This sculpture was commissioned by Victor and Lee Teumer to enhance the offices of Hy-Grade Valve. The design is based upon the presentation image for Hy-Grade Valve, Inc. and incorporates a range of various materials. Numerous counterweighting mechanisms are concealed within the body of the sculpture; two on the vertical and tweo on the horizontal. A shield plate of patterned and polished stainless steel is formed by overlapping individual cut shapes with copper rivots on the seams. The structure of the ‘H’ consist of structural aluminum channel with deep vertival engraving and overlapping circular patterns. Several layers of transparent ‘smoke’ enamel give a grey/black tone with the engraving giving subtle visual texture. The central element of 2″ steel tube has rough engraving textures overlaid with two tone red enamels and accented with grade 8 gold hex bolts on the long axis.

The combination of the AM300™ Rollformer and the Viper™ Punch and Cut unit set the industry standard for the manufacture of structural steel framing products. The robust AM300 roll former handles a typical material thickness range from 0.035″ to 0.135″, producing sections with web widths from 2.50″ to 16″ and flange heights from 1.25″ to 3.50″. The Viper Punch and Cut is designed to process 0.135″ material with a 25″ strip width at 300 feet per minute. The pre-punch and pre-cut design of the Viper, coupled with the telescoping shaft design of the AM300, provide the most efficient profile changeovers in the industry.
