The AURIX™ Series by PB Lasers is built for fabricators who actually run machines. Not for trade show floors. Not for brochure collectors. For production.
You Already Know the Math Doesn't Work.
You're cutting with plasma. Or you're outsourcing laser work to someone who charges you per part and delivers in four to five weeks. Either way, the work doesn't end when the cut ends.
With plasma, the work starts after the cut. You're grinding. Cleaning. Fighting slag. Fitting parts that don't quite line up because the guy cutting was off a degree. Your welder compensates. Your schedule slips. Your quote had to be padded because you couldn't predict the post-cut labor.
And every month, you're writing checks to shops that own the machine you should own.
With a laser, the work stops when the cut is done. The part comes off the table weld-ready, bend-ready, paint-ready. No grinding. No cleanup. No surprises.
That's not a feature. That's the difference between running a shop and running a machine that runs the shop for you.
We Spent Thirty Dollars to Find You. Not Eighteen Million.
PB Lasers is not one of the big six. We don't have a twenty-million-dollar trade show budget. We don't have a service contract business model. We don't have planned obsolescence built into our machines — mostly because we don't have a C-suite with four hundred people.
That means we don't have their prices.
It also means we don't have their consumables markup, their proprietary parts ecosystem, or their "two-cuts-and-haul-ass" technician model.
What we have is a company built on a concept called Means of Manufacturing™. The machine comes first. The machine has to run. The person operating it has to know it inside out — not because of a service contract, but because independence is the goal.
When you know your machine, you make money with it. When you don't, you call us forty-three times in ninety days. That's bad for both of us.
We don't sell machines. We create competent, independent operators who become long-term clients.
Six Machines. One Philosophy. Buy More Power Than You Need. Run It Forever.

The right kilowatt depends on your operation, not on a brochure. A properly sized AURIX™ cuts your eighty percent effortlessly, handles the twenty percent without drama, and doesn't turn rare jobs into daily punishment. We size the machine during our engineering conversation — not on a product page.
What makes an AURIX™ different.
Every other manufacturer sends a technician. The tech gets paid from when he pulls out of his driveway. He makes two cuts, shows you a few settings, and hauls ass to the airport. He doesn't actually want to share everything — because sharing everything is counterproductive to him making a living on the next service call.
We send an engineer. They have run a fabrication business and led processes in fabrication. They have often run and managed jobs from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars of custom stainless steel work for hospitals, casinos, and government projects, pipelines — you name it. They have expertise in designing jobs in SolidWorks since the 2000s. When you ask "can I make the machine do this," he'll tell you yes, here's how, here's the risk, here's what it saves you. Then you make the decision.
We don't leave until you are producing. Not demonstrating. Producing.
In two years, you'd be mad at us if you paid for a service contract and realized you could have bought a new truck. That's not the goal. The goal is that you know this machine so well you don't need a service contract. We will deliver you a beast — something robust and not an ounce less than what the big six will sell you. Often times it's half the weight from the random Chinese competitors. So with us you will spend more on installation — more days, more cost, more engineer time. You pay more upfront for independence. You don't pay forever for dependency.
Every AURIX™ ships with fifty protection lenses, six ceramic nozzles, twenty-four standard nozzles, and two complete focal and collimating lens sets. That's enough to run a year without blinking.
We built this model because we know firsthand what it's like to get raked over the coals on consumables. Four thousand dollars for a protection lens that costs a fraction of that to manufacture. Then two years later seven thousand. Then four years later twelve thousand. Then six and a half years later they tell you they don't make the head anymore — buy a new one. Forty thousand dollars. On a machine in pristine condition. That's just the nature of big business everywhere. It doesn't matter how well you take care of your equipment; they refuse to support you if it doesn't make them new money.
That is not going to happen to you.
Fully featured nesting and CAM software comes with every machine. Machine-side nesting and desktop nesting, both permanently licensed. No monthly fee. No annual renewal. No subscription attached to your production output. A comparable industry alternative costs over two thousand dollars a year. Ours comes with the machine and stays with the machine.
Built out of necessity from running fabrication operations. ShopFlow IQ™ tracks jobs from PO to delivery. Off-Cut IQ™ tracks every remnant that comes off the laser — measured, labeled, racked, and searchable. No more sending two guys with a forklift to hunt for material that someone swears exists but nobody can find. Both available with the sheet or tube machines. Our engineer sets them up during your installation. They replace expensive subscription shop management software that nobody uses because it's too complicated.
