SideKick CNC Plasma 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 SideKick 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 Tubes connecting at least 3 points add additional stiffness to increase the rigidity and Load capacity!
SideKick CNC Plasma Features
Closed Loop Motors
ShopSabre SideKick Machines come standard with 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! Our motors will provide added acceleration & motor stability which helps with thin materials, tighter tolerance cutting, and longer duty cycles.
SideKick CNC Plasma Features
XY Axis Large Rack and Pinion
ShopSabre Sidekick 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.
SideKick CNC Plasma 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.
SideKick CNC Plasma Features
Optional Table
Every SideKick comes with a Full Bed of Slats and your choice of Blow Through, Down-Draft, or Water Table Configuration Note: Down-Draft and Water Table are added costs. Each Water Table will include a Welded Pan with Water Test, Welded Slate Brackets, Ladder Frame Bracing, Added water table isolation diode technology, and Plasma Defense water treatment.
