EcoFlex Laser System

Ecoflex - Large Format Laser Cutter & Engraver

Kern’s team re-engineered our previous generation HSE machine, standardizing many components and saving costs all without sacrificing quality. Many of the high-quality components used on our high-performance line are also used on the EcoFlex, including the laser, power supplies, vacuum blowers and computer system. These efforts have paid off big for our customers as we launch this new workhorse laser system designed for non-metal cutting applications.

Optional Packages

K-Vision Camera

The K-Vision Camera package is a fully integrated hardware and software solution allowing fast and accurate cutting of printed materials.

This process starts with a nozzle mounted camera which automatically measures the dimensions between registration marks on printed materials. The system then uses these measurements and the registration marks of the original cutting file to compensate for distortion and rotation. The slight adjustments that k-vision makes to the cutting file results in a perfectly matched cutout in the material being processed. The entire camera system can be easily removed and stored in a protective box when not in use.

To learn more about the K-Vision Camera package please watch this video and visit our K-Vision Camera page.

Z12 Monument Package

EcoFlex Z12 Laser Etcher

The Z12 Monument Laser System is a precision-engineered solution designed specifically for the monument and stone engraving industry. Built on a robust platform, the Z12 delivers powerful CO₂ laser performance capable of engraving intricate artwork, text, and portraits directly onto granite, marble, and other stone surfaces with unmatched detail and consistency. Its user-friendly interface and spacious work area make it ideal for handling large memorial pieces, headstones, and signage. Whether you’re producing custom tributes or detailed architectural engravings, the Z12 combines durability, speed, and accuracy to elevate your craftsmanship and expand your capabilities.

A removable 52″ x 25″ vacuum table is included as part of the Z12 monument package. This portable table allows shorter materials to be placed on the working bed like our standard EcoFlex model. Urn engraving is a common application performed on this table.

 

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

ABOUT KCAM LASER SOFTWARE

KCAM® is a laser cutting and engraving software package developed by Kern’s in-house software development team. Through years of research and customer feedback, KCAM has developed into an industry-leading laser control software.

KCAM can be linked with popular design softwares such as CorelDRAW®, AutoCAD® and Adobe Illustrator®, allowing for hundreds of file types to be processed. A convenient user interface provides operators with complete control of the laser systems cutting and engraving parameters. Kern’s customers have access to the latest KCAM software upgrades from our website.

Whether you’re cutting thick acrylic or a thin delicate textile, be ensured that KCAM will provide you with the laser control required for quick and accurate results.

A macro within CorelDRAW® automatically sends your artwork to KCAM® with the click of a single button. KCAM® is also capable of directly opening common file types such as .dxf, .pdf, G-CODE and many more.

Other popular CAD softwares such as AutoCAD LT®, Adobe Illustrator® and Solidworks® can be used to automatically load files into KCAM®.

Customized Pierce Settings. The dwell time, laser power, frequency, focus point and air flow can be set independently from your normal cut settings. This feature ensures metals are cut clean with minimal to no dross.

Air Control. Compressed shop air, oxygen or nitrogen can be hooked up to the laser system for optimal processing results on a variety of laserable materials.

Vector Path Speed Control. KCAM mimics a race car by slowing the cutting speed into sharp corners and accelerating out of them. The result is smooth, consistent cutting with the tap of your mouse.

Cut Optimizer. Decrease your programming time by letting KCAM automatically determine the fastest cut order for your most complicated designs.

Time Estimator. Provide accurate pricing to your customers by knowing the amount of laser processing time before the product even makes it to the laser bed.

Tool Offset. A simple inside/outside offset can be set to compensate for the laser beam kerf. This results in precisely sized parts without modification of your original part drawings.
