The Advantages of Varisigns Automatic Letter Bender

Varisigns automatic letter bender, also known as the channel letter bending machine, CNC channel letter bender, channel bender, channel letter machine, or 3D sign maker machine.

Whatever you prefer to call it, the bending machine is replacing our manual channel letter tools for signage fabrication. It is the future of the sign-making industry. This makes sense, as they are effective, efficient, and simply better at producing signs than humans.

To manufacture a top-quality channel letter sign, you need pretty heavy-duty channel letter equipment. But there is more to this equipment than meets the eye. Not only does it have to be heavy-duty, but it also needs to be accurate.

Unlike other manufacturers of similar machines, we do not outsource any parts of the manufacturing process.

All of our machines are manufactured in our own dedicated CNC center on our premises. The process is overseen by qualified engineers working to tight tolerances. That is why companies often find it difficult to manufacture high-quality channel-bending machines.

A machine needs to be able to handle different materials while providing a more delicate touch.

Our machine will help you fabricate trimless channel letters. It will also trim, cap, letter, reverse, and handle the entire manufacturing process. That includes halo-lit 3D letters and the use of stainless steel and aluminum.

However, the questions may be: How do you make channel letters with this machine? How do you choose the right one for your 3D signage production? How do you maintain the machine? Why choose Varisigns automatic channel letter machines? What sets it apart from the others?

Keep reading, and you’ll have all the answers.

The Telescopic Bending System Provides a Smaller Radius.

Compared to other suppliers’ automatic channel letter bending machines on the market, all our channel letter benders use the alternating telescopic bending system, including the most affordable aluminum bending machine.

This enables you to achieve flawless results even with small bend angles or sharp corners. For instance, the minimum channel letter can be up to 60mm (2.4”) high, and the maximum can exceed 2 meters (80”) high. In other words, whether in big or small letters, you can be sure your 3D letters will look flawless.

Bender Software is Simple and Easy to Operate.

The self-developed automatic channel-bending machine software is regularly updated, so you can be sure that the English interface is easy to understand and follow. In addition, TeamViewer remote support is available whenever you need it, should you run into problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about the automatic channel letter bending

Can the Channel Letter Bender VAM-S6 Plus with a V-notch bend the bottom 90-degree flange?

No, the letter bender VAM-S6 Plus is multifunctional for almost all channel letter making, including trimless, reverse, halo-lit, and trim-cap channel letters. It only excludes the V-notch and flange functions, which the bender VAM-S18 does not have.

The VAM-S6 Plus has the same capabilities for bending material thickness and height as the VAM-S18. It also features two pieces of slotting blades. Still, the saw blade can swing to achieve different slot angles for various aluminum profiles, allowing it to bend aluminum coils in different styles.
