7 common channel letter bending tools
- Letter benders: These machines are the core tools used for bending the metal strips into the desired shapes of the letters. They can be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic, depending on the complexity of the bending process. Manual letter benders are operated by hand, while automated versions use computer-controlled programs to create precise bends.
- Notchers: Notching tools are used to cut precise V-shaped notches or grooves into the back of the metal letter faces. These notches allow for easy folding and assembly of the letters, as well as the installation of the LED modules or neon tubing for illumination.
- Flangers: Flangers are tools used to create flanges on the sides of the letter returns (the edges that give the letters their three-dimensional shape). Flanges are necessary for attaching the letter faces securely to the letter returns.
- Trim cap rollers: Trim cap is a plastic material used to cover the edges of the letter faces and give the letters a finished look. Trim cap rollers are used to apply the trim cap smoothly and evenly onto the edges of the letter faces.
- Pneumatic shears: Pneumatic shears are used to cut the metal strips to the required lengths for each letter.
- Pneumatic rivet guns: Rivet guns are used to fasten the various components of the channel letters together securely.
- CNC routers: While not exclusively used for channel letter bending, CNC routers are versatile tools that can cut and shape materials accurately, including the production of channel letter components.
Channel letter bending tools are essential for efficient and precise manufacturing of channel letters, helping sign makers create attractive and professional-looking signs for their clients. These tools save time, reduce waste, and enable sign makers to meet the high-quality standards required in the sign industry.
