Our line of support machines make you even more productive.
ChannelSander, ChannelStitcher and ChannelTrimmer round out the ChannelBender Series lineup and are compatible, not only with letter benders from SDS Automation, they are compatible with nearly any channel letter machine on the market. Our three support machines are essential building blocks for achieving maximum efficiency and productivity in your channel letter operations. These machines integrate cohesively into your manufacturing process to further reduce labor costs, improve efficiency and ultimately increase profit margins. ChannelSander, ChannelStitcher and ChannelTrimmer are key elements for delivering projects faster and more economically.
ChannelTrimmer
ChannelTrimmer is lightning fast, compact and easy to use. This trim cap processing solution processes most conventional trim cap materials with speed and accuracy that will dramatically increase efficiency and output. One ChannelTrimmer is capable of producing enough finished trim cap to support as many as six channel letter bending machines. Just imagine, this one, simple, easy to use machine can produce trim cap for as many as 600 letters per day!
ChannelStitcher
ChannelStitcher provides the strongest, fastest, most inexpensive method available for fastening channel letter backs to the flange of your front-lit letters. Bring the speed, strength and economic efficiency of an automatic fastening system to your channel letter assembly operations and achieve substantial, immediate reductions in labor and material costs with the addition of a ChannelStitcher from SDS Automation.
ChannelSander
ChannelSander reduces production time and slashes labor costs by automatically scuffing or sanding channel letter coil in preparation for custom painting. The sanding process is completed prior to forming letters on your channel letter bending machine.
Trimless® LetterForm
The Trimless® product line helps you beat out the competition with unique solutions.
