ChannelBender® SX
Precision automated channel letter bending technology for sign makers.
The ChannelBender SX can produce both flanged and reverse channel letters from 1″ to 8″ coil. In addition to .026″ to .063″ thick aluminum, and depending on thickness, brass and stainless material. The SX can also process LetterForm®, our proprietary Trimless® return material. This innovative material eliminates the need for conventional plastic trim cap, enabling sign makers to produce Trimless channel letters.
The ChannelBender SX also has the ability to broach LetterForm return material as well as stainless, polished brass and copper. The broaching feature is a patented process that scores a shallow groove vertically across the interior surface of the return at the exact location of sharp, angled bends. Broaching results in crisp, sharp, precise bends and allows for the forming of intricate shapes, like 1/4″ serifs, which were previously impossible to automate.
The ChannelBender® Series, manufactured by SDS and available only from SDS Automation, is a line of automated channel letter fabrication machines known as the fastest, most reliable and precise technology available to sign makers. Rigorous testing shows ChannelBenders can complete the process of bending returns 15% to 30% faster than the nearest competitive machines, and cut hand finishing time by an additional 30% or more. Customer feedback indicates it is typical to achieve return on investment between 12 and 18 months.
The ChannelBender SX’s unique broaching feature produces crisper, sharper bends and intricate shapes previously thought impossible to automate. In addition to aluminum, brass, and stainless material, the ChannelBender SX can process LetterForm, our proprietary aluminum return material, for the production of Trimless channel letters..
