Manufacturers looking for precision, reliability and high-quality machining need look no further than the Pacer CNC router. Its robust construction, overwhelming standard specification and endless list of options are normally only found on much more expensive machines. The Pacer Series offers the perfect blend of high quality and affordability.
Designed specifically for manufacturers requiring precision, reliability and ease of use, the Pacer Series is most popular with plastic and aluminum fabricators where a high-quality cut finish, precise dimensional tolerance or very fine engraving may be required.
Plastic fabrication - Profile cutting and engraving of all engineering plastics
Metal fabrication - Precise and high-quality non-ferrous part production
Interior fixtures and fittings - High-productivity routing and engraving in all materials
A popular, heavy-duty CNC router engineered to provide the highest combination of quality and precision, the Pacer Series offers the perfect platform for high-speed, vibration-free processing of even the toughest materials.
Heavy-duty steel base and gantry provides a rigid structure for vibration-free machining and best cut quality
Helical rack and pinion drive systems allow high acceleration, smooth, quiet running and high-dimensional accuracy
Servo motors on all axes with planetary gearboxes for reliable high-speed performance
Fully configurable head and tooling options for all materials and applications

Utilizing the best technology available, the Pacer Series CNC router offers an overwhelming standard specification. From a heavy-duty steel base, to the latest drive systems, the Pacer is engineered for performance, precision and quality machining.
Choose from manual, quick-release, high-power and high-speed spindles for optimum processing of rigid sheet materials.
Various knife tools are available to process a range of flexible and semi-rigid materials.
All Pacer Series machines are built on a single-piece, stress-relieved, heavy-duty steel base providing extra rigidity and strength.
For situations that benefit from the greater mass of a steel gantry, heavy duty steel gantries are standard.
The standard helical rack and pinion provides superior highspeed performance delivering greater accuracy, smoother cutting and quieter running. For high-volume applications where cycle times need to be kept to a minimum, the powerful servo drives can increase productivity.
All Pacer machines have high-pressure aluminum zoned vacuum beds to maximize hold-down and reduce waste.
Vacuum zones can be activated manually or automatically by the machine controller.
Full machine control at your fingertips for fast and easy machine setup in an intuitive and compact package
An automatic tool-length sensor maintains accurate and consistent cut depths and is standard on all Pacer machines.
Select from a range of high-power pumps or blowers to suit machine size and application requirements.
Choose your preferred process width and then specify a length up to 12ft and beyond.
The Heavy-Duty Pacer Series CNC router can have one or two carriages, with a single or twin head and each head can accommodate multiple tools. Tools may be router spindles, knife tools, drills and more.

The 7, 21, or 33 position tool changer provides an easy and convenient method of running jobs requiring multiple routing tools. The carousel is mounted on the gantry to minimize toolchange time.
Watch videoSpindles are available from quality manufacturers such as HSD and Elte with power outputs from 3Hp to more than 10Hp, a choice of manual, semi or fully automatic toolchange and high speed options for specialist applications.
Watch videoFitting one or more knife tools can broaden the range of materials that can be processed. Choose from a standard tangential knife or high performance tangential oscillating knife. A wide range of blades are available for cutting flexible and semi-rigid materials.
