Is the VLS3.75 the right fit?
The VLS3.75 is for businesses and schools that want a free-standing laser without moving to a large processing bed. It combines a 24 × 12-inch work area with more material clearance than the desktop models, opening up room for taller objects and fixtures. Its tool-free laser swap also gives you a way to revisit laser wattage as your applications change.
Where it fits
Engraving and personalization shops
Work with pieces that need more vertical clearance.
School workshops
Establish a dedicated laser station for recurring classes and projects.
Businesses with defined part sizes
Choose a platform around the work you actually produce.
Overview
About the VLS3.75
The VLS3.75 is the smallest size of the VLS Platform family: a free-standing laser with a 24 × 12 in work area and up to 8 in of material height (9 in with the 1.5″ lens). It takes one CO₂ laser from 10 to 75 W, at 10.6 µm or 9.3 µm, and the laser swaps without tools (Rapid Reconfiguration™), so you can change wattage later. It runs on a 110V/10A or 220–240V/5A circuit and needs one 4″ exhaust port with 250 CFM at 6 in static pressure.

Ownership
Equipment for the long term. Support beyond the sale.
A laser becomes part of how your business works—or how your students learn. Choosing one means thinking beyond the first project. Abernethy Beck can help you select a system for today’s work, then support ownership with replacement parts, optics, laser cartridge exchange options, and guidance as your needs change.
Have an application in mind?
Whether you’re considering VLS, PLS, or ULTRA, we can coordinate material testing with the Universal Laser Systems Applications Lab. Evaluate how your materials respond and review the results before selecting a system—especially valuable for demanding R&D and precision applications.

Exhaust for this laser
Exhaust requirement
One 4″ port · 250 CFM @ 6 in static pressure
The VLS3.75 needs exhaust airflow while it runs. You can vent it outside through ducting with a blower that meets this requirement. If you can’t vent outside, use a fume extractor: it filters the air and returns it to the room.
Questions
Questions about the VLS3.75
What does my site need for the VLS3.75?
Electrical: 110V/10A or 220–240V/5A. Exhaust: One 4″ port, 250 CFM @ 6 in static pressure. Software and computer: UCP driver, dedicated Windows PC (7–11), USB.
Do I need a fume extractor for the VLS3.75?
Not always. The VLS3.75 needs exhaust airflow while it runs (see the exhaust requirement in the specifications). You can vent it outside through ducting with a blower that meets that requirement. If you can’t vent outside, a fume extractor filters the air and returns it to the room. We can suggest one for your space.
Can I order with a purchase order?
Yes. Schools, labs, government buyers and companies can order on a purchase order. See quotes and purchase orders for how it works.
Can I finance this?
Yes. We work with several equipment-financing partners. See our equipment financing options for details and to get started.
I own an M, V or X series. Is there an upgrade path?
Yes. Universal’s migration program lets M, V and X series owners move to a new VLS or PLS and keep a compatible laser cartridge. See the migration program page for the details.
