Also showcased on the Unison stand were its range of advanced software tools. Advanced 3D simulation, Opt2Sim, allows users to analyse, optimise and validate programs without needing access to the physical machine. TubeWorks tube bending CAD/CAM software package enables users to automatically extract key manufacturing information such as bend angles and rotations from a native SolidWorks model or a common CAD file format – reducing the time that it takes to develop programs for CNC tube bending dramatically, typically from hours to just minutes.

Complementing the tube machine business is sister company, Ingenium Integration Ltd highlighted its design consultancy services, from robotic cells to integrated production lines and turnkey automated systems designed to save customers time and money.
