Channel Letter Bending
and Signmaking
Machines

We have the right machinery for any production level. Channel letters are a big part of storefront advertisement as they make up over 65% of all storefront signage. The average letter size is 16" and a best practice for exterior signage is to go no smaller than a 6" letter, which can be seen from the best impact of 60' and a total maximum readable distance of 200' away. 

Both the CLN FUSION and CLN FUSION+ machines will manufacture channel letters faster than any machine on the market. With their dual-loop servo drive system speed and accuracy is certain to make your channel letter department more profitable than ever. 

The process starts with the notching station and our 30-degree and 100-degree pneumatic notchers. From there the material is flanged to a 90-degree angle and the length of the flange can be easily adjusted. the FUSION and FUSION+ have patented rotating clamping dies which enable their unmatched speed. When it comes to the radiuses the machine opens its jaws and exposes the roll forming technology, feeding the material through a roller system creating smooth radiuses. The shear has been moved to the end of the process, allowing for zero wasted coil. ¼" drain hole punching is enabled on the FUSION and FUSION+ to eliminate costly mistakes. And specifically on the FUSION+ there's been a rotary cutting blade added to broach 0.063 aluminum material to get the tightest and most consistent bends possible.

Channel letters make up over 65% of all storefront signage, with the average size being 16 inches. Even a 6-inch letter, the smallest recommended size for a storefront, can have a significant impact, being visible from 60 feet away with maximum readability extending to 200 feet. This makes channel letters a critical component of any business's advertising strategy.

The Letter Lok clinching machines are engineered to transform the way channel letter backs are fastened to the returns, making traditional fasteners and adhesives obsolete. This groundbreaking clinching method not only enhances production speed but also ensures consistency and excellence in fastening materials of various thicknesses together.

Efficient and Consistent Fastening: By utilizing the clinching process, the Letter Lok machines facilitate rapid assembly of channel letters, boosting production throughput without sacrificing quality.

Elimination of Fasteners and Adhesives: The need for additional fastening materials such as screws, rivets, or glues is completely removed, streamlining the assembly process and reducing material costs.

Environmentally Friendly and Safe: The clinching process is clean, producing no harmful fumes or heat. This contributes to a safer work environment and reduces the risk of accidents or health hazards associated with traditional fastening methods.

Versatility for Various Sizes: Understanding that channel letters vary greatly in size, we offer an array of Letter Lok models tailored to accommodate any project requirement, ensuring the perfect fit for your specific needs.

1. Increased Production Efficiency: Dramatically reduce the time it takes to assemble channel letters, allowing for faster completion of projects and higher throughput.
2. Cost Savings: By eliminating the need for consumable fasteners or adhesives, the clinching process significantly lowers the cost of materials over time.
3. High-Quality Assembly: Clinching creates a secure and durable bond between materials, ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of your channel letters.
4. No Electrical Hook-up Required: The Letter Lok machines are designed for convenience and ease of use, requiring no electrical hook-up and thus offering flexibility in workshop layout and machine placement.

Choosing the right fastening equipment is as crucial as selecting the perfect bending machine for your channel letter production. With the Letter Lok series from Norlok Technology, you're not just investing in a machine; you're adopting a faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective assembly method.
