LaserCELL Enclosed Laser System
Industrial Grade CO2 & Fiber Laser Cutting and Engraving Machine with Full Safety Protection
High Performance Meets Uncompromised Safety
The LaserCELL is Kern Laser Systems' premier Class 2 enclosed laser cutting and engraving machine. Engineered specifically for high-traffic environments—such as busy production floors, university laboratories, and shared industrial facilities—the LaserCELL delivers maximum processing power without compromising operator safety.
Built around a heavy-duty, one-piece steel weldment in Minnesota, USA, the LaserCELL features interlocked safety doors on the front, back, and sides, providing 360-degree accessibility for rapid material handling and quick maintenance routines.
- Class 2 Enclosure Compliance: Fully enclosed work environment allows deployment near personnel without dedicated laser room infrastructure.
- HyperDual High-Speed Motion: Rack and pinion drive system powered by closed-loop dual servo motors for exceptional acceleration and edge accuracy.
- CO2 & Metal Cutting Versatility: Configurable with laser sources from 100W up to 650W to process acrylic, wood, foam, and sheet metals.

Standard Factory-Integrated Features
Every LaserCELL system is delivered fully assembled and calibrated from our Minnesota manufacturing plant with essential turnkey subsystems.
Super-Pulsed CO2 Laser Source
Super pulse laser technology built in-house delivers peak energy burst for clean cutting of thick acrylics and reduced heat affect on metals.
Closed-Loop Industrial Chiller
Dedicated chilling package monitors and controls laser source thermal levels to maximize tube lifespan and maintain stable beam power output.
Integrated Downdraft Table
High-vacuum downdraft table holds thin sheet stock perfectly flat while exhausting fumes and airborne particulate below the cutting plane.
UL Certified Electrical Panel
Built to strict safety guidelines, every electrical cabinet carries UL/CUL certification with optional CE compliance for international markets.
HyperDual Motion Servo Package
High-speed dual servo drives mounted on precision ground linear rails deliver precise contouring without chatter or corner deceleration burn.
KCAM Control & CAD Workstation
Includes an industrial PC workstation, adjustable ergonomic monitor arm, native KCAM software, and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite suite pre-installed.
360-Degree Access Enclosure
Counter-balanced sliding doors at the front, rear, and sides allow effortless material loading, fixture placement, and optic maintenance.
Factory Operator Training
Comprehensive 2-day hands-on operational, safety, maintenance, and software training course at the Kern factory in Wadena, Minnesota, USA.
Modular Production Upgrades
Enhance your LaserCELL system with specialized processing hardware designed for high-mix manufacturing.
Sheet Metal Cutting Package
Equips CO2 platforms with auto-capacitive height tracking and high-pressure assist gas injection (Nitrogen, Oxygen, Clean Dry Air). Cut stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, and brass with dross-free edges requiring zero secondary deburring.
K-Vision Camera Registration
Gantry-mounted digital vision system captures preprinted registration fiducials. Software algorithms automatically adjust cut lines to compensate for sheet distortion, stretch, and rotation in preprinted graphic applications.
Pipe & Tube Rotary Attachment
High-resolution servo-driven Chuck Rotary or Wheel Rotary assemblies process cylindrical metal tubing, pipes, and wooden posts. Easily swap between flat table processing and rotary operations.
Fume Extraction & Spark Arrestor
Multi-stage filtration recirculates clean air back into your facility, eliminating external roof ducting requirements. Optional inline spark arrestor protects filter elements during metal cutting operations.
