Craig started his illustrious career with Addison Tube Forming Ltd in 1981 and was soon promoted to technical sales and service engineer to launch Addison products in the USA. His career has taken him around the world gaining invaluable experience.
A brief history of the evolution of Phenix.
In 1987, Phenix was born and was the worlds first all-digital-motion CNC / NC control system, specifically for tube bending. This was also the first ever to feature the very robust capacitive touch-screen technology and graphical user interface (GUI). Our first major customer was, at the time, the world’s No:1 car producer. In 1988, we were contracted by Italy’s No:1 CNC Tube Bender producer to bring this trend setting technology to their line of CNC & NC tube bending machines which resulted in 100+ units per year. In 1993, Pines, the inventor of the CNC tube bender, decided to switch from their own in-house developed control technology to ours.
During this time Craig was head-hunter by some of the world’s leading tube bending machine manufacturers. He instead started his own Adaptive Motion Control Systems business designing and developing innovative software controls specifically for tube bending machines.
It’s true that some tube bending machine manufacturing companies have attempted and many still do adapt standard machine-tool CNC’s to tube bending machines but tube forming / bending is a highly specialised process and G-code programming doesn’t relate to Lengths, Rotations and Angles (LRA’s), not to mention the handling of Automatic Spring-back Compensation, Multi-Stack tooling, Carriage Boosting, and the list goes on.
Craig has continued to evolve Phenix Revolutionary Controllers and New Unrivalled Superfast Software, out pacing all others. Now supplying the world with the best and most advanced Trend Setting Superfast software solutions for every tube bending application.
Say’s Craig, “Knowing the weakness and shortcomings of most manufacturers and suppliers we formed a team of professional engineers with a vast wealth of experience in CNC tube bending to develop new advanced, trend-setting, and flexible software packages, that are loaded with benefits designed to help you maximise your production out-put to new increased levels.
This leading-edge philosophy goes beyond the high demands of the: aerospace, automotive, furniture, display, medical aides, Oil & Gas Industries, Ship Builders, Power Stations, and suppliers of Architectural and General Pipe & Section Bending industries. Ticking all the right boxes to provide our customers with an Unfair, Hassel Free, Advantage”.
