Today, aluminum and steel signs are no longer just advertising tools, but are part of the brand identity of any store or company.
But behind these shiny, shapely letters, there is a vital machine: Typesetting machine.
This machine is responsible for bending, cutting, and preparing metal and aluminum strips that later become the glowing raised letters.
If you want to create clean, precise, and unwarped letters, you need a typesetting machine with precise settings and sharp blades.
Now let's see exactly what this device is, what models it has, and what tips you need to know for each material.
The Channel Letter Bending Machine is responsible for bending metal strips such as chelnium, steel, or aluminum. Bend it into raised letters..
In the past, this work was done manually, and the output was often irregular or full of errors.
But now automatic machines do this with an accuracy of a tenth of a millimeter.
The overall process consists of 3 steps:
Tape cutting (Cutting): Special blades cut the tape to the desired size.
Slotting & Notching: To make curved parts easier to shape.
Bending and shaping: The strip is bent at a precise angle in the direction of the design to take the shape of the letters.
Each device is designed for a specific material, depending on the motor power and type of blades.
Below we will review the most important of them 👇
