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.

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.

The Meta-XY 3D UV is designed to speed up your production.


Meta-C UV Laser Engraver

Thanks to its high absorption rate, UV laser marking can accommodate the most diverse range of materials compared to other waveforms. It works by breaking the bonds directly instead of burning the material like other laser types. This allows for engraving an almost anything. Take a look below at just some of the example materials that can be marked with a UV laser and see our list of laser compatible materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

With our advanced ELI-355 UV laser at its core, the Meta-XY UV is a true 3-axis system designed for precision marking on both flat and curved surfaces. Every beam position is dynamically corrected in real time, ensuring it maintains perfect focus and depth across complex geometries. Pair this with the Meta-XY UV’s large format work area, it’s the perfect solution for businesses that need to increase throughput, and fast.

Yes. Meta-XY has been engineered with automation in mind. It can be configured with automatic doors, rotary devices, conveyors, and intelligent cameras for code verification or alignment. These modules connect easily through PLC I/O and soon network control, allowing full integration into larger automated systems without additional custom hardware.

The system is designed for industrial versatility. It can mark a wide range of metals including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and titanium, as well as engineered plastics, glass and wood. It can make short work of the most intricate engraving and marking tasks, and is the system of choice for marking even the most difficult of materials.

Marks produced by the Meta-XY are permanent and typically resistant to abrasion, heat, and chemical exposure. They are ideal for long-term traceability and identification in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and medical manufacturing where durability is critical.

Yes. Every Meta-XY is built for continuous operation. Precision cooling, filtered airflow, and high-grade optics ensure stable performance even under heavy production demand. Many systems run non-stop in manufacturing environments with minimal maintenance requirements.

Each system includes a comprehensive warranty as standard, with upgrade options available through our Service Plan tiers – including the 10-year Diamond Cover in the UK. Regular preventative maintenance and remote diagnostics help maximize uptime and ensure consistent performance throughout the machine’s lifespan.

Absolutely. The Meta-XY uses a modular architecture that allows upgrades to laser power, optics, or accessories as your production requirements evolve. This flexibility extends the system’s useful life and makes it an investment that continues to grow with your business.
