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.
