Tube bending benefits
04 July 2013
The benefits of all-electric tube bending machines for precision oil and gas equipment manufacturing applications will be highlighted by Unison at Offshore Europe.

Unison machines feature a bending system based on precision digitally controlled servomotors. This all-electric architecture provides significant benefits in terms of rapid and repeatable software-based set-up, and lower energy consumption and noise, compared with traditional hydraulically powered bending machinery.
Another key advantage for the high precision bending required for oil and gas components is Unison's unique laser-controlled spring-back correction system. Available as a build-to-order option on any of Unison's machines for bending tubes from 50mm diameter upwards, the system automatically compensates for the natural tendency of metal tubes to spring back slightly after being bent, enabling tubular parts manufacturers to implement a right-first-time production process.
