UV Basic
From: 10880 €
The UV Basic laser features a galvanometer head and an open, enclosure-free design, allowing large parts to be marked without any size restrictions.
Thanks to the low thermal output of its UV beam, the system is ideally suited for sensitive materials such as glass, ceramics, technical plastics, and low-conductivity metals, minimizing any risk of damage or deformation.
With its optimized marking speed, it delivers high productivity and consistent reliability — meeting the precision, repeatability, and throughput demands of the most demanding industrial environments.

The UV Basic laser is a standalone marking station built to combine precision, reliability, and ease of use in demanding industrial environments. Its main features are as follows:
– High-precision UV laser source, ideal for marking sensitive materials without thermal alteration.
– High-performance galvanometer head, allowing marking speeds of up to 7000 mm/s with a precision of ±0.001 mm.
– Water cooling system, ensuring thermal stability even during intensive or prolonged operation.
– Modular mechanical structure, with options available such as a pass-through table and an adjustable motorized Z-axis.
– Three-pointer red laser focusing for quick manual positioning, or autofocus (optional) for automatic focal plane adjustment.
– UV marking preview, allowing for precise positioning before engraving.
– Integrated industrial software with advanced functions: automatic incrementing, database linking (CSV), barcode, QR code, and Datamatrix generation.
– Reduced maintenance, limited to simple periodic lens cleaning.
– Available in multiple power levels to meet specific needs for traceability, fine marking, or processing of heat-sensitive technical parts.

FAQ on UV Basic
What are the advantages of UV laser compared to fiber and CO2 lasers?
To properly understand the unique position of the UV laser, it is necessary to analyze how its wavelength interacts with material compared to Fiber and CO2 lasers.
Here is a clear comparison of these three technologies.
Comparison table of wavelengths
| Laser Type | Wavelength | Spectral range | Interaction with material | Preferred materials |
| CO2 Laser | 10600 nm | Far infrared | Thermal (Burns, melts, evaporates) | Wood, acrylic, leather, glass (raw engraving), cardboard. |
| Fiber Laser | 1064 nm | Near infrared | Thermal (Heating, annealing, stripping) | Metals (stainless steel, steel, aluminum) and certain opaque plastics. |
| UV Laser | 355 nm | Ultraviolet | Photochemical (“Cold marking”) | All plastics, glass (high finish), precious metals, silicon. |
The major advantages of the UV Laser
The UV laser does not attempt to “heat” the material, and that is precisely what makes it so powerful.
- “Cold marking” (Zero thermal damage)
CO2 and Fiber lasers work through thermal interaction: they heat the area until it melts or carbonizes. The UV laser, however, possesses photons that are so energetic that they directly break the molecular bonds of the material without heating it.
Result: No deformation, no burrs, no burns, or micro-cracks on the part.
- Universal absorption
Many materials (notably clear or colored plastics, glass, or highly reflective metals such as copper or gold) reflect or transmit light from Fiber and CO2 lasers. Conversely, the 355 nm wavelength is absorbed by almost all materials, making it the most versatile laser on the market.
- Microscopic precision
The size of a laser’s focal spot depends directly on its wavelength: the shorter it is, the more finely the beam can be concentrated.
A UV beam can be focused to less than 20 microns. It therefore allows for micro-marking (Datamatrix codes of less than one square millimeter, microscopic serial numbers) with absolute sharpness, which is impossible to achieve with a CO2 or Fiber laser.
In summary: While CO2 and Fiber excel in raw power (thick cutting, deep metal engraving), the UV laser is the tool for surgical precision and respect for delicate materials.
