The SABER 40 CHP cutter uses an advanced plasma cutting process where a highly concentrated high-temperature plasma arc melts and precisely ejects material from the cutting gap. A key feature is automatic switching between the pilot arc and the cutting arc. The pilot arc provides stable arc ignition without high-frequency interference (HF Start-Free), which is beneficial when working near sensitive electronics. It also enables efficient cutting of perforated materials, meshes and rusted or paint-covered surfaces where continuity of electrical contact can be problematic.

The benefit for the professional is exceptional cutting edge quality, minimizing the need for further machining, and high process speed on a variety of conductive materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper. This translates into increased productivity and lower unit costs.

The Böhler SABER 40 CHP is equipped with a dedicated plasma gouging function that expands its versatility. The process involves the controlled removal of material from the surface of metal using a plasma arc and a stream of compressed air, without cutting through it. This is extremely useful for preparing edges for welding (beveling), removing old or defective welds, removing lint or cleaning surfaces.

Thanks to precise parameter control, plasma gouging with the SABER 40 CHP allows fast and efficient material removal with minimal heat impact on the surrounding area, which is especially important when working with thin sheets or materials sensitive to deformation. This solution significantly speeds up preparation and repair work compared to traditional mechanical methods.

The Cutting Synergy technology implemented in the SABER 40 CHP cutter significantly simplifies operation and guarantees optimal cutting results. Once the material type and thickness are selected, the machine automatically selects and sets key cutting process parameters, such as cutting current and air pressure (if integrated into the system). This intelligent solution eliminates the need for manual fine-tuning of many variables, which is particularly helpful for less experienced operators, but also appreciated by professionals for saving time.

The benefit to the user is faster start-up, consistent high quality cutting and reduced risk of operator error. The Cutting Synergy of the Böhler SABER 40 CHP translates into more repeatable results and more efficient use of both the machine and torch consumables.

At the heart of the SABER 40 CHP cutting machine is the advanced greenWave® inverter technology, patented by Böhler Welding. It provides extremely high energy efficiency, which manifests itself in a power factor (PF) close to unity (for the SABER series PF ≈ 0.95). This means less electricity consumption for the same cutting capacity, which directly reduces operating costs and is good for the environment.

GreenWave® technology also provides increased protection for the device against unstable power supply voltages and an Autolink function that, on the SABER 40 CHP, automatically adjusts the device for 115V or 230V operation. This makes the cutter more reliable, less prone to failure due to fluctuations in the power supply and ready to work in a wide variety of conditions, making it an ideal choice for professionals who value low operating costs, mobility and reliability.
