V Notch Cutter

Used in conjunction with the Model 43-76 Impact Tester, the TMI Motorized V Notch Cutter, Model 22-05, produces a v notch in an impact test specimen for ASTM D 256 and ISO 180 according to the Izod Standard. Charpy test notches can also be made according to ASTM D 6110 and ISO 179.

t is noted in ASTM standards that it is extremely critical to produce an accurate cut and to measure the depth and contour of the notch before testing. Result data will be compromised due to poor sample preparation.

Model 22-05-03 Motorized Notch Cutter automates the specimen notching procedure to produce a repeatable and accurate cut every time. An easy-to-use thickness gage is included to verify the depth cut before testing.

Dual tooth cutting wheels used on the Autocycle Notching Cutter are designed to reduce cutter load on the sample being notched. They are tungsten carbide tipped, optically ground and diamond lapped to very close tolerances. The standard cutter wheel profile fitted to the apparatus is a 0.25mm radius V notch.

Cutter wheel profiles of 0.1mm and 1.0mm radius as well as 0.8mm and 2.00mm notch cutter wheels are also available. Non-standard and special notch requirements can also be provided.
