Unison to provide all-electric tube bender to Byers Precision Fabricators

Unison’s new North American support office in Asheville, N.C., has received its first order. The company will deliver a dual-head, all-electric CNC tube bending machine to Byers Precision Fabricators Inc. of Hendersonville, N.C., a producer of components and assemblies made from sheet and tubular aluminum and stainless steel.

Most of Byers’ tubular parts are fabricated from 0.375- to 1-in. ANSI Sch. 40 or 80 stainless steel pipe stock. Until now, Byers has outsourced the bulk of its tube and pipe bending needs to third-party suppliers.

The machine is a customized version of the Breeze 2-in.-capacity, CNC, all-electric tube bender. The machine features two independent bend heads that provide both left- and right-hand bending to accommodate the most complex shape requirements.
