Phenix Explained

Phenix is a ‘unique‘ 21st century revolutionary, open source and expandable, efficient and economical intuitive system that unlocks and increases the power of digital on your old, out of warranty CNC & NC tube bending machine/s.

So, when your budget doesn’t allow for a new machine, but your existing machines control and software is faulty, unreliable, virtually scrap. Your best low-cost solution is to… Keep and upgrade to ‘Phenix’ all of your existing CNC / NC tube bending machine/s.

Phenix Explained… There are so many well-known CNC tube bender manufacturers offering new and expensive high-end products that have skipped the enormous task of creating an actual CNC control system that can be supported indefinitely and instead, are using general-purpose motion controllers, one per axis.

This means they are unwittingly putting you at the mercy of the likes of OMRON, Rexroth, and other component parts manufacturers. These companies have their own competition and will EOL (end-of-life) a product whenever it suits them.

All too often this will mean CNC tube bending machines are discarded for the simple reason of no support for old, often proprietary control systems hardware and software.

Mechanical elements such as bearings, bushings, linkages, gears, ball-screws, and hydraulics are easily repaired or replaced but the electronics are not.

Language notwithstanding, most CNC tube bender manufacturers are powerless when it comes to supporting their older products because the core elements have been obsoleted by their suppliers.

Your machine manufacturer will have moved on with their latest offerings to other proprietary architecture that is not backwards compatible. Shrugging their shoulders when you need support leaving you high and dry with NO service, NO support, and NO backup.

Your only options are:

  1. Let your machine manufacturer re-control your machine. The problem is they will use parts soon to be EOL (end-of-life) again. Starting you on the hamster wheel all over again.
  2. Try and find obsolete parts, maybe by cannibalising other old machines for their parts, not a good idea.
  3. Scrap your machine and invest in a new machine unwittingly you will be forced back to square one starting the Hamster wheel cycle all over again.

A Better Solution
Don’t scrap it – Upgrade to Phenix

Inspired by Phoenix the ancient and mythical golden bird rising from the ashes of its previous life, the Phoenix is a symbol of hope, of life and of better things to come from renewal and regeneration rising from the ashes of its previous life.

Upgrade to Phenix and profit from its enviable reputation for innovative and technical excellence. Now you can say goodbye to the EOL Hamster wheel and rise up, upgrade and simplify with ‘Phenix’ the unique, revolutionary 21st century CNC controllers and trend setting software packages.

Born in 1987 Phenix was the world’s first all-digital-motion CNC control system, and is still leading and outpacing all others, there are NO comparisons. Designed and developed specifically for tube bending machines. A Revolutionary, 21st century Open-source, Expandable, Efficient and Economical Intuitive System that unlocks and increases the power of digital on your old, faulty, unreliable CNC & NC tube bending machine/s and elevating them in to High Performance ‘Majestic’ Production Machines

Today, we have the features, flexibility and skill set’s to accommodate and ‘Phenix’ all makes of CNC tube bending machines with any number of CNC axes, be-it a standalone machine or integrated with robot load/unload and other work-cell apparatus to give them new life and bring them back to ‘better than new’. This new high performance capability increases production and allows your machines to work:

Better – Faster – Smarter!

We have plans to upgrade several new ‘Phenix’ installations during 2024 and will happily quote to ‘upgrade to Phenix’ your tube bending machine/s to give them many years of new high performance production life. All for just a fraction the investment you would expect to pay for a new machine saving you a load of valuable cash-flow.

All together Better

See examples of how by upgrading, Phenix has Revolutionised and Transformed what were thought to be scrap machines due to faulty or failed controls and no service, no support, and no back up from the manufacturers.
Now, after upgrading to Phenix, within a few weeks are in full High-Speed Production.

No: 1 example: Caro cell multi-axes production cell capable of producing a 3 bend part every 3 seconds complete with auto-loading system.

No: 3 example: BLM Dynam-0 mandrel tube bending machine

No: 4 example Sequential bending complete with auto-load over mandrel, bending, cutting – repeat
