Hodgkins: Wide Flange Beam Bending

Bending and Rolling Wide Flange Beams With Precision and Control

People in Hodgkins say “Control” is reliably the difference between success and failure.

Nowhere is this more pronounced than in bending and rolling W-beams in Hodgkins.

Controlling distortion is what really matters. A small miscalculation, or a moment’s slip, can produce ripples in the metal. The tighter the radius, the more control involved.

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

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

Measuring precisely, especially for tight tolerances, is a no-brainer. As metal comes out of the machine, the steel bender has to be prepared to react – and understand how. Unwanted attributes can quickly appear if the beam isn’t flat, square and true to radius. Control needs to be reasserted – and soon.

Where do you find the control involved for successful W-beam bending serving businesses in Hodgkins?

Max Weiss Company is your one-source solution for exact, on-time wide flange beam bending – the tighter the radius, the better. We have unparalleled experience bending 6” x 15# WF beams HW and EW, 8” x 31# WF beams HW and EW, 10” x 88# WF beams HW and EW, and 12” x 106# WF beams HW and EW.

Does your Hodgkins project need larger sizes? No problem. Max Weiss Company bends 14” x 74# WF beams HW and EW, and 16” x 89# WF beams HW and EW, and 21” x 50# WF beams HW and EW, and 24” x 76# 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 Hodgkins 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 scenario with Max Weiss Company. Besides an ultra-precise DAVI rolling machine for larger radius projects, Max Weiss has several pieces of proprietary equipment that can achieve unfathomably 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 adaptable, veteran 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 Hodgkins projects on track.
