Manual Notching Machine

The Manual Notching Machine allows the creation of V-notches or, alternatively, U-notches in plastic bar specimens, rubber, insulating materials, and other non-metallic materials. These specimens are typically used for resilience determinations, also known as single-axis impact testing.
The notches are produced by installing and using the appropriate cutting knives and are standardized in accordance with the following international testing standards.
