Unison EvBend 1000 Manual CNC Tube Bender

The Unison EvBend range of 3-axis tube bending machines is the modern evolution of the original Silkmead tube bending machines – trusted for decades in aerospace and precision engineering.

Following Unison Ltd’s acquisition of Silkmead, the technology was re-engineered and refined into today’s EvBend 1000 and its larger sibling, the EvBend 1500 and 2000.

• Designed for low-volume, high-accuracy production and prototyping
• Relied upon across the aerospace, MRO, Formula 1 and oil & gas industries for precision bending of tube up to 50 mm in diameter
• Manually operated, but with servo-assist on the EvBend 1500 and 2000 models
• All three bending axes are CNC-controlled via encoders and progressive electromagnetic brakes to deliver consistent, repeatable results
• PC-based 15” touchscreen CNC interface, capable of storing infinite parts, processing up to 1,000 bends per component and integrating with CAD and most tube measuring systems
• Precision bending at fraction of the cost of fully automated bending machines
