Hand Operated Charpy & IZOD Notch Cutting Machine
This machine will cut Charpy V and U notches and Izod V notches in 10mm square alloy steel specimens up to a hardness of 42 Rockwell C.

Intended for bench mounting, this robustly constructed machine cuts the notches by means of a specially designed Multi-Toothed Broach which is drawn across the specimen by rotating the spoked handwheel.
A simple Hand Vice for holding the specimen is built onto the machine body and the tooling includes the adjusters and end stops necessary to ensure notch depth and position are correctly set.

Attachments are available to facilitate Izod single V notching in 0.45" dia. specimens and Izod multiple V notching in 10mm sq. and 0.45" dia. specimens.
Broaches are not included in the quoted price and these must be ordered separately from the range available.

Please note that for cutting 5mm U notches our Motorised Machine should be used.
An operational floor-to-floor time of 40 secs. can be expected, although if a continuous heavy workload is envisaged we would strongly recommend our Motorised Machine be considered.

The notches produced will meet most of the World's standards including:

ISO 148-1
BS EN 10 045-1:1990
ASTM A370-03A
BS 13
1-1: 1961

Machine dimensions: 635mm high x 432mm wide x 178mm deep.
