Formed Channel Bending for a Unistrut Customer
A customer was having problems with another supplier who was bending formed strut channel with the legs down---what we call bending the “hard way” or on the x-x axis. The customer was getting parts where the opening or web of the channel was being crushed closed. This deformation was preventing a roller assembly from rolling through the curved area. (Think about a curtain around a hospital bed with rollers that glide through a curved steel rail above. You’d want the rollers to glide smoothly.)Strutting Our Wares
Chicago Metal then rolled the parts with minimal closing of the opening and checked that the customer-supplied roller assembly would pass through every part without a hitch. 100% inspection guaranteed that we had another happy customer who would continue to turn to Chicago Metal Rolled Products to solve his problems.
