AMOB UK, on behalf of the AMOB Group, will present a fully integrated tube-bending and inspection workflow at MACH 2026, taking place from 20–24 April at the NEC, Birmingham.
Located at Stand 6-170, directly at the entrance to Hall 6 opposite the registration area, the AMOB exhibit will feature two all-electric CNC tube bending machines operating live throughout the show, alongside on-stand tube measurement and inspection using Hexagon systems.
The live demonstrations will centre on the eMOB-100 and eMOB-52-2bend all-electric tube benders. The eMOB-100, with a maximum tube capacity of ⌀100 mm, will be shown in a multi-stack, variable-radius configuration, demonstrating high-precision bending for demanding applications. Alongside it, the eMOB-52-2bend will showcase AMOB’s dual-head bending capability for tube up to ⌀52 mm, allowing complex multi-radius parts to be produced efficiently in a single setup.
Both machines will be bending tube live, allowing visitors to see real-world production rather than static displays or simulated demonstrations.
A key feature of the stand will be the integration of the bending machines with Hexagon tube inspection and portable measurement systems. Real bent parts produced on the eMOB machines can be measured on the stand, illustrating a practical closed-loop workflow where tube geometry can be verified immediately and adjustments made with confidence. Visitors will also be able to handle the inspection equipment themselves and see how measurement data supports faster setup, improved first-time accuracy, and consistent repeatability.
AMOB’s approach reflects its focus on complete process control. In addition to machine design and manufacture, the company also designs and manufactures its tube bending tooling in-house. This vertical integration allows tighter alignment between machine, tooling, and application requirements, helping manufacturers reduce lead times and maintain consistent bending quality across different materials and batch sizes.
Visitors to Stand 6-170 will be able to speak with AMOB UK’s technical and service team throughout the show, including project and service specialists, to discuss machine capability, tooling design, and inspection workflows in detail.
The systems that will be on display at MACH 2026 are used across a wide range of sectors including automotive, aerospace, subcontract tube bending, general fabrication, architectural metalwork, and transport component manufacture. The live demonstrations at MACH will focus on applications where accuracy, repeatability, and process stability are critical.
Tom Wood, Managing Director of AMOB UK, said, ‘By running both machines live and inspecting real parts on the stand, we are showing how bending and measurement work together in practice, not as a concept. For manufacturers working to tight tolerances, especially in automotive and aerospace, this kind of integrated workflow is increasingly important.’
Wood added that MACH provides an ideal platform to speak directly with engineers and production managers about real applications rather than theoretical capability.
REFLECTING ON THE SUCCESS OF MACH 2024
Our presence at MACH 2026 builds on the incredible momentum of our last appearance at the show. MACH 2024 was a landmark event for AMOB UK, marked by a record number of visitors to our stand and a high level of interest in our bespoke tooling and sustainable all-electric solutions. It was a week filled with insightful conversations, new partnerships, and the successful sale of several showroom models right off the floor. As we prepare for this year’s exhibition, we invite you to look back at some of the highlights and the vibrant atmosphere from our 2024 showcase in the gallery below.
