Steelway’s recent investment in an Electric Tube Bender from AMOB’s MDH Series marks a significant leap forward in commitment to innovation and efficiency. This state-of-the-art equipment brings numerous benefits to Steelway’s manufacturing processes.
- Precision and Versatility: Utilising the automated features of the numerically controlled Electric Tube Bender we are able to control our manufacturing tolerances and angle. Furthermore we can now manufacture handrail with tighter bend radius than ever before and control accuracy in 4 dimensions.
- Ease of Use: We specified this investment to allow us to have a simple operation. The interface of our new Electric Tube Bender is seamless with the outputs from our drawing office which enables ease of manufacture and significantly reduces any opportunity for error.
- Efficiency: We opted for an electric tube bender to ensure we continued to push forward with our business efficiency focus. The MDH Tube Bender is engineered to reduce power consumption and maintenance costs, and its simple design facilitates quick tool adjustments, ensuring optimal performance while minimising operational expenses.
- Compact Design: Despite operating from a large manufacturing footprint, our high levels of production mean that space in our factories is always a premium. In preparation for the arrival of our new Electric Tube Bender we have been making some changes to our manufacturing layouts and have ensured that we have a designated space for the tube bender to live.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
The investment on the Electric Tube Bender represents a significant enhancement to Steelway’s manufacturing capabilities. By improving first-time manufacturing accuracy and reducing operator handling, this advanced equipment enables them to meet and exceed customer quality expectations and delivery deadlines. Furthermore, its enhanced design flexibility achieves tighter bend angles and shorter distances between bends, overcoming previous manufacturing constraints.
This new machinery serves as the cornerstone of Steelway’s commitment to ongoing improvement and innovation. As the first of many planned investments in advanced machinery, it underpins the company’s dedication to enhancing product quality and streamlining manufacturing processes. By staying at the forefront of technological advancements, Steelway aims to remain a leader in the industry, delivering unparalleled value to customers.
