Chicago: Wide Flange Beam Bending

Bending and Rolling Wide Flange Beams With Precision and Control

People in Chicago say “Control” is frequently the margin between success and failure.

Nowhere is this more obvious than in bending and rolling W-beams in Chicago.

Controlling distortion is what really matters. A slight miscalculation, or a moment’s slip, can create ripples in the metal. The tighter the radius, the additional control required.

It’s not a trivial concern. Wide flange beam bending is a key part of many types of structural non-residential construction in Chicago: offices, stadiums, canopies, cylindrical tanks, OEM parts and many more.

Lose control, and you’re looking at delays, frustration … and cost.

Measuring precisely, especially for tight tolerances, is beyond important. As metal exits the machine, the steel bender has to be ready to react – and understand how. Unwelcome attributes can rapidly appear if the beam isn’t flat, square and true to radius. Control needs to be reasserted – and soon.

Where do you discover the control required for successful W-beam bending serving businesses in Chicago?

Max Weiss Company is your one-source answer for exact, on-time wide flange beam bending – the tighter the radius, the better. We have unparalleled experience bending 8” x 18# WF beams HW and EW, 10” x 15# WF beams HW and EW, 10” x 60# WF beams HW and EW, and 12” x 96# WF beams HW and EW.

Does your Chicago project need larger sizes? No problem. Max Weiss Company bends 16” x 31# WF beams HW and EW, and 16” x 45# WF beams HW and EW, and 18” x 119# WF beams HW and EW, and 27” x 94# WF beams HW and EW.

Our knowledgeable professionals, using state-of-the-art equipment, will take on your most challenging wide flange beam bending and rolling needs.

See, the answer lies in incremental bending. Proper tooling on the flange and web are critical. While a slower process than rolling, incremental bending better manages distortion and deformation, and achieves much tighter radii.

Not all Chicago metal bending companies do incremental bending, however … which means they might not have the ability to deliver what you need.

You’ll never hit this situation with Max Weiss Company. Besides an ultra-accurate DAVI rolling machine for larger radius projects, Max Weiss has multiple pieces of proprietary equipment that can achieve incredibly tight bends.

We bend wide flange beams from 4 inches to 27 inches, both easy way and hard way.

We don’t just bend steel W-beams, either. If your project requires S beam, aluminum or stainless steel bending, our versatile, well-trained craftsman can satisfy your needs.

Contact Max Weiss Company for all your wide flange beam bending needs. We’ve got the people, equipment and – don’t forget – control to keep your Chicago projects on track.
