ACUFAB fibre lasers are engineered to give Australian manufacturers a safer, cleaner and more productive approach to sheet and plate cutting. Combining proven fibre laser technology, robust machine construction, intuitive controls and integrated safety systems, the range is built to deliver reliable, repeatable performance in demanding fabrication environments.
From compact single-table systems through to high-power exchange-table machines, ACUFAB offers a solution for everything from general sheet metal fabrication to heavy plate production. Each machine is designed with productivity, operator safety and long-term reliability in mind, with the added confidence of Performatec’s Australia-wide technical support, operator training and ongoing after-sales service.
ACUFAB machines are built to Performatec specification with a strong focus on the safety details that matter in real-world operation. ACUFAB machines feature enclosed cutting booths, laser-safe viewing windows, interlocked access doors, safety relay architecture and high capacity fume extraction.
For Performatec, enclosure integrity is a core part of the machine specification, not an afterthought. ACUFAB fibre lasers have fully enclosed cutting booths together with negative-pressure dust extraction to support a safer and cleaner working environment. All ACUFAB fibre lasers are manufactured with generously sized downdraft extraction and 99.99% filtration efficiency.
ACUFAB X and ACUFAB H machines are fitted with a safety light curtain system around the exchange-table area to help protect operators during loading, unloading and table changeover. Because exchange tables involve large moving platforms, sheet material and automated motion, the light curtain provides an important safeguard by detecting access into the protected zone.
Performatec’s point of difference is not just the machine package, but the support model behind it. Performatec has technicians based in each capital city, structured operator training and lifetime support.
