Tube Bending Innovations

Unison Tube LLC will present a number of innovative tube manipulation technologies at FABTECH. Unison machines on show at FABTECH booth D41930 will include an all-electric Unison Breeze 100 mm (maximum tube diameter) multistack tube bender and one of the company's manually operated, CNC-controlled EvBend 1000 models.

All-Electric Unison Breeze 100 mm

The 100 mm Breeze offers rapid set-up, fast tooling changes, increased power, rigid mechanical design and all-electric control for right-first-time repeat sub-contract work, or immediately after producing a single trial part. These features make it suited for businesses specializing in small batch production runs. Equipped with Unison's recently upgraded Unibend software, all-electric Breeze machines also offer cycle time speed improvements in the region of 25% compared to earlier models and incorporate new teach routine and simulation features.

Unison EvBend

Unison's EvBend 1000 is a high-precision 3-axis machine that was developed to reduce the entry cost to precision rotary draw tube bending. The machine combines manually operated feed, tube rotation and bending force with CNC-controlled braking on the carriage feed, rotation and bend arm axes. Typically used for low-volume, high-accuracy production and prototyping, Unison EvBend machines provide accurate and economical multiplane bending. Two models are currently available: the EvBend 1000 for bending tube of up to 16 mm in diameter, and the EvBend 2000, a machine featuring power-assisted operation and capable of bending tube of up to 50 mm in diameter. The EvBend CNC control includes a PC-based 15" touchscreen and is capable of processing up to 100 bends per component. Unison EvBend machines are used across the aerospace and motorsport sectors for bending precision components.
