Leading Tube and Pipe Fabrication Specialists Invest in 7th Unison Tube Bender
Continuing investment in versatile all-electric bending machinery from Unison Ltd is helping one of the Midwest US ’ s leading tube and pipe fabrication specialists , Sharpe Products of Wisconsin , to meet the evolving business challenges in its sector of the metalworking industry .
Sharpe made the investment to give the company an edge in meeting the everchanging demands of the tube and pipe jobbing business . Most customers no longer want to invest in stock , and batch sizes have reduced dramatically . This means that machine set-up times become a major factor in job pricing . Any scrap generated during set-up – which can often run into several pieces when using older hydraulically-actuated bending machines – also negatively impacts job costs . Unison machines are designed for quick tool changeovers and right first time bending thus reducing total cost to manufacture .
