RC Series CNC Router Features

Industrial Precision Frame

ShopSabre CNC Frames are FEA Engineered and Tested constructed from Massive 4x4 Structural Steel Tubes which are Welded for added rigidity. Each RC Series Frame comes with 6 Legs to giving you more floor contact and better vibration control. Each Leg is cross braced and reinforced with a Steel Side Panel to add additional stiffness to increase the rigidity!

RC Series CNC Router Features

Closed Loop Motors

ShopSabre RC Machines come standard with Heavy Duty Industrial Closed Loop motors with encoders for Higher Speeds, Higher Accuracy, and Less Maintenance Self Monitoring Encoder Technology provides extreme performance Closed Loop Motors eliminate the Missed Steps, Loss of Accuracy, and Loss of Torque!

RC Series CNC Router Features

Inverted Advanced Drive Technology

ShopSabre RC Series machines are Driven by XY Axis large rack and pinion with ShopSabre Exclusive inverted Floating drive gear engagement technology. This technology allows your rack and pinion to reduce debris contamination while self-aligning for wear. This will increase the performance of the gear, increase gear life, and reduce your maintenance.

RC Series CNC Router Features

Aero Space Milling Technology

ShopSabre CNC Gantry Systems are Run through some of the worlds most advanced processes to assure they are accurate including Precision Milling of contact surfaces for Bearing & Rail Placement. A machine can only be as accurate as its foundation so the Frame on a ShopSabre is built to a tolerance above the competition.

RC Series CNC Router Features

Vacuum Performance

The Vacuum Option on the ShopSabre RC Series gives you quick and easy zone control with integrated hard pipe connection for increased air flow and the reserve tank built into the frame to assure your vacuum stays consistent!

RC Series CNC Router Features
Super Z Technology

ShopSabre RC Machines are available with the Super Z Technology designed here at ShopSabre CNC. Thanks in part to our FEA Engineered Z system. Our tool plate stiffener technology and our upgraded High Torque Z Axis Closed Loop Motor Control System and Air Balancer Technology giving you some of the quickest Tool Changes, Drill Cycles, and 3D motion in the class!

Precision Linear Guide Technology

ShopSabre CNC uses the latest in CNC Bearing Technology with 25MM Linear Guide Rails and Bearings on all Axis. Each axis has 4 Large Body Quad Bearing rollers with wipers to increase the performance of your machine. These Bearings assure the surfaces stay clean while increasing the machine rigidity under load which results in increased performance and reduced maintenance in large part due to the ball bearing technology!

Industrial Precision Gantry

Just like our Frames, our gantry construction is constructed of massive heavy wall 4x10 Tubes that have been FEA Designed and Tested to provide higher cutting forces and less vibration. The Bearing Spacing on our gantries are larger than competitions machines to better handle the routing forces while increasing cut speeds.

Industrial Gantry Uprights

Like everything on a ShopSabre, the Gantry uprights are also more industrial. Using High Quality North American Structural Steel these uprights increase the bridge clearance to 8 Standard and provide more rigidity for better cutting quality and versatility.
