Our expert tooling team has the technical knowledge and experience to design and manufacture tooling for the most challenging of tube bending applications – regardless of whether that’s precision bending the exotic alloys used in aerospace and MRO or manufacturing high-volume components for the automotive sector.
To support growing demand, in 2023 we invested a further £1 million in the machine shop at our state-of-the-art UK-based tooling manufacturing facility. At our locations in the UK and USA, we typically hold more than £100,000 worth of consumable tooling in stock – including mandrel balls and wiper dies, all ready for despatch.
Choosing Unison bend tooling means de-risking your processes, as we’ll ensure that every tool fits perfectly and makes parts accurately, without marks, slips, scuffs or scrapes. We can also customise tool mounts, making it simple and straightforward to use new tooling with existing equipment. Our selection of materials and hardening processes ensure we focus on the right solution for your application.
With innovations such as quick-change collets and mandrels, and bar-coded tooling for automatic setup, we save you time and money, removing the risk of error during changeovers. We can even provide a 24-hour reinforced 3D printed carbon fibre tooling service for your prototypes, should the need arise.
