Flexible Small Format Laser System
Small Format / Entry Level
The only thing “small” about our MICRO is its table size, as it can be equipped with the same powerful CO2 lasers as our large format models. The MICRO comes standard with high-speed engraving technology and a moving Y-axis bed for fast, accurate vector cutting. The MICRO laser system is a flexible laser solution, consuming minimal floor space in your facility.

Metal Cutting
Kern’s CO2 laser systems can be equipped with innovative metal cutting technology. The metal cutting option allows for accurate cutting of sheet metals like stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, and brass.
Air Assist
High Pressure assist gas, such as oxygen, CDA(clean dry air) or nitrogen, is injected through the metal cutting nozzle. The result is a dross free cut edge that requires little to no deburring.
Auto-Focusing
As the cutting process begins, the height follower tracks the surface of the metal and adjust the nozzle in the z-axis maintaining a constant focus point while the metal is being cut.

Case Study - Laser Etch Technologies, Buffalo, MN
Owner Tim Pawelk of “Laser Etch Technologies” roots run deep with Kern Laser Systems. A customer since 1999, Laser Etch currently uses four Kern lasers that have been instrumental in achieving worldwide attention. Such projects included teaming up with renowned Tibetan artist Rinchen Dorgee. Dorgee was instrumental in the creation of the throne the Dalai Lama used during his visit to Minneapolis/St. Paul in May of 2001. The throne was also recently used for His Holiness when he visited Minneapolis this year to celebrate the Tibetan New Year.
Around Minnesota, Tim has also done amazing work. Most notably, his wood etching and engraving can be seen in the Legends Club area located at Target Field, the home of the Minnesota Twins.
Baseball fans would recognize Pawelk’s grand slam work located at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins. This creative wonder that includes both etching and engraving can be seen in the Legends Club and press box areas of the stadium.