Weight is your first quality signal on any industrial laser. The AURIX™ frame is annealed, heat-treated, and machined in-house. The physical weight is literally double many competitors in the same category. Half the weight means half the structural integrity. When you're running quarter-inch steel all day, every day, the frame has to hold. Internal components are UL-listed Schneider electronics with full electrical schematics. Max fiber resonator with approximately 250,000 units shipped globally. Boci cutting head — close to Precitec performance without the Precitec pricing or the planned obsolescence. Parts are available. They don't get discontinued. Your focal lenses are not sealed into a stainless steel contraption that you can never open unless you spend $4,000 for a new one. Those days are over.
Before You Hire Another Person, Do This Math.
On a lease-to-own, an AURIX™ 3015 sheet laser costs you roughly twenty-one to twenty-eight dollars an hour on a standard work month. What do you pay a machine operator? Twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five dollars an hour?
The machine doesn't call in sick. It doesn't take holidays. It doesn't need health benefits, safety courses, or three weeks of vacation. It doesn't show up hungover on Monday and throw off every weld downstream.
And every payment is one hundred percent tax deductible — same as your phone bill, same as your rent. Section 179 lets you write off the full purchase price in the year you take delivery.
If you're already outsourcing laser cutting, you probably already have a free laser. The processing or outsourcing cost you're paying someone else in our experience almost always covers the lease payment. That's not a cost — that's a reallocation. That's asset building in your business. That's improving customer service. That's not relying on anyone else to get something done. And that equals profit.
We Hear Them Every Day Because Fabricators Call Us After They've Lived Them.
A farmer in Illinois with a Trumpf CO2 — down eighteen months. A quarter million dollars in parts and service. The problem was a mirror. They sent three techs who'd never seen the machine. The fourth one found it in two days.
A fabricator with an HSG laser — down four months out of twelve. The head got ripped off the gantry. Over a hundred thousand dollars lost in one outage. Twelve thousand dollars to rebuild a head that had an O-ring failure. The O-ring cost a dollar fifty.
An enterprise manufacturer spending a hundred and thirty thousand dollars a year on crashed heads — at twenty-six thousand dollars each — from a legacy brand that charges fifty-six thousand dollars just to upgrade from 5kW to 6kW.
These aren't hypothetical. These are phone calls we take every week.
Not Trumpf. Not Bodor. Not Even Close to Either.
If you're comparing us to a big-name brand:
You're paying for their trade show budget and their C-suite — not a better machine. The machines that cost one-point-four million? We deliver the same cut quality at a fraction of the price. No facial recognition. No heated massage seats. Everything is designed for production. Just the work.
If you're comparing us to a low-cost import:
Different machine category. Lighter build, assembled from mixed suppliers, not engineered to North American spec. We're nearly double the physical weight. UL-listed components throughout. Chucks built in-house. Not in the same tier.
If someone's offering you "power by the hour":
Some companies sell you what looks like a 6kW laser at a 3kW price — then charge you a monthly fee to access the full power. That's like buying a V8 truck where they lock out four cylinders and charge you a subscription to drive on the highway. You own the machine, but you're renting the capability. Every AURIX™ ships with full rated power, day one, forever, with no subscription attached to your production output.
You Don't Get the Keys to the Airplane Until You Qualify as Co-Pilot.
A plasma cutter is a go-kart and a chainsaw. Gas on the right, brake on the left, steering wheel in the middle. A laser is an airplane with a glass cockpit. You have to understand focus depth, gas combination, beam alignment, power ramping, nozzle selection, and bevel compensation.
It's not scary if you know what you're doing. And when our engineer leaves your shop, you will know what you're doing.
We train Full Metal Jacket style. You do it our way. We teach you how to get to every parameter yourself — not just hand you a sheet of numbers without context. Because the first time something is different about your material, your gas, your ambient temperature, you need to understand why you're adjusting what you're adjusting. We leave you with the ability to find the answer, not just the answer.
When the engineer leaves, you get a complete standard operating procedure — a training document — so if you ever bring someone new on, you have a template. You're not playing broken telephone.
You pay more upfront for competence. You never pay again for dependency.
Our mission is to bring productivity back to North American manufacturing.
Every machine we train you on is a step in that direction.
