Overview
Notching machines are designed to notch specimens for impact resilience according to Izod, Charpy and Tensile impact methods. These instruments use a linear knife cutting technique to avoid overheating and consequent stresses during the specimen's notching operations. Therefore, an accurate notch preparation is guaranteed. Manual, motorized and fully-automatic models are available to cover the different testing needs.
Features
- Compact design of instrument for an easy and fast preparation
- Manual and automatic models obtain specimens of different size and geometries for a wide range of plastics testing applications
- High level of results repeatability and time saving test procedures
