Not all laser systems can
cut metal. The Kern Laser System can cut mild
steel and stainless steel with the same table
used to cut and engrave wood and plastics. Kern
has developed a unique automatic focusing assembly,
software and special optics that allow the laser
to cut mild steel,
stainless steel, shim stock and nickel. The automatic
height follower can set the nozzle at .020”
above the metal surface and maintain that distance
even if the metal is uneven.

Metal
cutting with KERN Lasers in table sizes
up to 52" x 100"
The
Metal Cutting
Option Include:
|
•An
automatic Z movement
that raises and lowers the
optics tube over the metal
being cut
•
A height follower controller
that controls the distance
sensed from the nozzle to
the metal sheet
•Optics nozzle
• User settable parameters
in the KCAM software to
control piercing delays,
modulation frequencies,
laser power and speed
• Etching into metal can be
done with or without spray
chemicals applied depending on the desired
look.
All cutting and etching of
metal requires oxygen as an
assist gas. This can be connected into the
laser system through a quick coupler located
on the back of the laser table.
