MNC-10

Charpy-Izod Notching Machine

Equipment designed to make standardised notches on samples, which are subsequently subjected to mono-axial impact resistance tests according to the Charpy and Izod procedures. The notch concentrates stress, minimises plastic deformation, and directs fracture to the part of the specimen behind the notch, reducing dispersion in energy-at-break results.

The cutting tool has a vertical cyclical movement and is equipped with a transparent methacrylate safety screen to protect operators.

Key Features

• Blades at a fixed angle of 45° ± 1°.
