Davis Aircraft is proud to announce it acquisition of an “All Electric Unison” CNC Tube Bender. All-electric actuation provides significant advantages in terms of precision, repeatability and energy consumption. Each of the tools employed during bending is under software control, providing almost instant change over of tools and allowing users to create smooth and accurate bends. Once the machine is set up, operating parameters can also be stored, allowing machines to be reconfigured for another part or batch in a few minutes, without creating any scrap. Among Unison’s latest technology advances is a laser measurement system that dynamically measures the accuracy of bend angles and automatically compensates for any errors.
