Polytevo Series Notching Machine
Product Detail
Polytevo Series Notching Machine (ACS-5001 manual and ACS-5001A automatic) are notching machines that cut the notch in plastic impact test specimens for Izod and Charpy pendulum testing, cutting one specimen at a time up to 8 mm thick (ACS-5001).
The ACS-5001 (manual) and ACS-5001A (automatic) prepare notched specimens for pendulum impact testing of plastics and other non-metallic materials. The ACS-5001A is used with Izod and Charpy impact testers and has an adjustable feed speed of 0–30 mm/min; the ACS-5001 is operated by hand. They suit the sample-preparation work of research institutions, universities and material laboratories.
