Kern Laser Systems manufactures state-of-the-art CO2 and fiber laser equipment engineered to process acrylic, metal, wood, foam, and technical textiles. Built with heavy-duty steel frames, high-acceleration servo drives, and proprietary KCAM software, our platforms offer ±0.001" positional repeatability for international manufacturing operations.
Select from open-bed large-format systems, Class 2 fully enclosed safety cells, or multi-head high-throughput configurations tailored to your production demands.
Our most popular and versatile large-format CO2 laser cutter and engraver. Ideal for processing thick acrylic, wood, technical textiles, foam, and metal under continuous multi-shift production schedules.
Combines full industrial CO2 laser performance with an interlocked Class 2 safety enclosure. Designed for busy plant environments, research centers, and shared production floors needing maximum operator safety.
High-speed Class 2 fiber laser cutter dedicated to precision metal fabrication. Engineered to cut stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, and copper with minimal assist gas consumption.
Equipped with dual laser heads mounted on a single heavy-duty gantry. Multiplies production speed while maintaining part-to-part consistency across wide-format sheet goods.
Compact format laser system featuring the same high-power super-pulsed CO2 sources as our large-format models. Engineered for shops requiring high power in a space-saving footprint.
Provides an accessible entry point to large-format CO2 laser cutting and engraving without compromising structural integrity, laser source quality, or motion accuracy.
Comprehensive engineering metrics to help overseas procurement teams qualify the right laser configuration for their production line.

Every Kern system features a heavy-duty steel chassis welded, stress-relieved, and machined in Wadena, Minnesota. Built with high-grade motion components, closed-loop servo drives, and in-house engineered CO2 laser sources, our machines deliver continuous 24/7 reliability with ±0.001 inch positioning accuracy for global buyers.
CO2 platforms (such as OptiFlex, LaserCELL, EcoFlex, and Micro) excel at processing organic materials, plastics, acrylics, wood, foam, and non-ferrous substrates. Fiber platforms (such as FiberCELL) are specifically optimized for rapid, high-precision cutting of reflective and ferrous metals, including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, and copper.
Kern-built CO2 laser sources include an industry-leading 3-year factory warranty. We support our international client base with comprehensive factory diagnostics, direct technician assistance, fast spare parts delivery, and established global distribution partners.
Yes. Hybrid OptiFlex configurations integrate both CO2 and Fiber laser technology onto a single motion gantry. This allows operators to process non-metallic sheet goods and thin sheet metals without switching equipment or fixtures.
