Performance Series

The Performance Series is Simply Technologies’ heavy-use CNC router lineup, built for small shops running daily production rather than occasional jobs. It covers six models across four work areas, from a 24″ x 36″ entry model up to a 48″ x 48″ format with automatic tool changing. All require a dedicated 220–240V single-phase supply in North America.

Choosing the Right Performance Router

Shops moving from occasional jobs into daily production usually start with a PERFORMANCE 6 or PERFORMANCE 8. If your work involves frequent tool changes mid-job, the PERFORMANCE 8ATC or 16ATC reduce manual tool changes and operator interruption. Shops running higher volume or larger sheet goods are better served by the PERFORMANCE 16 or 16ATC. Our CNC routers Canada buying guide walks through the decision in more depth, or you can talk to our team directly.
