Calculation support for precision tube bending systems.
Unison designs and manufactures tube bending machines used in precision engineering environments where machine setup and configuration need to be handled accurately.
These machines require calculations across different materials, geometries, and production scenarios so operators and engineers can configure them correctly for the job in front of them.
Previously, these calculations relied on manual methods or fragmented tools, making the process slower, harder to standardise, and more difficult to apply consistently across different use cases.
The challenge
Complex engineering calculations were required for machine configuration across different materials and operating scenarios.
Manual or fragmented tools slowed down engineering workflows and made the process harder to standardise.
Calculation outputs needed to stay consistent across different machines, jobs, and users.
The system had to support multiple configurations and use cases without losing clarity.
Results needed to be accurate, repeatable, and dependable in a production-oriented environment.
Interfaces had to remain usable for engineers working with practical machine setup decisions.
What we built
A multi-platform calculation system designed for engineering accuracy, repeatability, and practical use.
Multi-platform application
A calculation platform accessible across devices so engineers and operators can use the same system in different working contexts.
Structured calculation logic
Calculation rules are applied from defined machine and material parameters rather than from inconsistent manual methods.
Engineer-focused interfaces
Users can input and adjust variables through interfaces designed for technical, day-to-day engineering use.
Real-time outputs
The system generates calculation outputs immediately to support configuration, setup, and decision-making.
Consistent rule application
The same logic is applied across different scenarios to improve repeatability and confidence in results.
Support for multiple use cases
The platform handles different machine configurations and engineering scenarios within one connected system.
Flexible architecture
Calculation logic can be updated over time as machines, products, and process requirements evolve.
