System 5 37 3 Most Blum fittings have been designed to work in conjunction with the mm system. All relevant machines and assembly devices are capable of producing the required drilling positions and centers. The mm system s greatest advantage is in determination of cabinet and front drilling positions: - The majority of Blum s drawer and runner programs have been developed to work in conjunction with the mm system, making optimum use of the interior space within a cabinet. - With the exception of shallow-sided drawers all options share identical front fixing brackets which gives greater flexibility. - Both single and full extension runners share identical cabinet drillings. These factors ensure: - increased production efficiency - reduced handling of parts - reduced chance of errors The results are reduced production costs.
