ChannelBender® XD
The first and only automated process for bending .080″ aluminum.
SDS Automation is leading the way, once again, with its new ChannelBender XD, which can bend .080″ aluminum and can produce flanged and reverse letters in coil ranging from 1.5″ to 8.5″ in height. It can also bend .032″, .040″ and .063″ thick aluminum. The XD from SDS is proving to the sign making industry, yet again, that innovation can solve many fabricating challenges by automating channel letter fabrication using .080″ aluminum.
ChannelBender XD, with its adjustable broaching mechanism, has the ability to precisely fabricate aluminum return materials. Broaching results in crisp, sharp, precise bends and allows for the forming of intricate shapes, like ¾” serifs using .080″ aluminum, 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 XD is the most powerful channel letter machine available, making the processing of .080″ aluminum returns quick and painless. If a large part of your business comes from the fabrication of traditional or reverse channel letters, the ChannelBender XD is a must-have. Why build letters the hard way when the XD can automate the process quickly and precisely.
The price of a fully equipped ChannelBender XD includes set-up, installation, and on-site training at your facility. Additionally, two years of software updates, lifetime phone and remote access tech support from a U.S.-based technician, and a two year parts and labor warranty are included. There is no optional equipment and there are no hidden fees. By the conclusion of your comprehensive training, you will know how to competently operate and maintain your new ChannelBender series machine.
