Marking metals in a practical manner REA Jet develops and manufactures industrial coding and marking systems for contact-free industrial marking. The portfolio includes ink jet printers, laser and spray mark systems, labelling solutions, and inks and consumables. Effective coding and marking of products is a challenge for the metal working industry. Heat, dust and moisture can affect the process. REA Jet presents sturdy systems that can cope with such conditions, and can easily be integrated into existing infrastructures. The large character inkjet printer REA Jet DOD 2.0 has a speed of 600m/min and increased durability of the print heads. Production precision has also been optimised. The printing system with IP-65 protection class has been further improved for harsh impacts within industrial environments. High-contrast pigmented inks legible and almost indestructible. The high beam quality and energy density of the laser ensure accuracy and the precise direct part marking (dpm) of metallic components. The REA Jet FL is available in 20W, 30W and 50W models.

focused on the design, development and manufacture of pneumatic and hydraulic tube and wire bending machines. Its tube machines have been developed for specific industries. The two-axis bending machine will produce serpentines, coils and spirals with either a static flat table for smaller parts or with an integrated three- axis table to support large parts. The three-axis bending machine provides the versatility to produce a variety of shapes.

Pneuform product range fits perfectly into the Unison tube bending range.” Trevor Clark, managing director of Pneuform Machines, added, “Pneuform are excited that the joint venture will enhance the marketing and the technical development of the range of machines it produces. The Pneuform range will be supported jointly by Unison and Pneuform. The joint venture will secure future ongoing support for existing customers and provide confidence that the bending machines will continue to be developed, supported and marketed into the long-term future.” Unison has been manufacturing tube-bending machines for more than 40 years, including large all-electric tube bending machines, and integrated software solutions. When Pneuform was founded in the mid-1960s, it was

UNISON Ltd, a manufacturer of tube bending machines and simulation software, has entered into a joint venture with Pneuform Machines Ltd, leading to full integration within the Unison family of companies, joining Yorkshire CNC and Ingenium Integration. The joint venture will strengthen Unison’s portfolio, adding a range of small diameter tube and wire bending machines. “The partnership will see new product lines added to our product portfolio, which already houses the world’s largest range of all electric tube bending machinery and sits a alongside our Evbend range of machines,” said Alan Pickering, joint managing director at Unison Ltd. “Pneuform are the perfect fit for Unison, adding a wealth of experience and engineering expertise, given their deep-rooted history.
