Laser Part Marking

Automation.

The Meta-XY UV laser part marking machine is built for versatility, speed, and efficient 24/7 operation. Its advanced automation features allow for seamless high-volume laser part marking with minimal operator intervention. Featuring an expansive XY-axis table and available with a 5W, 10W or 15W UV laser, it delivers superior results in industrial production environments.

3D Laser Marking

Equipped with 3-axis technology, the Meta-XY effortlessly marks flat, curved, and irregular surfaces with pinpoint accuracy. This makes it the ideal laser part marking machine for industries requiring branding or traceability on complex components.

5W, 10W or 15W

The Meta-XY UV is available with a 5W, 10W or 15W UV laser, making short work of the most intricate marking and engraving tasks. Whatever material you’re working with, this versatile system provides optimal results with high-speed precision, beating almost any other system hands-down.

Precision XY-Axis

The fully automated, large-format XY table is designed for batch processing and high-throughput applications. This enables exact positioning across a wide marking area, allowing multiple parts to be processed in a single cycle, without the need for manual intervention.

3-Axis Motion System.

The Meta-XY UV is engineered with a true 3-axis motion system, making batch part marking faster, easier and more accurate than ever. This means that no matter where your part is placed on the bed, the full range of motion means the machine can mark it with extreme accuracy, every time.

Large parts, multiple small parts, irregular shapes… the Meta-XY can handle it all.

The laser head moves along the X and Z axis…

…while the T-slot table moves along the Y axis for a full 3 axis of movement.

What a difference 3D makes…

True 3D Engraving

Meta-XY dynamically adjusts focal depth using a high-precision 3-axis scanner, maintaining micron-level focus even on steep or recessed surfaces. Whether engraving deep branding marks or micro text, every line remains consistent and true.
