Introducing the LockNess channel letter fastening machine
The LockNess revolutionizes the letter assembly process with its lightning-fast operation at an astounding 120 cycles per minute.
Seamlessly accommodating a variety of materials, including solid aluminum, pre-painted aluminum, polycarbonate (Lexan), and ACM (aluminum composite material like Alucobond or Durobond), the LockNess employs the cold metal joining technique, known as clinching, for solid and pre-painted aluminum letters. For polycarbonate and ACM letters, our self-piercing rivets (SPR) ensure secure and rapid fastening.
Its user-friendly interface ensures ease of use while delivering unmatched efficiency and safety compared to traditional methods, making the LockNess the ultimate choice for high-speed, precision channel letter production.
