(Summary description)[According to a report by Aviation Manufacturing Magazine in April 2014] Aviation pipe fitting manufacturer SL Engineering (SLE) continued to invest in advanced automation technology and purchased a second all-electric CNC pipe bender from Unison. The new machine tool enhances SLE's manufacturing capabilities, especially the ability to produce more flexible tubular shapes, and also expands the size of all-electric servo-controlled bendable pipe fittings to 80mm. SLE said: "The advanced forming capabilities of the tube bender give aircraft and engine manufacturers an advantage to deal with more complex shapes and more challenging bending radii to reduce weight, save space, and eliminate welded joints. Unison machine tool bending Ability to better control the thrust of pipe fixtures and brackets helps us achieve higher accuracy." SLE's business requires greater manufacturing flexibility. There are about 5-25 parts per batch, and the cold heading machine order may only have one urgent aircraft part. Higher accuracy and complexity of appearance are another aspect. Until recently, very few pipe fittings required a bending radius within 2D (2 times the pipe diameter). However, today, SLE continues to receive requirements for bending 1D, and the straight edge section between the bends of the cold heading machine is still required to be small. The use of thin-walled pipe fittings and expensive materials such as titanium alloys and nickel alloys for cold heading machines are also a trend. These demands drive the use of all-electric bending technology. SLE installed a 30mm diameter Breeze model in 2010. The new Breeze80 has a elbow diameter of 80mm. The machine tool has also added multi-batch/multi-radius tooling capabilities. This is very important for forming some complex tubular shapes and multiple bending sequences. For example, the shape of a military aircraft part requires multiple 2D bends, with as few straight sections as possible between the bends, and thin-walled titanium alloy pipes are used. The ellipticity after bending should also be less than 5%, and the position and length tolerance after bending and welding should reach ±0.005 inches. Since the parts are made of titanium alloy, the bending must be correct once, otherwise it is almost impossible to adjust after forming. The uniformity and repeatability of the Unison machine tool is critical to manufacturing this part.
