Channel letter bending has been made easier with the new Black Rhino AT3 PLUS Automatic Channel Letter bender, a fully automatic aluminium profile bending machine that is used to create accurate letter returns in the manufacturing of channel letters.
The AT3 PLUS can bend aluminium, stainless steel and galvanised iron. The minimum bending radius is 6mm, with the height of the return ranging from 20-200mm. The entire system is driven by the smooth Fuji servos from Japan.
The machine can precisely bend and shape materials to create consistent and accurate channel letter components. This ensures that each letter is uniform in size and shape, leading to a more professional and polished finished product.
These machines can significantly speed up the production process compared to some manual bending methods. They can also quickly produce a large volume of channel letters in a relatively short amount of time, improving overall workflow efficiency.
By automating the bending process, businesses can reduce their reliance on skilled manual labour, leading to cost savings in labour expenses. This also helps minimise the risk of errors that may occur during manual bending.
Automatic benders ensure consistent quality across all channel letters produced. This consistency is crucial for maintaining a professional brand image and delivering high-quality signage to clients. These machines are also efficient at optimising material usage, resulting in minimal wastage. This can lead to cost savings on materials in the long run.
Automatic benders can handle complex letter shapes and designs that may be challenging to achieve manually. This enables endless creative possibilities for sign makers and allows for the production of intricate and eye-catching signage. In addition to channel letters, some automatic benders can be used to create other types of signage components, such as sign cabinets, light boxes, and more. This versatility makes them an undeniable investment for any sign making business.
Operating an automatic channel letter bender may require less training than developing the expertise needed for manual bending techniques. This can lead to quicker onboarding for new employees and less time spent on training and skill development. Businesses that invest in automatic channel letter benders can offer quicker turnaround times and consistently high-quality signage, giving them a competitive edge in the market and the potential to attract more customers.
Exion Corp recently sold the latest AT3 PLUS version to RedLetter at the Sign Africa Expo, with the machine being collected on 15 September. ‘RedLetter are now equipped with two Black Rhino V3 machines and their new AT3 PLUS. I believe they are probably the most productive channel letter fabricators in South Africa at the moment,’ said Cedric Pillay, COO at Exion.
Clement Naidoo, Managing Director at RedLetter, praised the machine for its speed, production and new market opportunities, as well as the service from Exion Corp.
‘The Black Rhino AT3 PLUS automatic channel letter bender has been a game-changer for our business in several ways. It has significantly improved our production efficiency. The machine’s ability to precisely bend and shape materials to create consistent and accurate channel letter components has resulted in a more professional and polished finished product. This uniformity across all letters has enhanced our brand image and allowed us to deliver higher quality signage to our clients.’
‘In terms of speed, the AT3 PLUS has drastically increased our production capacity. We can now produce an even larger volume of channel letters in a relatively short amount of time, which has streamlined our workflow and allowed us to meet tight deadlines more effectively. This improved production speed has been crucial in accommodating the growing demand for our services.’
Naidoo said that the AT3 PLUS has opened up new market opportunities for his business. ‘With its ability to produce high-quality, consistent channel letters efficiently, we are now able to cater to a broader clientele. The speed and precision of the machine allow us to take on larger projects and meet the demands of clients with tight schedules.’
The machine has also given RedLetter the flexibility to offer custom and intricate signage solutions that were previously challenging to achieve. This has attracted clients seeking unique and eye-catching signage for various applications, including retail stores, restaurants, and corporate branding.
‘Our experience with Exion Corp has been nothing short of excellent. From the initial inquiry to the final installation of the AT3 PLUS, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and outstanding customer support. They provided comprehensive training to ensure our staff could operate the machine efficiently and achieve the best results. Furthermore, Exion Corp’s support doesn’t end with the sale. They have been responsive to any questions or issues we’ve encountered and have provided timely assistance when needed. Their commitment to ensuring that we get the most out of our investment has been greatly appreciated,’ concluded Naidoo.
