IS-M Series CNC Router Features

Industrial Precision Frame

ShopSabre CNC Frames are
FEA Engineered and Tested
constructed from Massive 14x10 Steel Tubes which are Stacked and Welded for added rigidity giving you more floor
contact and better vibration control. Internally the large tubes are also cross braces and stiffened to increase the rigidity.

IS-M Series CNC Router Features

Mitsubishi Servo Motors

ShopSabre PRO Machines come standard with AC Digital Closed Loop Servo Motors for
Higher Speeds, Higher Accuracy, and Less MaintenanceSelf Monitoring Glass Encoder Technology provides extreme performance
and the IS-M Controller allows for on the fly control from Controller to Motor with True CLOSED Loop to the Machine controllerMitsubishi is Top Rated Servo Technology in the World!

IS-M Series CNC Router Features

Aero Space Milling Technology

ShopSabre CNC Frames 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 along with 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.

IS-M Series CNC Router Features

Ball Screw Technology

ShopSabre IS-M Machines come standard with 3 Axis Ball Screw Drives with Y Axis (Long Axis) providing Twin Screws to give you 7 times more rigidity than competing machines and
unprecedented performance. Ball Screw Technology used at ShopSabre is the latest in the Industry including which gives you less backlash than Rack and Pinion and thanks to our Whip Free Technology it increases the cutting accuracy and gives you superior edge finishesBall Screw Technology will outlast most comparable machines by as much as 3 to 4 times longer with very little maintenance required.

IS-M Series CNC Router Features

Mitsubishi M8 Series Controller

The M in IS-M comes from the Mitsubishi M8 Series Controller. The ShopSabre IS-M brings unbelievable performance to CNC Routing. The IS-M is the first CNC Router in the world to display a M8 Series controller which is the world's fastest CNC Control. The IS-M controller has the simplicity of our world known CNC interface but the robust speed and communication of a dedicated Mill Style Control. Providing Increased machining speeds,
accuracy, and performance the IS-M brings you technology that is indisputably better!

IS-M Series CNC Router Features
Vacuum Performance

The Vacuum Option on the ShopSabre IS-M 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!

HiFlow Vacuum Technology

ShopSabre CNC HiFlow Vacuum Technology increases the surface flow by as much as 50% over the competition which in the end results in higher holding pressures and power and better performance. Each Vacuum table on the IS-M Series comes Milled from the factory by your machine cutting head reducing the needs for gaskets and bolts
to hold your spoil board down and our exclusive HiFlow Grid makes nested manufacturing a breeze.

Super Z Technology

ShopSabre IS-M Machines are
available with the Super Z Technology designed here at
ShopSabre CNC. This increases your Z Axis to 16 of Travel while maintaining incredible rigidity thanks in part to our FEA Engineered Stiffener Technology for Tool Plate Strength and our Z Axis Servo Motor Control System and Air Balancer Technology giving you some of the quickest Tool Changes and Drilling cycles 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 6x12 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 12 Standard and provide more rigidity for better cutting quality and versatility.

Bi - Directional Rotary ATC Option

ShopSabre Rotary Carousel ATC Option is the most advanced ATC Technology on the market. Unlike competitors systems this ATC Carousel is direct drive through planetary
gear connection with bi-directional tool changing which allows the tool changer to travel the shortest distance to the next tool regardless of direction. Also, this ATC system provides no belts or slides, it operates just like every ShopSabre system-simple, fast, and effective!
