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 and industrial sectors, built with our time-tested Meta-C chassis, with a projected working life of over 15 years.
| Scan Area | Laser Type | Power (W) |
| 300mm x 300mm | Ultraviolet | 3-15 |
Built for the rigours of an industrial environment and designed to last for a lifetime. Compliant with CE, RoHSII, ISO9001 and FDA regulations.
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.
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).
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.*
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.
The Meta-C UV laser marking machine can accomodate the most diverse range of materials, marking almost anything and giving you the most freedom. Alternatively, if you need deeper engraving for materials like metals then you may want to opt for one of our fibre based machines.
Easily set up and position parts with 180° access, with the doors closed the part loading size is 700mm wide x 380mm deep.
A precision cut aluminium 300mm x 300mm T-Slot aligning worktable helps reduce those set-up times from minutes to just a few seconds.
Quickly check status, erros, run maintenance and more with the integrated touchscreen.
A range of lenses deliver a variation of focal lengths, scan areas and focal point sizes. This system can be fitted with a range F-theta lenses.

Boasting great features to make life easy, this UV laser marker can deliver what you need, when you need it.
At the heart of our Meta-C UV systems is a Diode-Pumped Solid-State (DPSS) UV laser, outputting a beam of light at a wavelength of 355nm. DPSS lasers typically have a higher beam quality and can output a higher-powered beam when compared to diode lasers.
In comparison to other common laser wavelengths (532nm and 1064nm), UV lasers have a high rate of absorption across a broad range of commonly processed materials. The high rate of absorption is due to the interaction UV light has with atomic bonds in the material. When subjected to UV light, the atomic bonds break as opposed to the material vaporising or melting. This reduces the heat affected zone (HAZ) and is the reason why UV lasers are commonly referred to as “cold lasers”; they require less power to achieve a mark compared to other wavelengths of light.
The smaller wavelength gives rise to a smaller focused spot size. At the focal plane of our 355nm UV lasers, the beam is approximately a factor of 30 times smaller than that of our long wave infrared (CO2) RF lasers. The high-fidelity results that can be obtained with the small spot size is something exclusive to UV lasers.

Available with a 3W, 5W or 10W UV laser, the Meta-C can make short work of the most intricate marking tasks and the most difficult materials, beating almost any other system hands-down.
Our programmable Z-axis provides exceptionally quick job set-up and recall, as well giving you the ability to mark objects at multiple heights (450mm max) in a single marking or engraving job.
Designed, assembled, configured and tested in the UK. Compliant with CE, RoHSII, ISO9001 and FDA regulations, 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…

Available with a very wide range of laser wavelengths, output powers, varying beam characteristics and packed with performance enhancing features Meta-C UV is our flagship laser marking workstation. The Meta-C UV is a powerhouse of a machine delivering the best performance and functionality in its class. It’s the ideal solution for those that require the ultimate performance and reliability to service high production demands.
Meta-C UV also comes with unrivalled connectivity to external devices such as robots and other forms of automated handling devices. Meta-C UV can be used with a conveyor belt or rotary device to further improve the laser marking process.
Lease equipment is 100% tax deductible, so all payments made for the equipment are written off against the company’s tax bill. This could mean a saving of 20-40% of the lease payments depending on the rate you pay.
In fact, buying equipment outright means it becomes a depreciating asset, losing value over time, going down the leasing route means this is not in your name.
Machine cost £5000+VAT over 3-year term
Monthly payment of £168.85 + VAT over 36 months
Total paid over term of lease £6078.60
19% tax can be reclaimed on the total lease payments over the 3 years, so a total of £1154.93
Therefore, the net cost of the lease is £6078.60 - £1154.93
Net Cost = £4923.67
