Double bending machine
Swiss company Jorns AG celebrated its 50-year milestone anniversary in 2023 . The company is a specialist manufacturer of semi-automatic and fully automatic bending machines .
The company will be exhibiting at Dach & Holz ( 5-8 March 2024 ) in Stuttgart , Germany , on booth 407 ( Hall 7 ) with manufacturer Krasser GmbH as well as its local sales and service partner , Maschinen Stockert .
Jorns will present the Jorns JDB-150G- HM-DP-SE-1250-JC100-6.4-dsp double

Unison Synergy , a hybrid dual-stack tube bending machine .
The power of three
April 2024 is all set to be a particularly exciting time for Unison Ltd ( all-electric tube manipulation ), Nukon Lasers UK and wirebending machinery manufacturer , Pneuform Machines Ltd .
These three British companies make up the Unison family and the MACH 2024 exhibition ( 15-19 April 2024 ) will provide the first opportunity for their respective technologies to be presented side-by-side since Pneuform was acquired by Unison Ltd in 2023 . At the same time , over at Tube Düsseldorf in Germany , the tube and wire bending capabilities of Unison and Pneuform machines will be showcased together .
“ On show and operational at Stand 550 in Hall 20 at MACH 2024 , will be an all-electric Unison Breeze ‘ Twinhead ’ tube bending machine , a Unison Synergy hybrid dual-stack tube bender and a Pneuform 3D wire bending machine . A powerful European-built Nukon Rex 6kW flat sheet-metal fibre laser machine from Nukon Lasers UK will also be on display ,” confirmed Unison .
At Stand G27 in Hall 6 at Tube Düsseldorf , visitors will be able to discover the tube-and wire bending technologies offered across the Unison and Pneuform machine-tool ranges . One of Unison ’ s manually operated , CNCcontrolled EvBend machines will also be on display . Specially developed for low-volume precision tube bending , EvBend models are used across the aerospace , MRO , motorsport and oil & gas industries .
“ We have also made significant enhancements to the Pneuform model range for 2024 and are proud to support Pneuform machines with our uncompromising levels of aftersales care ,” concluded Unison Ltd ’ s joint managing director , Alan Pickering . n
