Tube Specialties Company (TSCO), a well-established subcontract producer of large-diameter tubular parts to the US heavy truck industry, is currently installing five of Unison’s advanced CNC tube bending machines. The machines provide precision servomotors-based all-electric bending potential, effective for designing a wide variety of tubular parts within the automotive sector.
TSCO is a distinguished subcontractor of the competitive US truck and automotive manufacturing sector, and functions from Mexico, Oregon, and North Carolina. Based on energy-conservation and reduction in scrap, Unison's all-electric benders were selected.
Most of the components manufactured by Unison comply with the just-in-time requirement of the truck manufacturers’ assembly lines. The company includes a large number of hydraulically powered bending machines. Based on closed-loop and controlled-bending axes, the all-electric machines from Unison are capable of reloading the program and generating the set-up conditions using software control.
Bending plenty of stainless steel tubing, TSCO has witnessed increase in material costs. TSCO operates machines that are capable of manufacturing 5-10 different parts per day, promoting cost-conservation. In addition, Unison's all-electric machines operate rapidly, leading to increased production uptime. The new machines also deliver 90% of energy efficiency.
The bending capability of five new Unison tube bending machines can design tubes that are sized from small bore tubing up to 130 mm, facilitating the production of extensive line of parts from hydraulic tubes, to parts used in exhaust pipes, and water coolant system. Unison's all-electric machines are recognized owing to its rapid, quick and precise technical support and reduced machine downtime.
Unison offers an extensive range of shapes capable of being programmed, without having to weld the sections together.
TSCO provides several added-value services like sorting parts deliveries within packages for specific trucks.
