Rack-and-pinion motion package added to laser system

Kern Laser Systems has introduced its latest OptiFlex laser system. The redesigned, large-format system is equipped with the company’s HyperDual motion package, which features a rack-and-pinion gear system at each side of the laser system with dual Y-axis servo motors.

Cut acceleration rates are up to three times faster with a 100 percent increase in top-end vector speed, the manufacturer states. The X axis has been upgraded with twin linear rails and a thicker steel reinforced belt.
