Unison Ltd, a UK manufacturer of tube and pipe bending machines, has launched an all-new version of its free-to-use Tube Bending Application app. With intuitive new features, Unison believes it to be the most advanced app of its kind for users of tube bending machinery.

The app makes it simple and straightforward for tube bending machinery operators to establish the required tooling type, mandrel style, size and material, as well as bend torque and machine size. As an additional benefit, a clear, simple indication of ‘application difficulty’ – the difficulty of bending virtually any metal, wall thickness and diameter – is also available. Where customers are looking to bend new components or start new projects, but do not have the correct tooling or machinery, the app provides a valuable feasibility/viability check, detailing essential data regarding the equipment they will need to use.

In creating their all-new Tube Bending Application app, Unison’s in-house software design team introduced a whole range of user-friendly, intelligent new features. These include a new project-specific filing system and a new dashboard for instant access to tube data, project notes, tooling set-up, mandrel set-up and machine power. There is an updated conversion tool for transforming XYZ co-ordinates into YBC bending data. As in previous versions of the app, users can download reports in PDF format for desktop filing, sharing, review and consideration.

“Since it was first launched some 10 years ago, our free Tube Bending Application app has revolutionised the way customers calculate bending criteria, providing them with a rapid insight into the necessary tooling set-up, machine type and torque required to successfully complete even the most complex of bends,” says Unison Ltd’s joint managing director, Alan Pickering.
