The horizontal cabinet for cutting dies is perfect for all those manufacturing companies in the world of leather where cutting dies is used, such as leather goods, small leather goods, belt factories, shoe factories and saddleries.

What are the advantages of placing the cabinet horizontally next to the press machine?
The installation of the ABC horizontal cabinet in the cutting department next to the press machine brings numerous advantages:
- Protection and safety: the dies are preserved and stored in order inside the drawers and the work area is safer, also thanks to the Stop&Go system which allows you to open one drawer at a time.
In this way, the centre of gravity is prevented from shifting and therefore the furniture from tipping over, improving safety for operators. - Comfort for operators: the cabinet has a height of 100 cm and is complementary to the press machine: the operator picks up the die from the drawer and places it on the press worktop easily.
- Continuous efficiency: the operator has drawers and a steel support surface useful for placing the dies or prototypes made. The picking and depositing times of the dies are significantly improved; therefore, in general, production times in the cutting department are optimized.
