Vertical Cabinet
for Cutting dies

The vertical cabinet for cutting dies is ideal for inserting dies of all types and sizes and storing lesser-used series in production and storage departments.

Typically, cutting dies used in leather processing companies are mishandled inside large, bulky cardboard boxes. With this method, it is difficult to keep them tidy, and the blades can also be damaged if the dies are stacked on top of one another.

With its structure like closet, the vertical cabinet is ideal for vertically archiving dies of all sizes, optimising departmental space.

The main feature of the vertical cabinet for dies is its capacity. It takes up the space of a euro pallet and has a storage capacity ranging from 12 to 48 m² (see all models). 

Cutting dies of all sizes can be accommodated, as used across the leather industry and other sectors.

The vertical concept was born to satisfy an unfulfilled need, that is to keep bulky dies tidy in the workshop.
In some companies, especially those where there is a lot of space, the dies are hung directly on the wall. We simply put the ‘wall’ inside the vertical cabinet, thus having a freer and tidier working space.

The vertical cabinet is equipped with the Stop&Go system, which allows only one drawer to be opened at a time, thereby enhancing safety for users. The unit does not need to be fixed to the wall, making it easy to reposition should the layout need to be changed.

Each die is placed in the drawer with the support hooks and is immediately available, as in a closet.

The uses of vertical cabinet

The vertical cabinet is used in all those companies that process leather and more, for which the vertical system is excellent for storing long or bulky dies.

Some examples where the vertical cabinet can be used are:

  • saddlery manufacturers
  • belt manufacturers
  • luggage factories
  • leather goods factories
  • handbag manufacturers

The belt cutting dies, whether straight or curved, are stored in order inside the drawer unit.

In the case of large dies such as those from the automotive, saddlery, nautical or leather clothing, they are fixed in the panels of the chest of drawers.

Materials and dimensions

All vertical drawer units are made of galvanised steel, robust and durable.
The size is close to that of a euro-pallet: 117×77 cm.
Inside each drawer is a perforated sheet metal panel designed to “hang” the die using specific hooks.

There are 3 models available (see product data) and they are studied for cutting dies:

  • Up to 19mm with 20 double-sided drawers
  • Up to 32mm with 10 double-sided drawers
  • Up to 80 mm with 10 single-sided drawers

In the models for dies up to 32mm and 19mm, the drawers are ‘double-sided’ so that the cutting dies can be hung on both sides of the panel, doubling the storage of each drawer; whereas in the model up to 80mm, the drawers are ‘single-sided’, i.e. the cutting dies can only be hung on one side of the panel.

Each drawer is equipped with ball-bearing slides and has a load capacity of 50 kg and an extraction capacity of 100%.

Where to place the vertical cabinet?

In the case of archiving cutting dies, we suggest placing the vertical cabinet in the storage area.

We also recommend placing a label on each drawer so that you can immediately find the inserted dies, including those that are not used much but could still be part of the production in the future.

On the other hand, in the case of bulky dies used in production, the vertical cabinet can also be positioned next to the travelling head press in the cutting department.

Advantages

SAFETY FOR THE OPERATOR

Only one drawer opens at a time, preventing the cabinet from tipping over

COMPACT STRUCTURE

Contains many dies in a small space

MAXIMISES SPACE

Keeping production and storage department tidy

Hook available for the vertical cabinet

Through our ongoing dialogue with customers over the years, we have developed hooks for each type of dies (see accessories).

The cutting dies can be hung from the structure, reinforcement, or support.
We recommend inserting 2 hooks per die, where possible, for greater stability and to prevent it from swinging when opening the drawer.

In leather goods, for example, where both large and small dies are used, the last one can be inserted inside the large ones, further multiplying the space.

And to handle particular cutting dies?

We have developed solutions to handle all types of cutting dies, even the most unique.
Some examples are:

  • Thin dies or with transparent plexiglass support, managed with a dedicated type of hooks.
  • Small or full-size dies, managed in a small tray screwed to the panel
  • Long dies, such as those for belts or handbag straps, managed by the support to be inserted at the bottom to hold them to the panel without them swinging.
