Abstract
Forming a channel letter box using a profile, including: determining an incision position on one surface of the profile where at least one surface incision is to be made; surface incising at the determined position; folding the profile at the incision position to form the channel letter box, wherein the profile comprises at least one protruding rib on one surface of the profile; and cutting and attaching a top plate to the channel letter box, wherein a thickness of the top plate is substantially close to a distance from the top of the profile to the top of a top rib of the at least one rib.
Claims14
A method of forming a channel letter box using a profile, the method comprising:
- determining an incision position on one surface of the profile where at least one surface incision is to be made, the one surface of the profile having at least one protruding rib oriented along a longitudinal axis of the profile;
- surface incising at the determined incision position to create the surface incision substantially transverse to the at least one protruding rib;
- folding the profile at the incision position to form the channel letter box;
- and
- cutting and attaching a top plate to the channel letter box, the top plate having a thickness substantially close to a distance from a top of the profile to a top of a top protruding rib of the at least one protruding rib.
A method of forming a channel letter box using a profile, the method comprising:
- determining an incision position and an incision depth on one surface of the profile where at least one surface incision is to be made, the one surface having at least one protruding rib extending along a longitudinal axis of the profile;
- surface incising at the determined position and for the incision depth using a sawing unit, the sawing unit configured to make a v-cut into the at least one protruding rib and the one surface of the profile in a direction substantially transverse to the at least one protruding rib;
- folding the profile at the incision position using a folding unit to form the channel letter box;
- and
- cutting and attaching a top plate to the channel letter box, the top plate having
- a thickness substantially close to a distance from a top of the profile to a top of a top protruding rib of the at least one protruding rib.
