It’s also equipped with helical rack and pinion on both axes. Couple that with dual-side drive servo motors and precision linear bearings, and the result is a smooth and accurate motion to produce consistent cuts.
This machine features curved table slats, providing fabricators with a stable cutting surface and reducing dross on parts. Other features include a laser pointer and all-in-one motion controller with a 21-inch touch screen. The ShopProXHD is ideal for use in mid-size general fabrication shops and educational settings such as vocational schools and colleges.
The PlateProXHD
The largest of the three machines, the PlateProXHD is a rigid rail, rapid traverse and multi-tool station cutting system. Available in 5, 6, and 8 feet cutting widths and up to 100 feet in cutting length, the size of this machine is customized to specific needs.
