ShopSabre CNC Plasma Cutting Machines

Slice through the toughest materials and handle the most challenging jobs with a CNC plasma machine from ShopSabre. Combining ShopSabre quality with efficient plasma machining means more productivity for your shop.

CNC Plasma Benefits

Plasma allows a CNC machine to cut metal in virtually any shape, producing curves and angles with ease. Precision nozzles and tightly controlled plasma arcs keep edges clean.
In the ShopSabre series of CNC machines, plasma cutters are combined with top of the line G-code generators and software controls. This union of power and finesse makes ShopSabre CNC plasma cutters capable of near laser quality cuts. Clean and efficient fabrication of heavy and tough materials add value to your finished product, while reducing your overhead on time, labor and other expenses.
A ShopSabre CNC plasma cutter is built tough, because downtime equals headache time for your shop and for the accounting department. We build every ShopSabre in house so that each one of our CNC machines can deliver rock solid performance hour after hour, day after day. The ShopSabre is made in the USA from start to finish, with no compromises.

Testimonial:

I just received my ShopSabre 7214 Plasma with a water table. I am impressed. This thing is definitely built strong. I have built machinery before and it is like I would do it. Great Job Guys

CNC Plasma Cutter Applications
Saving time and increasing productivity does not mean compromising on versatility. The precision and power of a plasma CNC machine makes a wide variety of machining and engraving tasks possible:


• Bevel cuts
• Interrupted cuts
• Hole cutting and piercing
• Hot machining
• Many more, email for more details


The Shop Sabre automated plasma cutter slices through metals without leaving excessive amounts of molten material attached to the finished piece. The high velocity cutting gasses blow unwanted metal away from the kerf, yielding excellent quality pieces that require very little post-cutting prep work.


• Conductive metals
• Mild steels
• Steel alloys
• Aluminum


Get the edge on your competition and put a ShopSabre to work for you. For more details about ShopSabre CNC plasma cutting machines, call toll free at 1-800-493-6021 or email for an in-depth look at the specs and capabilities of these industrial grade machines.

What type of plasma unit do you need?

The higher the amperage output of the plasma cutter, the greater the duty cycle is at lesser amperages. If you plan to use the machine more than six hours a day, you should consider a larger plasma unit than you would typically use on your material. If you will be using your machine frequently, but not continuously, consider a unit that is capable of cutting the thickest material you are likely to work with.

Plasma Height Control Option

The plasma height control is an advanced height control system providing exceptional performance and value for conventional plasma shape cutting applications.

The plasma height control utilizes arc voltage sensing and microprocessor technology to automatically detect the plate and maintain torch position at a desired set point during plasma cutting operations. This reduces operator input and improves accuracy, cut quality, and productivity.

Plasma advantages vs. laser
Significantly higher productivity
Increases flexibility to cut a wide range of material thickness and types
Significantly lower capital, operating and maintenance costs

Cut quality

Good angularity Large heat-affected zone Dross levels require rework Not effective on stainless steel or aluminum

Excellent angularity

Small heat-affected zone

Virtually dross-free

Good to excellent fine-feature cutting.

Excellent angularity

Small heat-affected zone

Virtually dross-free

Good to excellent fine-feature cutting with narrowest kerf

 

Productivity

Slow cutting speeds

Pre-heat time increases pierce times

Very fast cutting speeds for all thickness

Very fast pierce times

Quick-disconnect torches maximize productivity

Very fast on thin material (less than 6 mm-1/4") and slower on thicker material

Long pierce times on thick material

 

Operating cost

Poor productivity and required rework drive cost per part higher than plasma.

Long consumable life, good productivity and excellent cut quality drive the cost per part lower than other technologies.

High costs per part due to power requirements, gas consumption, high maintenance costs and relatively low cut speeds on thick material.

 

Maintenance

Cost

Simple maintenance requirements can often be performed by in-house maintenance groups.

Moderate maintenance requirements: many components are serviceable by in-house maintenance groups.

Complex maintenance tasks require specialized technicians.

* Note: Take care in comparison: competitors often show maximum cutting speeds rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts,
as shown above. Cut speeds listed above deliver best cut quality, but cut speeds can be up to 50% faster.

* ISO 9013 is a standard that defines cut quality of thermally cut parts. The lower the range (range 1
is the lowest), the smaller the angle on the cut face. Cut angle in range 4 is better than in range 5.
