The EvBend 2000 rotary draw tube bending machine combines manual set-up with semi-manual operation of the bending arm, which features servomotor power assistance. However, Unison says that precise tube bending results are assured by a CNC control system for the tube feed, carriage rotation and bend axes.
Users can create bending programs in two ways. First, by entering the standard tube bending information (XYZ/YBC/LRA values, or the distance the tube is fed out, rotated and bent) into dialogue screens on the EvBend's Windows operator interface. Alternatively, users can program the machine using a teach mode.
