Description

The ShopSabre IS Series features an oversized structural tube steel, one-piece welded frame construction with a massive structural steel tube gantry design. Competing against machines that retail well beyond $100,000, the IS Series delivers advanced CNC capabilities at a fraction of the cost!

Each machine is engineered with FEA (Finite Element Analysis), aerospace milled, and laser-calibrated to ensure precision and accuracy from the ground up. Our IS Series CNC router features upgraded stack steel construction and comes equipped with the industry’s most advanced drive technology – anti-backlash ball screws on all axes, featuring ShopSabre’s “Whip-Free” technology. The IS Series also includes advanced AC digital servo motors with matching amplifiers and glass encoder technology. These features enhance cutting quality, cutting forces, and overall machine accuracy. Unlike similarly priced competitors, this machine has absolutely no rack-and-pinion drives, giving you a clear advantage over the competition.

ShopSabre machines are built to outlast and outperform. No matter how much you use your CNC router, the ShopSabre IS Series delivers the precision you need every time. Perfect for high-production or heavy-cutting applications, this state-of-the-art IS Series offers three sizes to fit your needs: 4’x8’, 5’x10’, and 6’x12’.

Industrial Series (IS) CNC Routers Features

Industrial Precision Frame

ShopSabre CNC frames are FEA-engineered and tested. Created here in Lakeville, Minnesota, they are constructed from massive, oversized structural tube steel, aerospace milled for accuracy, and welded for rigidity. Our stacked and welded design adds rigidity, providing more floor contact and better vibration control. Internally, the large tubes are cross-braced and stiffened to increase lateral rigidity.

Industrial Series (IS) CNC Routers Features

Digital A/C Servo Motors

ShopSabre IS Series machines come standard with AC digital closed-loop servo motors for higher speeds, greater accuracy, and less maintenance. Self-monitoring glass encoder technology provides extreme performance, delivering some of the top-rated servo technology in the world!

Industrial Series (IS) CNC Routers Features

Aerospace Milling Technology

ShopSabre CNC frames are processed through some of the world’s most advanced methods to ensure accuracy, including precision milling of contact surfaces for bearing and rail placement, as well as ball screw mounts. A machine can only be as accurate as its foundation, so the frame on a ShopSabre is built to a tolerance above the competition.

Industrial Series (IS) CNC Routers Features

Ball Screw Technology

ShopSabre IS machines come standard with 3-axis ball screw drives. The Y-axis (long axis) features twin screws, providing 7 times more rigidity than competing machines and unprecedented performance. ShopSabre’s ball screw technology offers less backlash than rack and pinion and, thanks to our Whip-Free technology, increases cutting accuracy and delivers superior edge finishes. This ball screw technology can outlast most comparable machines by as much as 3 to 4 times, with very little maintenance required.

Industrial Series (IS) CNC Routers Features

Vacuum Performance

The vacuum option on the ShopSabre IS Series provides quick and easy zone control with an integrated hard pipe connection for increased airflow and a reserve tank built into the frame to ensure consistent vacuum performance.

Industrial Series (IS) CNC Routers Features
HiFlow Vacuum Technology

ShopSabre CNC HiFlow vacuum technology increases surface flow by up to 50% over the competition, resulting in higher holding pressures, increased power, and improved performance. Each vacuum table on the IS Series is milled at the factory by your 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 IS machines are available with Super Z technology, designed here at ShopSabre CNC. This feature increases your Z-axis travel to 16 inches while maintaining incredible rigidity, thanks to our FEA-engineered stiffener technology for tool plate strength, along with our Z-axis servo motor control system and air balancer technology. These elements enable some of the quickest tool changes and drilling cycles in their class!

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 is equipped with 4 large-body quad bearing rollers with wipers, enhancing machine performance. These bearings help keep surfaces clean while increasing machine rigidity under load, resulting in better performance and reduced maintenance due to the ball bearing technology.

Industrial Precision Gantry

Just like our frames, our gantry construction is built from massive, heavy-wall 6x12 tubes that have been FEA-designed and tested to provide greater cutting forces and reduced vibration. The bearing spacing on our gantries is larger than that of competing machines, allowing it to handle routing forces better and increase cut speeds.

Industrial Gantry Uprights

Like everything on a ShopSabre, the gantry uprights are also industrial-grade. Made from high-quality North American structural steel, these uprights increase the bridge clearance to a standard 12 inches and provide added rigidity for better cutting quality and versatility.
