Meta-C UV – UV Laser Marking Machine
As one of the first commercially available UV laser marking machines, the Meta-C UV is able to mark practically anything. Designed to serve the commercial or industrial sectors, built with our time-tested Meta-C chassis and with a projected working life of over 15 years, it is available with a 3W, 5W or 10W UV laser.
As with all our Meta range, this ultraviolet laser marker is constructed using German electronics, Italian pneumatics and high-grade components. With a max marking area of 155mm, it is able to take a wide range of accessories from collaborative robots to conveyors.
Industrial-Grade
Durability.
Built for the rigours of an industrial environment and designed to last for a lifetime. Compliant with CE, RoHSII, ISO9001 and FDA regulations.
Harsh Environments
Capable of operating in greater variations of temperature, humidity, and dust than other systems, the Meta-C UV incorporates Siemens PLC electronics and is always triple quality checked.
Insane Endurance
Created with the longest lifespan in mind, even the pneumatic door is designed to handle 10,000’s cycles, the laser 100,000 hours typical MTBF (mean time before failure).
Solid Chassis
Built to withstand knocks and heavy use, coming out through the other side with full functionality. Meta-C UV is built with military-grade aluminium and could take the weight of a small truck.*
Long Warranty
We are so confident in our build quality; we back it up with some of the longest warranties in the industry. Providing a 3-year warranty as standard, extendable to 5 years.

UV Laser Marker
Specification
Designed, assembled, configured and tested in the UK. Compliant with CE, RoHSII, ISO9001 and FDA regulations and pending certification after testing by the TUV quality authority, the Meta-C UV is one of, if not the most feature enriched and functional laser marking workstations on the market today.
We choose very high grade components and really do take our time to build this model, which is reflected by the proven track record of near zero faults in the field across a large number of units installed. At this price point we feel that at time of publishing there really is no other system on the market to compete with this Meta-C UV laser marker on a like for like basis…
