Laser cut copper sheet.

The automatic focusing height follower developed by kern laser systems is one of the key elements for optimal metal cutting. The metal cutting option allows for accurate cutting of sheet metals like stainless steel mild steel aluminum copper and brass. A computer directs this laser to follow the cutting line provided in your digital design. Mike klos laser mechanisms converting to millimeters that s 1550 watts mm 2.

We cut most metals including steel stainless steel aluminum copper brass and nickel. Laser cutting copper is a subtractive manufacturing technology that uses a high power laser beam to cut flat sheet materials. As a result copper can be used in kitchens as work surfaces splash backs trims push plates and more. The high precision laser vaporizes a cut line through the copper leaving a 90 degree high quality cut edge finish.
