• The Impactmill accurately notches plastic and non-metallic materials in accordance with ASTM D256 or ISO 180.

• The totally enclosed ½ HP motor rotates a precision ground, single tooth cutter at 1000 RPM.

• One or more prepared .500” wide blanks are clamped in the Impactmill’s holding fixture; a rotating cutter notches the specimens as the handwheel is cranked to move the fixture through the cutter’s path.

• A micrometer control is used to raise and lower the notching cutter on the Impactmill.

• To check the depth of the notch, a micrometer with a knife edge is mounted on the unit.

• It is used to accurately measure the critical distance between the tip of the “V” notch and the back of the izod or charpy impact bar.

• As with all Tensilkut equipment, the Impactmill is designed for location in the laboratory, and can be operated by technicians with no machining experience.

• To prepare the blanks which the Impactmill notches, either the Tensilsaw or the Tensilkut machine can be used.

• Replacement cutters for the Impactmill are stocked in our office for immediate shipment; credit cards are accepted for purchase of these cutters.

• These are typical samples of fiber based material, with the bars having been cut with the direction of the fiber, and at a 90 degree angle, prior to notching.

• Such samples are typically stacked together with a backing blank, and all notched at once.
