Industrial and Fabrication Products

The Kern Difference

Kern Laser Systems has been a leading manufacturer of state-of-the-art laser cutting and engraving systems since 1982.

All Kern Laser systems are designed to handle a demanding production schedule. With endless possibilities, these high wattage industrial laser systems can be equipped with metal cutting technology for fabrication of thin gauge sheet metal.

Kern Laser Systems started by supplying motion systems for the existing computerized rotary engraving machines. As the sealed CO₂ lasers became commercially available, Kern incorporated its motion package with the laser, developing a complete turnkey laser cutting and engraving solution. Kern’s vision has always been to manufacture laser systems that will fit the customer’s needs, at an affordable price, with the versatility to suit a variety of industries.

OptiDual Lasers

The OptiDual Laser System was specially designed for customers that require a laser system capable of high production cutting. The OptiDual features two lasers mounted on a single gantry. The second laser is connected to the master laser by an adjustable bar. As the master laser is cutting a part, the second laser will be cutting the same part just inches away. Both lasers output power can be matched within the KCAM software. This ensures that the parts being produced are similar in size, accuracy and quality.
