UNISON benders are built in the UK and marketed worldwide. These benders are very popular world-wide, as the benders are high in quality and the service is excellent. They are all electric with all actuators servo-controlled.

VTube-STEP Support for UNISON Benders

Vtube-step 1.77.4.jpg

VTube-STEP can export Supravision data to UNISON benders.

VTube also exports special bender data for the UNISON control for bending ribbon shaped stock. VTube-LASER, the version of VTube that connects to a FARO measuring center arm, can send radius UNISON benders for correction of large radius push bends. The LASER version can also send single bend angles to UNISON benders for large pipe application where correcting the bend angle while the tube/pipe is still in the bender.
