Our main vacuum forming table will accommodate a size of 6'x10' in a single piece. Our primary unit has 11 different heating zones that control the degree of heat required to vacuum form signs of different sizes. These heating zones enable us to vacuum form sign faces, POP and display items with crisp, sharp definition. We are able to vacuum form Lexan (polycarbonate), Acrylic, PVC, PETG, and many other substrates. We are able to vacuum form some plastics at greater depth. For smaller projects and some low quantities, we utilize our 48"x48" thermoforming table.
CAD-CAM tables
Our computerized (CAD-CAM) router tables (6'x10' and 4'x4') are used to router cut exact shapes, cut out letters and logos, and carve "V-groove" lettering and logos in our signs (using our 3-D software). Cutting by CAD-CAM ensures that each sign is exactly to size, shapes are perfectly cut, and multiple signs are exact replicas.
Automotive Painting System & Booth
Our Automotive Painting System and Booth is used to paint almost any substrate. It has an automated mixing station.
Sandblasting
Every wooden sign is sanded smooth and level using our large, 53" automated sanding unit. Once the planks are glued together, there could be some variation in the wood level. To ensure that your sign is perfectly flat and square, this sanding unit smooths the surface to a perfect level and to a 120 grit finish. In addition, a perfectly smooth face of consistent depth ensures that "V-groove" cuts by the CAD-CAM unit have accurate stroke widths and depths. This is a case where machinery and technology are combined with craftsmanship to yield the finest quality signage throughout the United States.
Biscuits
Each of our wooden signs is glued together in-house. We use the finest industrial adhesive and biscuits to provide added strength, as well as to prevent any bowing, cracking or warping. In between every plank we insert wooden biscuits every 12" apart. It's the things you don't see that make our signs the finest produced in the country.
