Common questions about the Meteor 4030 & Meteor Series
The Meteor series offers different sizes and configurations:
All models feature Arduino or LinuxCNC control, carbon fiber superstructure, and are designed for DIY, hobby, and even 24/7 continuous use when needed.
The Meteor series is ideal for soft materials: ABS, Polycarbonate, Acrylic, Wood, MDF, PCB, Epoxy, Graphite, Carbon Fiber, Fiber Glass, Composites and other soft metals & plastics. It is perfect for prototyping, PCB manufacturing, and hobby projects.
Certified Repeat Positioning Accuracy: < 50 microns
Tested Repeat
Positioning Accuracy: 15–25 microns (0.015 – 0.025 mm)
All measurements are done with
Mitutoyo calibrated instruments.
Single Phase input – 220V or 110V
Only 16 Amp plug point is required. No 3-phase power needed.
Yes! The machine ships fully assembled. The Arduino version connects via USB to any Windows 10/11 laptop (GSender or UGS software provided). No installation required. LinuxCNC models come with pre-installed PC.

• Lifetime warranty on composite superstructure
• Optional extended
warranty & AMC up to 10 years
• ISO 9001 & CE Certified
Arduino Controller (most Meteor models): USB connection to Windows laptop + GSender / UGS
software (open source, links provided).
LinuxCNC (HD models): Full desktop PC with
monitor, keyboard & mouse included. Fully G-code compatible (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, etc.).
Yes! You can add:
• Diode Laser (10W standard, upgradable to 20W/30W/40W/60W on DUO models)
• Fully
Transparent Enclosure
• Bellows, Z-Axis Tool Sensor, and more.
Configure the Meteor 4030 for your exact material, accuracy, and shop-floor workflow with factory-integrated upgrades and accessories.
High-frequency Italian industrial spindle with dual angular-contact front bearings for increased axial and radial stiffness during sustained milling.
Switchable multi-diode optical power heads for cutting and engraving. LightBurn Software License included in bundle (pre-installed & pre-configured if Control PC is purchased from Akriti; else license key provided).
Specialized 1064nm infrared module for direct metal marking, brass engraving, jewellery, and opaque plastics. Includes LightBurn Software License (pre-installed with Akriti Control PC add-on, or delivered via license key).
Machine-dependent Teknic ClearPath-SD (SDSK models) integrated brushless DC servo motors replacing standard steppers for closed-loop accuracy, silent operation, and zero lost steps. Ships with 3-Year Warranty.
Choose between LinuxCNC Industrial PC Console, Windows 11 PC with gSender (3-Axis only), or Made-in-India standalone 4-axis CNC controllers (Tiny Controls TNC-M34 and TNC-M24) for PC-free operation.
Model-dependent transparent polycarbonate safety enclosure engineered to contain airborne fine dust, chip spray, and high-RPM spindle noise in R&D labs, offices, and academic workshops.
Custom-fitted accordion way covers shielding linear guides and ball screws from abrasive chips and fine dust. Technical Note: Installing way bellows reduces total working area by approximately 10%.
Optional Mist Coolant (MQL) and Flood Coolant upgrades for the Meteor series to lubricate cutting edges, prevent chip re-welding, and extend tool life when machining aluminium, brass, and plastics.
Automated workpiece datum finding or Z-axis tool length measurement. Any one of these units (either a 3D Touch Probe or an Auto Tool Setter) can be integrated on the machine.
Model-dependent workholding and clamping upgrades including low-profile precision machine vises, compound vises for prismatic blocks, and vacuum bed kits for thin sheet stock.
Fabricated mild steel machine base stand with anti-vibration leveling mounts and lower utility shelf, converting the benchtop Meteor 4030 into a dedicated floor-standing workstation.
Comprehensive Extended Warranty and Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) available for up to 10 additional years after the primary warranty expires. Contact Akriti for custom coverage details.
