The ACCU-BEND is the only machine in the world to completely layout, notch, flange (bend the notched 1?2 inch bottom), and completely bend the full final shape of the channel letter return. No other machine on the world comes close! What normally would take 30 to 45 minutes to shape and form by hand, the ACCU-BEND completes perfectly in about 4 to 5 minutes.
Say goodbye to hand brakes and radius pipes!!!
The ACCU-BEND can produce all types of channel letters, including the most common traditional letter, with a notched and flanged bottom edge used for attaching the back, welded letters with a straight return side wall which is welded to the letter back, reverse channel letters which have the fronts welded to the straight return wall, and back lit channel letters, which allow light to be seen escaping from the back of the letter.
The ACCU-BEND machine excepts .dxf formatted files from your favorite Sign software. Having already produced the artwork for your aluminum backs and plastic faces, just output the .dxf file, select the letters to be bent, and remove the completed letters. It's that simple. With the soaring cost of labor, why would you want to bend channel letters by hand?
The ACCU-BEND machines are covered by a full one year warranty, covering both parts and labor. Unlimited (800) support for the life of the machines.
The ACCU-BEND is installed and your company is trained on-site producing channel letter returns within the first day. The machine is so easy to use, any one at your company can produce the highest quality letter within no time.
The letter bending machine keeps the production time for a channel letter return very short: between 600 and 800% faster than manual bending.
The computer-controlled Accu-Bend machine can bend a letter to your exact specifications in just a few minutes, including a bottom notched flange. The machine shapes corners and curves with equal ease. The completed letter is then ready for the aluminum back to be clinched, stapled riveted, or welded on.
The Accu-Bend machine has a production capability equivalent to about seven people.
The width or depth of the channel letter coil can range from 1 to 9.5 inches. The aluminum used can vary in thickness from 0.03 to 0.063 inch.
The Accu-Bend comprises three component pieces: a computer console, a motorized material-feed table which can accommodate up to 400 lbs. of material and keeps material from uncoiling, and finally the bending machine. A true heavyweight, the machine consumes only 12 x 6-ft. space but weighs about 1,800 pounds.
With the Accu-Bend, the only manual steps involve loading/unloading metal-coil stock material and final assembly of the finished letter. Using this machine, a standard, 24-in. channel letter takes approximately five minutes to produce.
The Accu-Bend as shown above has the Robotic Auto Pilot System installed which facilitates running the Accu-Bend without human intervention.
| This machine has been specially developed to fasten two aluminum parts together. Light steel parts can also be attached together.
The ACCU-CLINCH Uses a bottom punch and top die to press form (clinch) the two pieces together. For channel letters this machine will attach the aluminum back to the aluminum side wall return. At a rate of about 40 clinches per minute, an operator can attach a back to a standard 24 inch high letter in about two minutes.
There are no consumables used for attaching the letter back to the side wall return (no rivets, staples, or stitch material).
