Bespoke clip saves installation costs


Among the highlights of the Southern Springs and Pressings stand were various products including a bespoke clip produced for a customer in the construction industry. The clip was designed to replace the nuts and bolts they were using for installation resulting in fewer products being needed and less time to secure the trunking. The clip is branded with the customer’s logo. The show was an


opportunity to highlight


services, such as in-house engineering. The assembly service can incorporate components manufactured in-house with either free issue parts or bought-in items. The company can also operate kanban, VMI and other stock management systems, as well as bar coding for ease of stock control and traceability. Recent machine purchases, including two CNC power presses and a CNC milling machine, increase press facilities to a total of nine machines. A bespoke design


consultancy service has the ability to provide all types of wire and flat metal components, from just a few prototypes to large production runs, with delivery directly to customers.

Tube bending machine suits prototype volumes


Tube bending custom products, tailored to specific customer requirements, account for a significant proportion of the Unison business, for aerospace, automotive, marine, oil and gas, energy and bespoke products. Showcased at this year’s


show was the EB1000, high precision, CNC controlled manually operated bending machine, suitable for bending tubes up to 16mm. It is suitable for low volume production and prototypes in demanding applications. The tube bending


machine specialist claims to offer the most extensive range of all-electric tube bending machines in the market. The standard range accommodates tube diameters from 16 to 180mm. A custom machine is capable of bending 10- inch schedule pipe with an outside diameter of 273mm.


Advanced software tools


provide an end-to-end tube bending service, and feature Opt2Sim, 3D simulation which allows users to analyse, optimise and validate programs without needing access to the physical machine. TubeWorks tube bending CAD/CAM software package enables users to automatically extract manufacturing information such as bend angles and rotations from a native SolidWorks model or a common CAD file format to reduce the time required to develop programs for CNC tube bending dramatically, from hours to just minutes. Sister company,


Ingenium Integration, provides automation solutions and a design consultancy service from robotic cells to integrated production lines. Turnkey automated systems are designed to save customers time and money. www.unisonltd.com
