Kern Laser Systems laser settings: 7 machines, 8 sources, 527 settings

The 7 referenced Kern Laser Systems machines

Every Kern Laser Systems machine is listed with its laser sources: wattage changes everything, a 10 W diode and a 40 W diode do not cut the same plywood. EcoFlex (CO2 150W): 86 settings · FiberCELL (Fibre 3000W): 13 settings · HSE (CO2 150W): 86 settings · LaserCELL (Fibre 3000W, CO2 650W): 84 settings · Micro (CO2 150W): 86 settings · OptiDual (CO2 650W): 86 settings · OptiFlex (CO2 150W): 86 settings.

In total 527 settings are published for this brand across 8 laser sources: for each machine, source, material and thickness combination you get power in percent, speed in mm/min, a pass count and whether air assist is needed.

How to use a Kern Laser Systems setting

A setting is a starting point, not an absolute truth: the lens, mirror cleanliness, the exact wood species and humidity all move the result. Run a small test square on an offcut of the same board first, then adjust speed before power — speed is the forgiving one.

If your Kern Laser Systems machine is missing, you can request it: the catalogue watch checks the brand's new releases every week and settings are generated as soon as a model is referenced.
