Chicago: Wide Flange Beam Bending

Bending and Rolling Wide Flange Beams With Precision and Control

People in Chicago say “Control” is often the difference 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 minor miscalculation, or a moment’s slip, can create ripples in the metal. The tighter the radius, the greater control needed.

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

Lose control, and you’re up against delays, frustration … and cost.

Measuring exactly, especially for tight tolerances, is critical. As metal leaves the machine, the steel bender has to be ready to react – and grasp how. Undesirable 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 identify the control needed for successful W-beam bending serving businesses in Chicago?

Max Weiss Company is your one-source solution for precise, on-time wide flange beam bending – the tighter the radius, the better. We have unmatched experience bending 4” x 13# WF beams HW and EW, 10” x 39# WF beams HW and EW, 12” x 35# WF beams HW and EW, and 12” x 65# 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 18” x 40# WF beams HW and EW, and 21” x 68# WF beams HW and EW, and 24” x 76# WF beams HW and EW.

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

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

Not all Chicago metal bending companies do incremental bending, though … which means they might not have the capacity to provide what you need.

You’ll never run into this situation with Max Weiss Company. Besides an ultra-accurate DAVI rolling machine for larger radius projects, Max Weiss has numerous pieces of proprietary equipment that can achieve unbelievably 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, experienced craftsman can meet 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.
