Brandrite Installation

Brandrite Sign Company Installation

It is extremely rare for us to have used equipment for sale here at SDS Automation. Typically, customers buy one machine then add more in the coming months and years in order to improve efficiency and increase output capacity.

On those rare occasions that we are able to offer factory refurbished equipment, it sells almost immediately. Just like new SDS Automation equipment, a factory refurbished ChannelBender machine includes a full parts and labor warranty and even on-site installation and training.

Jay Oberholtzer of BRANDRITE SIGN COMPANY INC was one of those lucky customers who just happened to call at the right time. He picked up a factory refurbished trim cap machine to help speed up the trim capping process that his shop.

A few weeks ago we got a call from Ann Lashley of Sign Leaders Wholesale in MO. Ann shared that her business suffered a fire and all of their channel letter equipment was damaged. After hearing the devastating news I was determined to pull out all the stops to get their channel letter operations back up and running as fast as possible.

We had Ann and Todd’s new #ChannelBender SXP fully operational within 2-weeks. Thank you Ann Lashley and Todd Lashley for choosing SDS Automation to upgrade your channel letter automation equipment. It was a pleasure working with you and your team!

LetterForm Coils

Trouble finding channel letter coil?

SDS Automation can help.

We have thousands of coils of Trimless LetterForm in stock for immediate shipping. LetterForm is a patented channel letter coil only available to SDS Automation customers that can only be processed on select ChannelBender Series channel letter machines.

To place an order or to learn more about LetterForm and SDS Automation’s ChannelBender series please contact us:

Our patented EasyClip® system simplifies the installation of LetterForm channel letters. Simply attach the back panel to the wall and snap the face/return assembly onto the EasyClips which are riveted to the back panels. EasyClips are hidden inside the return after assembly is complete. If a letter requires service, rather than removing countless screws, simply snap off the face/return assembly, complete the repair, and snap it back into place.

LetterForm is available in Gloss White, Gloss Black, Brushed Aluminum, Polished Stainless Steel or Primer Coated and ready to paint any color you like. We also can produce LetterForm in custom colors (minimum order required). Contact us if you’d like more information on a custom color order.

LetterForm can only be processed on the ChannelBender SX, ChannelBender SXP, and ChannelBender R/T machines, giving our customers a substantial competitive advantage over other sign companies whose bending machines can only fabricate the simplest, most generic types of channel letters.
