Notch Cutter For Impact Tester (Motorized)

The Presto notch cutter for impact tester (motorized) is one of the best sample preparation instruments that will help you to create the notch for the Izod test. With the help of this machine, you will be able to prepare a notch of plastic sheets up to 5mm. The notch test will help you in measuring the accurate amount of energy that will be absorbed by the notch sample when extreme pressure will be applied to it. The Presto’s Notch Cutter for Impact testing is designed to perform a very little stress concentration of notch in the test samples to make sure that breaking of the sample takes place at the same position each time a test is initiated. The testing instrument is specially meant for use in the plastic industry to test plastic polymer materials. The machine is capable of producing notch profiles to all international test standards like ASTM D256 – 10, ISO 180. It is a sample preparation machine that prepares the sample for Izod Tester to test the plastic sheets. The instrument is used to make the notch of the plastic sheets up to 5 mm. Presto’s Notch Cutter is used for making notches in the Charpy or Izod samples. The outer body is neatly powder coated with the balanced base.

This instrument is very durable and reliable. You can easily operate this testing instrument without worrying about the complexities. Those industries that deal in finding the ductility and strength of sample material can easily make use of this testing instrument. The instrument consists of a motorized mechanism which further makes the operation easy.

Whenever you are going to take the Izod/Charpy test, then cutting the sample accurately with the help of this test, will help you to do an accurate analysis of the sample. This standardized notch cutter will create the required notch on the sample. With the help of this machine, the manufacturers will be able to ensure that the metal parts they are using or producing are quality tested for V-notch. It has maximum resistance against impact. This machine is easy to install and provides low maintenance. This sample preparation machine is provided with a digital readout to make it easy for the users to conduct the test.

The use of this sample machine will mainly occur on the materials where the sample is prone to have a fracture. The morphological crack of the main controlled origin will be necessary to examine to determine the fracture resistance of materials. The energy produced by this pathway will help you to study the ductile-brittle nature of the sample. You will get quick and accurate testing results with the help of this machine.

The quantitative results of this test will be evaluated to measure the toughness and durability of the sample. This is because the durability of the sample will be directly related to yield strength. This sample testing machine will also help to evaluate the strain rate of the sample as well. With qualitative results of the sample testing, you will be able to get the ductility of materials. This test will help you to evaluate the result on the basis that if the material breaks on the flat surface then the results will be brittle. While the material will break from edges then the result indicates that the sample is ductile. Thus, this machine will help you to measure the results of fracture and determine its quality.

If you wish to use this sample preparation machine, then you need to install it accurately. To do this, open the wooden box by keeping it in the upward direction and check whether you have received the micrometer along with the notch cutter. Now, Place the Machine on a firm Concrete base preferably on a rubber mat to avoid unnecessary vibration of the machine. Fix up the leveling legs in holes provided at the base of the notch cutter. Fix up the leveling legs in holes provided at the base of the notch cutter.

Once you are done with these steps, then you need to operate the machine. First of all, take a piece of plastic strip to prepare the notch. Now cut the sample of specific length and width i.e. (63.5 x 12.7) and mark the center position. Open the screws to place the sample. Now Place the sample in the space provided such that the knife edge coincides with the marked position and tighten the screws. Now adjust the sample using the micrometer so that it comes in contact with the cutter and assume this reading as zero preference. Start motor for movement of cutting tools by pressing the main red indicator switch. Move the micrometer forward up to the required depth to make the notch on the sample. In this way, you can operate this testing machine easily. Once the test will be conducted successfully, then e, Switch OFF the Mains.
