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.

    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…

    Did you know?

    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.

    Example

    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

    However...

    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
