Olicana credits its success of fabricating millions of products to its automated, unmanned 5-axis tube bending cell.
Olicana Products Ltd. (Yorkshire, England), tube bending specialists, has recently completed the production of its five millionth tubular steel bath leg using it’s unmanned Robotized Manufacturing Cell supplied by UK-based tube bending machine specialists, Unison.
Olicana purchased the automated 5 Axis Tube Bending cell eight years ago. The process includes automated loading of the cut lengths of tube into the automated 5 axis tube bending machine, robot removal and placing of the complex bent tube into an all electric press that punches holes into the product in different planes.
A robot then moves the finished product from the press and places it onto the collection rails ready for packing and distribution.
Olicana’s managing director, Rupert Pearson recently attended Unison’s 40th anniversary dinner and official opening of their new manufacturing facility.
