ShopSabre 23 CNC Router Features

Industrial Precision Frame

ShopSabre CNC frames are FEA-engineered and tested, constructed from massive structural steel tubes that are welded for added rigidity. Each ShopSabre 23 Series frame comes with two large, laterally braced tube legs, providing more floor contact and better vibration control.

ShopSabre 23 CNC Router Features

Advanced Drive Motors

ShopSabre 23 machines come standard with high-torque industrial-grade motors for higher accuracy, greater cutting torque, and less maintenance. Each drive motor is specifically FEA-paired to the machine for optimal output and torque, ensuring no need for additional air to operate, regardless of the options selected.

ShopSabre 23 CNC Router Features

Aerospace Milling Technology

ShopSabre CNC frames are run through some of the world’s most advanced processes to ensure accuracy, including precision milling of contact surfaces for bearing and 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.

ShopSabre 23 CNC Router Features

Ball Screw Technology

ShopSabre 23 machines come standard with 3-axis ball screw drives, providing twice the rigidity of competing machines and unprecedented performance. The ball screw technology used by ShopSabre is the latest in the industry, offering less backlash than rack-and-pinion systems. Thanks to the compact design of the ShopSabre 23, there is no concern about whip. This technology increases cutting accuracy and provides superior edge finishes, lasting 3 to 4 times longer than comparable machines with minimal maintenance required.

ShopSabre 23 CNC Router Features

HiFlow Vacuum Technology

ShopSabre CNC HiFlow Vacuum Technology increases surface flow by up to 50% over the competition, resulting in higher holding pressures, greater power, and better performance. Each vacuum table on the 23 Series is milled at the factory by the machine’s cutting head, reducing the need for gaskets and bolts to secure the spoil board. Our exclusive HiFlow grid makes nested manufacturing a breeze.

Super Z Technology

ShopSabre 23 machines are available with the Super Z Technology, designed here at ShopSabre CNC. This technology increases Z-axis rigidity, thanks to our FEA-engineered stiffener technology for tool plate strength. The upgraded Z motor, included as standard, makes it easy to upgrade to a higher-torque spindle without requiring an air compressor.

Precision Linear Guide Technology

ShopSabre CNC uses the latest in CNC bearing technology, featuring 25mm linear guide rails and bearings on all axes. Each axis has four large-body quad-bearing rollers with wipers, ensuring surfaces stay clean while increasing machine rigidity under load. This results in improved performance and reduced maintenance, largely due to the ball bearing technology.

Industrial Precision Gantry

Just like our frames, our gantry construction is made from massive heavy-wall tubes that have been FEA-designed and tested to provide higher cutting forces and less vibration. The bearing spacing on our gantries is larger than that of competing machines, allowing them to better handle routing forces while increasing cut speeds.

Industrial Gantry Uprights

Like everything on a ShopSabre, the gantry uprights are designed to be more industrial. Using high-quality North American steel plates, these uprights are attached to a milled surface and welded for increased rigidity, enhancing cutting quality, accuracy, and versatility.

Gantry Overhang

The ShopSabre 23 comes standard with a right-side gantry overhang, allowing larger work to be performed off the table. This feature makes adding a 4th axis, creating vertical dovetails, or fixturing quick and easy!
