  • Easy to change dies
  • No need for height adjustments between different dies
  • Saves time for the operator
  • Minimize the risk of fault adjustments that might damage the die
  • Increases the amount of flawless samples

Cutting samples which curl and don’t lie flat (such as cables or hoses) is often a struggle. Many times you wish to have at least 4 hands. Elastocon has solved this with the guiding rod (EP 04.04), which is included with our cutting presses. With the guiding rod it is possible to have the cutting die standing on the sample, yet get guiding and the sample is securely cut without the operator needing to hold the material while punching.
