Unison Aerospace

	Unison have provided tube bending machines to major aerospace manufacturers for both commercial and military markets. Unisons advanced control system is ideal for the high quality aerospace environment where exotic materials are often bent to precision accuracy. Our machines have been used to create products used within airframes and on engines, in both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Our machines have also been used to great effect at aircraft repair facilitys where parts are reversed engineered and re-created on a unison machine Airbus (UK) is the British arm of the European aircraft manufacturing consortium and manufacture many components, including tubular hydraulic fluid lines, at its Filton plant, located within the English city of Bristol. Unison supplied Filton with the first Breeze machine to bend tubes of 1-1.5” diameter. These stainless steel and titanium alloy tubes are hydraulic lines, carrying fluid in the wings of the A380, A340 and A320 aircraft. “It was important to find a manufacturer who could work with us as we developed our production process for these tubes,” says Phil Brown, a project engineer at Airbus(UK). Therefore, once the Breeze system had been engineered to Airbus’s specifications, key members of the customer’s engineering team were seconded to Unison HQ in Scarborough. This ensured that when the machine hit their shop floor, parts for the A380 were in production immediately. The first machine paid for itself in 16 weeks by reducing scrap alone. All Unison bending machines have an interface to several CMM measuring machines such as ITP, Multi-Measure, Romer and Add-data.
