Thermal and mechanical stress are the enemies of precision fabrication. Yet, many traditional cutting systems rely on precisely that, applying intense force that pushes expensive materials well past their breaking point.
The result is a catalogue of costly defects: thermal distortion in composites, micro-fractures in stone, and poor edge quality on metals. Each flaw leads to a rejected part, wasted material, lost labour, and a production schedule that becomes increasingly unreliable, creating an urgent need for a cost-effective solution.
Performatec’s comprehensive range of Flow Waterjet cutting machines eliminate heat, edge damage and precision issues, making them ideal for fabricators who despise waste and production delays. With cold-cutting tech and micron-level accuracy these systems handle high-mix, high-spec workloads easily.
Tired of rework and waste? See what we mean when we say 'Just Go With The Flow'.
Imprecise, slow or outdated machinery will hold your operation back. If you’re fixing burrs, crooked parts, or delays from rework, you’re burning time and money.
The real culprit? Well, you could always blame your operator, but the fact is that outdated 'traditional' cutting methods simply can't keep up. Manual setups, poor focus, and heat build-up all lead to misalignment, scrap, and late deliveries.
Performatec's fibre laser cutting machines deliver rapid, accurate cuts for fabricators who value speed and sharp results. Advanced motion control, minimal heat-affected zones, and rapid setup enable you to get parts off the table and into production rapidly.
Sick of slow, messy cuts? See how laser cutting machines can help.
If tolerances are tight and batches vary, minor bending errors can blow out your job and have you getting bent out of shape over a bad steel bending machine. When all is said and done, rework, wasted material and missed deadlines impact workflow efficiency and crush margins.
The reality is that many press brakes (including that clunker you've had for years) in workshops aren’t built for modern fabrication. Manual setups, limited backgauges and inconsistent performance can’t support high-spec parts, short lead times, or scalable production.
Performatec's Baykal hydraulic press brake range delivers dependable, high-accuracy forming via intelligent CNC control, servo-hydraulic precision, and rapid setup capabilities.
Spanning defence and transport sectors through to contract fabrication, these systems provide the repeatability, flexibility, and operational speed needed for competitive advantage.
Struggling with inconsistent forming? See what it means to 'Bend It Like Baykal'
When cut quality falls short, it slows every downstream step. Rework, handling delays and misaligned parts all stem from the same cause: unreliable shearing.
Outdated metal guillotine machines can’t deliver accurate, high-speed performance across changing sheet thicknesses. Manual gap settings and slow cycles choke throughput, and your productivity with it.
Performatec’s range of metal guillotines deliver reliable, high-accuracy forming with intelligent CNC control, razor-sharp precision, and fast setup times.
From defence and transport, to contract fabrication, these guillotines for metalwork provide the repeatability, flexibility and speed serious manufacturers demand.

How Industrial Gaskets & Sealants boosted production
For Joel, (MD of IGS), their Mach 100 waterjet (plus a new Flow Mach 200c recently!) was a great investment. After a seamless installation, it immediately slashed turnaround times with cut quality that is "second to none."
Critically, it unlocked new capabilities, allowing them to bring all stainless steel cutting in-house and end their reliance on outsourcing. Joel cites Performatec's reliable support as a key reason for the partnership - a decision that has "never let us down".
"If we were to either upgrade this or get a second one, we would be knocking on Performatec's door"

Fabricating components from soft or heat-sensitive materials, such as rubber, foam, and advanced composites, presents a distinctive set of hurdles. Standard cutting methods often introduce heat, which can lead to melting, warping, or the release of toxic fumes, compromising part quality and safety.
For precision industrial gaskets or specialised polymer components, maintaining specs and a clean finish is crucial for success. Furthermore, for the mixed-material producer, versatility needs can mean investing in multiple machines, which brings its own set of problems. Clearly, the ideal solution would be a single machine that can process without thermal damage or tooling changes.
CNC waterjet machines provide the definitive solution. As a non-thermal process, waterjet cutting ensures that even delicate plastics and foams retain their original properties and structural integrity.
The fine, high-pressure stream produces a smooth, burr-free edge that requires no secondary finishing, saving significant time and labour. This capability makes it the superior choice for high-precision applications, from automotive seals to defence industry composite panels.
A prime example would be the versatile Mach 150 - a 60000 psi waterjet cutter from Flow Waterjet. This machine can seamlessly switch from cutting soft rubber to dense composite sheets without any mechanical changes, offering remarkable flexibility from a small waterjet cutting machine.
The Mac 150 is a recent addition to the Flow water jet family (supersedes Mac 100). For workshops seeking a powerful, adaptable, and precise waterjet solution, the Mach 150 is an ideal entry point into advanced cold-cutting technology. Review its full specs and capabilities and while you are there, grab a waterjet price guide.
The defence industry operates under the world’s most stringent quality standards, where mission-critical components demand flawless material integrity, absolute precision, and complete traceability.
