Manual cutting press for podiatry

In podiatry, as in all medical fields, precision is of the utmost importance. It provides comfort during use and, particularly, a sole that is perfectly adapted to the needs of each patient.
The work of podiatrists is made much easier with the use of a hand-operated cutting machine equipped with specially-adapted hollow punches.

EMG’s line of manual rack presses offers a very wide range of applications including cutting out parts for the manufacture of orthopedic shoe soles.

 

Thanks to this type of machine, which is equipped with custom hollow punches, a single lever action makes it possible to cut out perfect pads, wedges and various parts used in making shoe soles out of flexible or hard materials such as resin.

 

A press equipped in this way makes the hammered hollow punches, which were previously used to create and cut out shoe pads, obsolete, just like the scissors that were used to make cut-outs.

 

With perfect precision, the EMG manual rack presses are tools that are perfectly adapted to this application: their progressive force easily and precisely cuts out the various materials currently used in podology, such as:

 

  • EVA and PE for the base of the sole,
  • resin for solidity,
  • viscotene for springiness,
  • molyser for absorbing shocks
  • …

 

This way, each part is perfectly adjusted for its final placement, making them easy to put together. Cutting out the different parts of orthopedic soles, with a thickness of one to two millimeters for resin and four millimeters for other, more flexible materials, just got a lot easier!
