Unison to showcase all-electric tube bender at MACH 2026

One of the most popular, most versatile all-electric tube bending machines manufactured by UK-based Unison Ltd will take centre stage on the company’s stand at MACH 2026, which takes place 20-24 April at the NEC Birmingham (Hall 20, Stand 550).

The machine in question, one of Unison’s ultra-precise Breeze 50mm (maximum tube diameter) models, is a favoured choice among aerospace and automotive component manufacturers, furniture and handrail makers, HVAC systems specialists and general fabricators who require the highest levels of reliability, repeatability and accuracy.

Unison’s UK sales manager, Luke Gibson, said: “When we were considering which of our tube bending machines to bring to MACH, the Breeze 50 was the obvious choice, thanks primarily to its incredible versatility. Developed especially for companies that want maximum flexibility and
ease of programming in tube bending, the 50mm Breeze, like the majority of machines in Unison’s all-electric Breeze range, is available in both single- and multi-stack versions. Moreover, multi-radius capability, generous clearance under the bend head and substantial carriage-push and mandrel pull force are additional features that ensure there are very few tasks it cannot handle.”

Performance enhancements
Just like all Unison Breeze tube benders (the range covers tube diameters from 4 to 275mm), the 50mm machine is controlled by Unison’s proprietary Unibend CNC, a control system widely recognised as the industry leading tool for precise tube and pipe manipulation. Regularly updated to ensure Unison customers benefit from maximum efficiency, simplicity and productivity in their tube- and pipe-bending operations, the latest iteration of the Unibend control offers performance enhancements in the region of 25% compared to previous tube manipulation cycle times, depending on materials being bent, the number of and complexity of bends and individual manufacturing strategies.

Other machine tool technologies on display on Unison’s stand, will include one of the company’s manually operated and CNC-controlled EvBend 1000 precision tube bending machines, a Pneuform 3-D rotary head wire bending machine, and a Cross series flat sheet metal fibre laser cutting machine from Unison’s sister company, Nukon Lasers UK. Demonstrations of Unison’s advanced Opt2Sim Scan tube measurement system will also take place throughout the event.
