The ACUFAB Z Press Brake is engineered for fabricators who need greater control, flexibility and confidence when tackling complex bending work. Its robust construction and advanced control technology deliver precise, repeatable results across demanding production environments.
Its advanced drive technology combines on-demand power efficiency with the proven strength of hydraulic bending. This helps reduce energy consumption, noise, oil heating and hydraulic stress while providing smoother ram control and consistent bending performance.
Equipped with the Delem 66S controller, the ACUFAB Z provides advanced 2D programming, 3D machine visualisation, automatic bend sequence calculation, collision detection and offline programming. Jobs can be prepared away from the machine, helping reduce setup time and improve production workflow.
ACUFAB Press Brakes are built for dependable, accurate and efficient bending across modern fabrication environments, with operator safety designed into the machine from the outset.
Every ACUFAB Press Brake incorporates a comprehensive safety package including safety-interlocked side and rear access, a dedicated emergency-stop safety relay, European laser guarding technology and pinch-point pre-alert notification. These systems work together to help protect the operator while maintaining efficient machine operation and productive cycle times.
Combining robust construction, practical technology and operator-focused features, ACUFAB Press Brakes deliver consistent performance across a wide range of sheet and plate bending applications.
Available in mild-hybrid and full-electric configurations, the ACUFAB range is fully backed by Performatec with expert technical support, operator training and technicians located in each Australian capital city.
The ACUFAB press brake’s mild hybrid drive delivers better response and control in ram movement, which improves positioning accuracy at the target position and uses closed-loop speed control.
The ACUFAB press brake’s mild hybrid system delivers fast, responsive performance that helps improve production efficiency.
Because the pump and motor are demand-driven, the machine uses less energy than a traditional always-on hydraulic system. The mild hybrid drive provides up to 35% better energy efficiency versus traditional systems.

Due to the fact that the hydraulic pump isn’t running the whole time the machine is operational the ACUFAB press brake is quieter and creates a better working environment.

Mild Hybrid operation reduces wasted energy, which means less oil heating and less cooling demand. That matters because cooler-running oil generally helps stability during long production runs and reduces load on the hydraulic system.
The DA-66S balances core press brake functionality with advanced productivity enhancements, offering high accuracy and operator ease-of-use.
Featuring a modern industrial touchscreen, the intuitive Delem user interface enables direct navigation between programming and production with optimised ergonomics.
The system supports 2D programming with automatic bend sequencing and collision detection, alongside full 3D machine set-ups for real-time feasibility and handling feedback.
Furthermore, efficient control algorithms optimise cycles and minimise setup times, while an integrated top panel accommodates machine functions and OEM-application switches.
For premium operator protection, the ACUFAB press
brake is fitted with DSP laser safety. This advanced system protects against crushing between the upper and lower tools while improving productivity through faster cycle times.

Safety interlocked access doors prevent access the back gauge area whilst the machine is operational.
All ACUFAB press brakes are fitted with safety relay. Safety relays are specifically used to monitor E-stops, guard switches, light curtains and similar safety devices.

Facilitates quick top changes when operator needs to change the top tool several times a week – Reduces time from 10-15 minutes to 3-6 minutes.
Ensures accurate bending along the full length of the part. The Delem controller calculates the bend based on material, thickness, tooling, bend length, and target angle. It then sends the required crowning value to the crowning axis/system.
ACUFAB’s X+R+Z1+Z2 back gauge is an advanced positioning system that gives the press brake more flexibility and accuracy when setting up parts.
Hybrid drive technology gives the ACUFAB press brake the efficiency advantages of on-demand power with the proven strength of hydraulic bending.
ACUFAB’s Mild Hybrid Press Brakes deliver is a seamless balance of power and automation. Built on a rigid welded steel frame, they integrate servo-hydraulic controls and advanced CNC technology to ensure precise, repeatable results across a wide range of bending applications.
