Compact 355 nm UV Laser Marking Machine
This compact UV laser marking machine uses a 355 nm ultraviolet source for high-contrast, fine-detail marking with a small heat-affected zone. Its cold-processing characteristics make it suitable for selected plastics, glass, ceramics, silicone, films, electronic components, coated metals and other heat-sensitive materials. Available 5-20 W configurations support product identification, QR codes, micro-text, logos and precision industrial marking.
Incredible Precision
The 355 nm UV beam supports a fine focused spot and limited thermal influence for crisp micro-text, codes and detailed graphics.
Advanced Software
EZCAD2 control supports efficient setup of text, codes, vector graphics and production data. LightBurn compatibility depends on the installed JCZ board and driver configuration and should be confirmed before ordering.
Marks Diverse Materials
The UV laser can mark many flat components with fine detail. Rotary fixtures are available for rings, bottles and other cylindrical parts, while material and geometry testing confirms the best optical and process configuration.

Why Choose UV Laser Marking
A 355 nm UV laser is strongly absorbed by many polymers, coatings, glass and electronic materials. Compared with longer-wavelength marking systems, it can create fine marks with less localized heating, helping reduce melting, discoloration and edge damage on sensitive parts. Final results depend on material formulation, color, surface finish and process settings, so sample testing is recommended.
Typical UV laser marking applications include:
Silicone: Selected silicone formulations can produce a clean color change with limited material removal, making UV suitable for fine text, serial numbers and QR codes after sample validation.
Glass: UV marking can create fine frosted or high-contrast effects on selected glass types with lower thermal stress than many conventional processes. Optical glass and specialty formulations should be tested before production.
Wood and coated materials: The small UV spot can produce fine details with less edge charring than higher-heat processes. Mark contrast varies by species, coating and moisture content.
Marking Samples and Applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can this UV laser marking machine process?
A 355 nm UV laser is well suited to fine, low-heat marking on many plastics, glass, ceramics, coated metals, electronic components and packaging materials. Because formulations and surface finishes vary, sample testing is recommended before production.
What laser power options are available?
This model is offered in 5 W, 10 W, 15 W and 20 W configurations. The best option depends on the material, marking area, required contrast, line speed and cycle time.
Can a UV laser create deep engraving on metal?
UV systems are designed primarily for precise surface marking and minimal heat impact, not high-speed deep metal engraving. For deep engraving or heavy ablation on bare metal, a fiber laser is usually the more suitable choice.
How does UV marking differ from fiber and CO2 laser marking?
UV lasers use a 355 nm wavelength for fine marks with a small heat-affected zone, making them effective on many sensitive plastics, glass and electronic parts. Fiber lasers are generally preferred for metals, while CO2 lasers are commonly used for wood, acrylic, paper, leather and other organic materials.
How do I clean and maintain the lenses and mirrors?
Keep the work area, ventilation openings and field lens free of dust. Never touch optical surfaces with bare fingers; use approved lens tissue and optical-cleaning fluid only when necessary. Follow the cooling-system and maintenance instructions supplied with the confirmed machine configuration.
What file formats and software are supported?
The standard controller uses EZCAD2 and supports common production artwork such as vector files, bitmap images, text, serial numbers, dates, barcodes and QR codes. Typical import formats include DXF, PLT, AI, BMP, JPG and PNG; confirm the final controller and software package in the quotation.
How long does the laser source last, and what is the warranty?
Laser-source life depends on operating conditions, duty cycle, cooling and maintenance. Warranty coverage and service terms are provided in the confirmed quotation for the selected laser source and machine configuration.
What are the advantages of UV laser marking over inkjet or mechanical marking?
UV laser marking is non-contact, requires no ink or consumable labels, and can produce fine permanent codes and graphics with low thermal stress. It also avoids tool wear and contact pressure, which is valuable for delicate or small components.
