Kern Laser Systems Exhibitor at ISG EXPO,
Kern Laser Systems was founded in 1982 by Gerald Kern, with the main objective to design and manufacture top-quality industrial laser cutting and laser engraving machines to meet demanding production schedules. The company headquarters are located in the beautiful lakes country of Minnesota. The facility consists of a modern 70,000 sq. ft. building with 50 full-time employees. Kern Laser Systems started by supplying motion systems for the existing computerized rotary engraving machines. As the sealed CO2 lasers became commercially available, Kern incorporated its motion package with the laser, developing a complete turnkey laser cutting and engraving solution. Kern’s vision has always been to manufacture laser systems that will fit the customer’s needs, at an affordable price, with the versatility to suit a variety of industries. Today, Kern Laser Systems is proudly owned and operated by the first and second generations of the Kern family. Our goal moving forward is to constantly improve our products, improve processing times and continue to offer our customers the best customer service in the laser industry.
Versatility and profitability go hand in hand with a Kern laser. Changing from cutting light metal to plastics takes only a few minutes. Cut wood, plastics, leather, and light metal with one machine, with virtually no downtime.
A Kern laser is not the typical laser in a box model. Rather, the flat open surface of a Kern laser allows access from all sides of the table making loading and unloading of material simple. Knowing you can house one machine that gives you the freedom to switch from job to job is called being efficient. With a Kern laser, you can give yourself the tools to maximize your shop time and exceed your customers’ expectations. That combination is something most shops cannot afford to be without.
