Large-Area 3-Axis Laser Marking System

Designed for Scalable Precision

The Meta-XY XL retains all the benefits of the original Meta-XY system but with an expanded footprint to accommodate larger components and batch runs. Whether you’re applying traceability codes, logos, or detailed graphics onto metal, plastics, composites, or coated materials, the XL’s precision motion control and modular architecture allow for seamless integration into your workflow.

This machine is particularly well-suited to industries where marking on panels, enclosures, or multiple parts simultaneously is required. It delivers high-resolution results at speed, without compromising repeatability or durability.

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 deep engraving, branding, or traceability on complex components.

Multiple Laser Sources

Fiber Laser (CW or MOPA) – Perfect for marking metals, hard plastics and ceramics with deep engraving or high-speed serialisation. UV Laser – Ideal for delicate or heat-sensitive materials such as medical plastics, glass, or flexible films. CO₂ Laser – Best suited for engraving or marking wood, leather, cardboard and coated substrates.

Precision XY-Axis

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