THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY MANUFACTURING: AMOB UK DELIVERS A CUSTOM TURNKEY SOLUTION
Driving Efficiency in UK Mobility Manufacturing
In the competitive world of mobility and medical device production, efficiency, precision, and flawless surface finish are essential. One of the UK’s leading manufacturers of walking aids recently faced a familiar challenge: an outdated production line that could no longer keep pace with modern demand.
To consolidate operations and boost output, they turned to AMOB UK for a next-generation tube bending solution. The objective was clear — to upgrade and simplify aluminium tube processing, ensuring consistent quality across all product sizes while significantly increasing throughput.
THE PRODUCTION CHALLENGE: TWO MACHINES, ONE GOAL
Based in Sheffield, the client had been relying on two ageing machines. Though still functional, they were slowing down production, required frequent maintenance, and lacked the automation and precision expected in modern high-volume manufacturing.
The task was to find a single, highly efficient system capable of handling 22.20mm aluminium tubes at high speed and with a perfect surface finish. It needed to be more than a replacement — it had to become an intelligent, centralised production hub.
THE AMOB SOLUTION: EMOB 32 LR – PRECISION IN MOTION
AMOB UK delivered a complete turnkey bending package, centred around the fully electric eMOB 32 LRwith left-right bending capability.
The eMOB 32 LR offers exceptional speed, repeatable accuracy, and high energy efficiency, making it ideal for continuous, demanding production cycles. It was paired with a 2400mm automatic loaderfeaturing a 60-tube capacity, enabling smooth, uninterrupted material flow and maximum machine uptime.
KEY BENEFITS: QUALITY, AUTOMATION, AND ROI
The installation of the eMOB 32 LR brought a series of clear advantages:
• Automation and Consolidation
Replaced two legacy machines with one fully automated system, freeing valuable floor space and reducing maintenance complexity.
• Flawless Finish Guaranteed
Surface marking had been a recurring issue. AMOB solved this with Nylon non-marking tooling, ensuring each aluminium tube is bent without blemishes or distortion. This eliminated the need for post-bending finishing or polishing, saving both time and labour costs.
• True Turnkey Integration
AMOB provided more than just machinery. The system arrived pre-programmed, tested, and fully optimised, allowing immediate production with minimal downtime and instant return on investment.
• Purpose-Built Versatility
The machine was finely tuned for the client’s specific aluminium tube sizes, guaranteeing consistent results and structural integrity across their entire product range of walking aids.
A FUTURE-PROOF INVESTMENT
This project demonstrates AMOB UK’s commitment to delivering tailored, high-performance solutionsfor the mobility and medical sectors. By consolidating two machines into a single, automated eMOB 32 LR platform, the client has future-proofed its production while setting a new benchmark for precision, efficiency, and surface quality.
AMOB UK is proud to support leading British manufacturers in achieving greater productivity and uncompromised quality through advanced engineering.
