Dear Valued Coherent Meta User,
We want to share an important update regarding your laser system.
Coherent Incorporated has officially discontinued parts and service support for the Meta 2C, Meta 3C, and Meta 4C laser cutters. While this marks the end of OEM support, it does not mean the end of your system’s productivity, reliability, or service life.
At Photovac Laser Corporation, we are fully prepared to step in and ensure your equipment continues to operate at peak performance.
