ROLAND JWX-10 Jewela 3D Scanner & Desktop CNC Mill

JWX-10

The Roland JWX-10 Jewela is a 3D scanner and computer controlled jewellery mill for the desktop. Spend less time on the bench and more time working on your business or with clients.

Digital technology does not replace design creativity. It is merely a new tool for jewellers to reduce time and costs in producing custom or high volume jewellery. Independent jewellers can use digital technology to build their custom design business, an area that large chain store retailers cannot service efficiently.

Flexible Manufacturing
Easy to use and compatible with all 3D CAD software programs, the Roland JWX-10 Jewela is a fast and affordable wax master production tool, able to produce intricate designs in only an hour or two depending on the level of detail.

The JWX-10 Jewela and its accessories can be used to cut wax rings from multiple sides, pendants, settings and other components for design evaluation or production. By using different tools for one part, designs of high detail can be accurately cut in a short time. By designing in 3D CAD, design errors and time spent to create modifications are drastically reduced.

The JWX-10 Jewela fits onto a standard desk with a footprint of only 44cm by 52cm, yet is large enough to produce bracelets and charms.

The included rotary 4th axis can be swapped with a work plate for standard 3 axis cutting of larger design pieces of almost 140mm length.

The JWX-10 Jewela is compatible with all jewellery design packages.

Safe & Easy to Use
Jewellery makers with existing CAD files can use the JWX-10 to mill their designs within an hour of receiving their JWX-10 Jewela. The JWX-10 Jewela is incredibly easy to use, including ring-holding fixtures that secure non-proprietary, off-the-shelf jewellery wax stock during the milling process. It also includes 4-axis CAM software, user manuals, tools and comprehensive tutorials.

The Roland JWX-10 Jewela includes an electronic tool-length sensor to automatically calibrate tools when they are changed. The JWX-10 Jewela is fully enclosed for safety and insulating noise. The door is connected to a safety switch that will stop cutting if the door is opened. This ensures adequate occupational health and safety. These features are normally only found on more expensive CNC mills.

The supplied software to control milling is wizard based so users do not need to remember how to create toolpaths. A single button within the supplied software starts the cutting, avoiding the need to manually send toolpaths to the machine. For more experienced users, professional computer aided manufacturing (CAM) programs can be used, providing industry level features.

Value
The Roland JWX-10 Jewela is a low cost CNC mill designed for jewellers with features normally found on higher priced machines. The motor and motion components used in the JWX-10 Jewela have industry proven reliability from other Roland machines so jewellers can rest assured the JWX-10 Jewela will be reliable and durable.

The motor goes up to 20,000 rpm and will run for at least 5000 hours before needing replacement, resulting in a low running cost.

The Roland JWX-10 Jewela is supplied with Modela Player 4 software and Qubic can provide a range of cutters including 0.025mm profile cutters to get you started straight away. All you need to supply is a home computer. Qubic can also supply a range of other 3D design and toolpath programs for complete design creativity.

Accessories
JWX-10 Jewela users can use a Roland vice to cut slab material. Rings can be cut from three sides, and pendants from both front and back.

ProtoWizard is a software and hardware option that allows user to cut rings from three sides, and then 360 degrees using a rotary motion. This capability allows rings with details around the ring and on each side of the ring to be cut in one part. The special fixtures and software is designed to fit onto the JWX-10 and minimises cutting time by using very efficient toolpaths.
