ChannelBender® SXP
The state-of-the-art channel letter system for traditional and advanced channel letter forming
This is the most advanced channel letter machine available to the sign-making industry. It can form traditional face-lit or halo-lit channel letters of nearly any height (1” to 8”)and thicknesses of .032” to .063”.
It can process specialty materials such as polished stainless steel and mild steel in minutes. It also can run our proprietary Trimless® LetterForm® materials with ease. Just imagine being able to automatically form letters as small as three inches tall and serifs as small as 3/16". No other machine in the industry even comes close.

Electronically height-adjustable hole punching is one of the many ground-breaking features available only on ChannelBender SXP. Our exclusive, patented hydraulic hole punching unit eliminates manual drilling of 1/4″ drain holes and 1/8″ pilot holes for rivets or screws. Holes can be positioned anywhere in the return or the flange and it can even punch multiple holes both horizontally and vertically. Our software can recognize hole positions in the dxf file used to cut the back panel of the letter and the SXP will automatically create a corresponding rivet hole in the flange. Automating this tedious, manual task saves time and greatly increases accuracy and efficiency.
The ChannelBender® Series by SDS Automation is the line of automated channel letter fabrication equipment that is widely recognized as being the fastest, most precise, and reliable solutions available to sign makers. Rigorous testing by our customers shows ChannelBender bending machines can complete the process of bending returns up to 30% faster than the nearest competitor’s machines. Additionally, hand finishing time can be reduced by 40% or more compared to other many other bending machines. Customer feedback indicates it is typical to achieve a return on investment in a very short period of time.
