Design, engineering, production and fitting of the machines are all carried out at the company’s works in Tilburg, the Netherlands. Sub-suppliers of fixed length tubes are increasingly being put under price-pressure, and being confronted with ‘just in time’ and ‘zero defects’ delivery requirements. This means smaller batches, stricter tolerances, cleanliness and packaging of tubes. To meet these requirements, more reliability, higher

durability. These machines are claimed to be ideal for businesses with lower volume requirements and companies interested in applications ranging from experimental prototype bends up to full batch production. Marketed as the UNI range, these electric machines cover all bending requirements from 6mm OD up to 90mm OD or 3" NB. They offer between 2D to 5D centre line radii. The series consists of the 42D, 60D, 70D, 76, 80 and 90 units. Some machines can be fitted with mandrel bending equipment together with optional accessories for bending thin-walled tube to a tighter centre line radius.  Tubela supply a complete range of tube bending machines
