Atelier SOLUC - Repair shop specialized in laser welding for eyewear, the molding industry and surgical instruments.

History

Founded in 1992 Atelier SOLUC first specialized in jewellery, watches, clock repairs as well as glass frames. Over the years Atelier SOLUC modernized their techniques with the acquisition of their very first laser..

It allowed us to expend our glass welding scale by giving us the ability to weld frames made of Titanium as well as a variety of other objects.

In 2005 a second laser was added to allow the company to yet again expend by adding a new department of metal mold welding, a very first for the city of Quebec.

With the purchase of their third laser especially adapted to repair different size molds. Atelier Soluc has been able to offer, since 2008, aluminium welding and can operate on much larger surfaces.

Finally in 2013 our Forth Laser was purchased, with a numeric control and 4 axes. This technology has given us the ability to solder more rapidly and with a higher level of precision.

Furthermore with this new acquisition we can perform repairs on a small quantity of pieces as easily as a large production scale. It also has a virtually invisible line with a thickness of 0.10mm which is approximately the size of a human hair.

Eyewear

Service for frames repair only.

Welding on metal frames and repair of plastic bridges. We have spare hinges, pad arms, plates, tips, bridges, screws, etc. We are offering anti-corrosive plating ( 22K gold or rhodium).

It's possible to modify the frame such as lengthen sides, circles' size, the addition of a frontal bar, eye crutches, pad arms or transforming the regular frame into a nylon retaining cord.

Numerical welding control process

In the industrial fabrication, the micro soldering technology has allowed developers to minimize more and more their product sizes. This allows us to eliminate the threaded parts and render the welded pieces air tight, as well as avoid using the machining parts by fabricating previously assembled miniature parts.

We can bring the components closer without the pieces near the welded area being affected by heat. The CNC mode allows a perfect control or the puddle welding as well as the heat that emanates from one piece to the other which enable us to assemble pieces as thin as 0.0254mm.

For the manufacture of a single piece in series like this, the micro soldering technology touches virtually all areas that can relate near or far to the micromechanics technology.

Surgical Instruments

Whether it's for a simple cleaning, a sharpening, an adjustment or a major repair, we can prolong your instrument life at an affordable cost.

We sharpen scissors, from micro to the biggest (including endoscopy), sharp claws of all kinds, trocars, osteotomes, curettes, etc. We can change the carbide inserts trays for needle-holders of all kinds.

We have also the insulating sheaths for endoscopic instruments and tools for cauterization.

We are also provider of titanium tags for X-Rays in radio-oncology.

X-Rays tags

We fabricate tags used for X-Rays or CT scans exams. Contrary to copper or tin, often used by Radio-oncology clinics, our titanium tags don't mask the structures shown on the exam (due to the small diameter of the pieces). Furthermore, titanium does not produce artefacts.

Moulage

Laser welding offers many advantages : no distortion or internal strain following the welding. Heat spreading around the welded zone is almost non-existent. Due to the fusion and the rapid cooling, the weld and the metal is subjected to a quench equal to the surrounding metal, thus reducing the finishing stages that will follow.
