Automatic Notch Milling with Automation 'roboTest L' (Linear) for Pendulum Impact Specimen

Zwick has developed a fully-automatic notch milling machine to make a notch for Charpy specimens as per DIN EN ISO 179 and Izod specimens as per DIN EN ISO 180.

A critical part of the preparation of plastic specimens for testing in an automatic or manual pendulum impact tester is the notching of the specimen.

The vital characteristics of the prepared sample are the correct radius of the notch base and the remaining width after the milling process.The notch is milled in accordance with the ISO 2818 standard.

To cover individual customer requirements, the automatic notch milling machine is laid out as a flexible modular system that can be put together in various ways.
