- For pneumatic machines: Stronger and more complex dies that can withstand compressed air pressure.
- For hydraulic machines: Designed for industrial production and can withstand significant loads.
Shape of buttons
- Round: Classic dies for covering round buttons, typical for furniture and accessories.
- Square: Less common shapes for covering buttons intended for exclusive furniture.
How to choose matrices for covering buttons
When choosing matrices, it is important to consider several criteria to ensure effective operation:
Machine type
