Hi there! We do not have DFB lasers.

Yes, we have many customers etching and cutting acrylic sheets for backlighting applications.

The laser system will engrave any style of artwork you input. Artwork can be purchased from www.gantryco.com or designed custom.

Pricing depends on the few factors such as laser wattage, table size, and add-ons installed. Please visit our website to request a quote of a machine specific to your needs: kernlasers.com/request-a-quote/

Yes, our CO2 lasers of at least 300 watts and our fiber lasers will cut this material very nicely!

​@@Kernlasersystemsplease make a video on this material. It would greatly help to understand the complexity of a cut that won't damage the top layer on the Durablack material.

I uploaded a short 60 second clip of our KT250 laser cutting .020" Durablack. Please check it out: kzbin.info6HzUQpSYV_A?si=ONj2M-q6q9UQSqjt

Unfortunately, the stone will be too hard for this type of engraving.

Yes, the clips shown in this video are being shown in real-time.

An air hose kit is provided to tie the Fire Warden into the knife air hookups. They run through the top gantry exhaust ports.

@@Kernlasersystems Good to know. Thanks!

Thank you Tim!

Hello! Any file type that you can get into CorelDRAW or Illustrator will work great for 3D. We use our post processor to export into our software as a .PDF file. Water works, but you need to use a minimal amount, otherwise you will get warping. There are other ways to clean them out that do not include water. Kern does have auto-focus. For engraving we generally use a 2.5" FL lens in our own lens assembly. I hope this answer your questions!

Thank you! Kern's KCAM software along with our laser power control allows us to achieve great detail when engraving!

Thank you!

I think the video doesn't show the smoke very well. There is a little bit but our top vacuum picks that up. The wood used is locally sourced 3/8" maple. It does seem to laser very clean.

KCAM is only compatible with Kern's laser machines.

When cut properly with nitrogen assist gas, the edge will appear shiny and the same color as the brass itself.

Sorry for the late reply. If you have the right software and system, you would be able to do this with a low-wattage laser tube 30w to 50w would work fine, but you would have to go really slow to produce the depth. our lowest wattage is 100w (traveling about 10 to 15 inches per second, at 80% power.)

This process does not work for metals. It works great for softer materials like foam, wood and some platics.

Fiber laser might be able to do this. This is a Co2 laser that only cuts into certain surfaces.

Hello, yes you can mark raw metal with a marking spray like Cermark!

Hello, please contact us at [email protected] and we can put you in touch with a local partner.

If you look closely there is some burning of the interior opposite side. However, the beam is defocused and wouldn't have enough power to cut through. You can cut this with a 100W laser!

@@Kernlasersystems Ahh, I see it now, I guess you could leave the seeds n guts in if you want a real clean background inside. It engraved well too.

Machines start at about $65,000 USD. Please contact our friendly sales department to discuss the correct setup for your application!

CorelDRAW is a great graphics design software, but you can use anything that will export a PDF or DXF file.

Yes, we do need 70% power. Aluminum is very reflective to laser energy and requires more power than a metal like steel.

Yes the video is real-time speed. To get the engraving depth you are limited by the lase wattage well before you are limited by speed of the machine. So, if you use a larger laser (500W, 650W) you could increase your speed and maintain the same engraving depth.

This was a 6lb. polyethylene tool foam!

To determine if your material is safe to cut, we recommend you contact the manufacturer of your insulation foam and check the SDS specifications. Information on whether there are toxins when burned should be on that sheet!

Foamular from Home Depot is safe as it is Polystyrene. Do not use the white Pro Select as it is made with polyisocyanurate (polyiso).

If you fill out this request a quote form, kernlasers.com/request-a-quote/ a salesman will reach out and be happy to help you! Thank you!

Here is the website, www.allfoam.com

If you mean using a wider nozzle, it is simply just purchasing this part.

We do have some distributors in Asia. Here Is a link to a map of all our distributors across the world. kernlasers.com/where-to-buy/

Hello, we buy the artwork from www.gantryco.com. I hope this helps!

Our lasers do a great job on thinner phenolics, the price would be determined by the configuration of the laser system. Please contact our sales team at [email protected] for additional information!

Hello Anton, the short answer is... if you want to just cut metal then the fiber laser systems will offer greater cutting ability and speed when compared directly to our CO2 lasers. However, if you also want to cut organics like wood, plastic, foam , etc. then our CO2 laser is probably a better fit. In regards to 1.5mm stainless and carbon steel, our 500W and 650W CO2 lasers would cut these metals very nicely. However, the speed of cut with our 1kW fiber will be roughly 1.5 - 2 times faster. If you want to talk about this more in detail please feel free to call us toll free at 1-888-660-2755. Thank You!

@@Kernlasersystems thank you a lot for answer, that was very helpful!

They have one for every budget, check the K40`s? I started there....
