Shipbuilding doesn’t leave much room for error. Whether it’s military vessels, offshore platforms or commercial marine work, large-diameter pipework has to be bent accurately, consistently and without compromise.
That’s where Unison’s all-electric machines come in.
Known for precision and repeatability, our machines have become the go-to for shipyards looking to move away from hydraulic systems – especially where high-strength materials and large tube sizes are involved.
We’ve seen this first-hand through our work with military shipbuilders and major players in offshore energy.
When the brief is “bend something big, with no room for mistakes,” that’s our cue.
It started with our 220 mm single-stack machine, affectionally nicknamed ‘Big Dave’ – designed to tackle heavy-duty Schedule 40 pipe with high torque and tight control.
That machine quickly proved itself in the field, handling thick-wall tubing with the kind of precision normally expected from much smaller diameters.
Since then, we’ve gone even further.
Our latest 273 mm all-electric tube bender is now the largest machine of its kind in the world.
It’s built for serious industrial work – from naval shipbuilding to oil & gas – and delivers smooth, accurate results without the noise, oil or unpredictability of hydraulic systems.
We’ve also broken new ground with the release of a 150 mm pinball-style tube bender – the first of its kind for large-scale, complex geometries.
It’s ideal for parts that require multiple changes in plane or direction, offering full flexibility without compromising on bend quality.
If you’ve got a job that’s tricky, long, or just plain awkward – we’ve probably got a machine that’s already handling something similar.
In high-spec industries like defence, oil & gas, marine and nuclear, it’s not just about power – it’s about control.
Our all-electric machines offer:
And because we’re JOSCAR-registered, we’re already trusted by leading defence contractors and armed forces suppliers around the world.
If you’re working in shipbuilding or heavy fabrication and want to talk about how to bend bigger, better, and more efficiently – we’d love to hear from you.
