Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, the ULS hardware and software engineers are a dedicated team and leaders in the field of laser machine technology. Their innovation and proven engineering design shows in each and every Universal Laser System built.
Here are some of the reasons you should consider a Universal Laser System:

Universal CO2 Laser Tube Advantage
Universal Laser Systems (ULS) is the only manufacturer that makes both the CO2 laser tube and chassis. They have a multi patented air cooled laser tube design that is easy to upgrade and requires no tools or costly technicians to come to your location for beam alignment or replacement purposes, unlike our competitors machines.

The patented "Perm-Align" design offers cross platform compatibility, meaning the tubes can be easily interchanged between systems giving the end user unlimited flexibility. The laser system you buy now can grow with your needs to meet your future demands. Universal Laser cartridges are tuned specifically for engraving and cutting applications. They are not general-purpose lasers adapted for laser engraving and cutting.

With ULS you get the best quality engraving and cutting possible from a superior laser machine.

Lowest CO2 recharge cost
ULS has the lowest CO2 recharge cost in the industry because they make their own laser tube. The recharge cost is 1/3 to 1/2 as much as competitors. Competitors have to integrate 3rd party laser tubes from outside sources with no control of price or availability. Universal is in control of the entire process providing you peace of mind knowing laser, chassis, and interface software come from the same company.

Universal Printer Driver Advantage
The ULS software driver was written in house by a dedicated team of software engineers specifically for the needs of laser processing. It offers the most feature rich and robust driver on the market. Key features include:

Colour assigned power, speed, PPI (pulses per inch) settings along with patented proportional pulsing, giving superior beam control.
Raster, Vector, Skip colour toggle control
6 image density settings from 200-1000 dpi for the ultimate in quality and throughput control.
Load/Save material profiles for quick job set ups
Normal, Clipart, 3D, Rubber Stamp, Invert, and Mirror Modes
Scaling, Vector optimization and image output directional control
Automatic file compression requiring less memory and increased data transfer speed.
Adjustable Rubber Stamp shouldering either by pre-defined settings or user customised
Photo engraving feature utilizing halftone, error diffusion or B/W.

Largest Choice of Models
Universal offers the most comprehensive selection of laser machines in the industry - one size does not fit all.

Every application is unique to your situation and we stand ready to provide the right machine at the right price thus giving you the most value for your pound. ULS offer 8 separate models with up to 20 different power configurations.
