Extra Information

The beam is a welded, fabricated structure with numerous stiffeners that yields an extremely rigid gantry. The beam is machined to the tightest tolerance to achieve high accuracy over the life of the machine.


This pedestal-mounted, mid-rail machine moves smoothly on double roller-bearing wheels on a machined T-rail. Rail extensions of 9 ft. and 16 ft. (2743.2mm and 4876.8mm) can be combined for desired cutting length.


Cut quality and accuracy are dependent upon smooth, precise motion control in both axes. The Sabre SXE does this by matching digital AC drive amplifiers with AC brushless motors and precision extra heavy-duty gear boxes with rack-and-pinion gearing. The gearbox features an oversized output bearing and output shaft to reduce torsional wind-up and increase torque capacity. Drive racks are mounted directly to the machined sides of the rail, ensuring consistent rack to rail alignment. All three drives are mounted on dual linear rail engagement slides, for perfect pinion alignment and very low backlash.


The Sabre SXE achieves positioning accuracy of +/- 0.010” over a 60” area, with repeatability of +/- 0.005”. Machine speed can be varied from 2 - 1400 ipm (50.8 - 35560 mm/min).


Available processes on the Sabre include plasma, oxy-fuel, three torch edge prep, plasma marking, air-scribe, zinc marking, punch marking, routing, and drilling.
