Right-first-time for tube bending

The benefits of all-electric tube bending machines for precision manufacturing will be highlighted by Unison. The company's machines feature a bending system based on precision digitally controlled servomotors. This architecture is said to provide performance benefits in terms of fast and repeatable software-based set-up, plus lower energy consumption and noise.

Another feature is a laser-controlled spring-back correction system. This automatically compensates for the natural tendency of metal tubes to 'spring back' slightly after bending, enabling manufacturers to implement right-first-time processes.

A quick-change tooling system will also be on show. Stand P6
