In the phase of early conception of our Kepets-ULM-c-Laserengraving family our philosophies and our demands for highest quality standards built the base of the upcoming construction.

As on all our products, we applied highest standards, explicitely regarding the real world and the requirements of the user. The defined target was: the Kepets-ULM-c-Laserengraving family will be the best, most economic, most stable and most efficient machine on the world market.

Satisfied customers, using Kepets-ULM-c-Laserengraving machines, corroborate that we reached this target. In order to do so, we needed to deeply analyse specific physical conditions and to develop new technologies and construction principles in order to achieve highest stability and self-balancing assembly of parts. Our SingleRef-Technologie and our integration in the further development of excimer lasersources resulted in a highly efficient, driftfree, ultra compact and highly modular machine, that still engraves faultless and perfect positioned when it is inclined or lifted on one corner.

Until the launch of the Kepets-ULM-c-Laserengraving family numerous users made very bad experiences with machines supplied by competitors, so the prejudice that excimer lasers are unreliable, cost-intensive and dangerous because of the premix gas, was born.

Due to our particular technologies and major improvements on our specific excimer-lasersources the Kepets-ULM-c-Laserengraving family could rebut this prejudice and prove extreme reliability, unbeatable operating efficiency and highest security.

In fact, the operational costs are considerably lower than with solid state lasers of similar wavelength. Excimer lasers need a specific gas for operation which up to now was stored in external gas cabinets supplied by piping, causing various dangers, sources of error and inadequacy. Thus the production line layout was literally cemented because any change would have caused tremendous effort and expense for new piping, flushing devices, security certifications, etc.

To underline our understanding of security, flexibility and efficiency we integrated a high-security-gasinstallation in the already compact built machine. Every machine holds a 20ltr premix cylindre, enough for 6-12 months operation. The high-security-gasinstallation provides absolute security, even in failure of energy, is not requiring flue and absorbes, due to a detailed hazard analyses any possible scenario of failure, including, thanks to a specific procedure, the change of the gas cylindres.

The highly modular and drift-free construction offers numerous docking facilities for handling, camera and other equipment as well as a brilliant base for optimisation to meet specific customer requirements.

The Kepets-ULM-c-Excimer-Laser engraves in perfect quality figures, letters and patterns from 10mm down to 0,04mm heights and diametre of points or lines down to 0,005mm. It is therefore the ideal solution for engraving and micro-engraving of optical components mineral or organic glasses -with or without hardcoat or ar-coat- contact lenses, mineral or metal molds or moldinserts.

Sapphir, diamond, nickel. stainless steel, aluminium, ceramic as well as many other materials are efficiently and economically engraved.

The reliable control unit and the sequence control system that is highly adaptable to individual needs, ensure easiest operation and networking.
A unique feature of the Kepets-ULM-c family is the integrated Kepets-Loading-Servo-System, that is loaded (manually or fully automatic) outside the machine. The floating seat (chuck) can be replaced by a different one within seconds without any adaption or adjustment. The tooling time to change from e.g. blocked lenses to unblocked molds is only a few seconds.

Regarding security, the Kepets-ULM-c machines set new standards. The security measures taken concerning laser security and machine security exceed by far the requirements of the most demanding authorities (e.g. the FDA in the USA). No other machine on the world market is coming close to this high security level. We launched an excimer laser engraving system that raised the bar for the market.
