Motorised notching cutter
Motorised notching cutter: batch up to 20 specimens in ~20 s, V and U profiles for Charpy and Izod
Notching Cutters
The notching cutter is the dedicated instrument for machining calibrated notches on specimens intended for Charpy (ISO 179, ASTM D6110) and Izod (ISO 180, ASTM D256) pendulum impact tests. Notch geometry and depth directly influence the measured fracture energy: a notch that does not conform to normative dimensional specifications introduces systematic variability and makes results non-comparable across laboratories. Artemis notching cutters guarantee precise, repeatable V and U notch profiles fully compliant with ISO and ASTM requirements.
