, local after-sales support) to obtain timely solutions when encountering problems in the jewelry engraving process.
