CNC Specimen Milling & Notching Center

Fully automated three-axis CNC machining center for producing and processing test specimens (79-400-008). Milling and notching in a single unit, with a comprehensive specimen file library to DIN, EN, ISO and ASTM standards.

The CNC milling center has three electronically controlled linear axes, with an optional fourth (rotary) axis available. It is suited to a wide range of applications — milling, drilling, cutting, engraving, dosing, measuring and positioning — with different cutting tools and accessories that can be fitted for each.

The machine is suited to processing plastics (PE/PA/PC/PMMA/GFK and CFK composites), aluminium, brass and wood (fittings for other materials are available on request). It is ready to connect to an industrial vacuum unit for chip removal. Standard-geometry specimens are selected via the software and integrated Windows PC; an extensive milling file library covering numerous standards is at the user's disposal.

  • Three electronic linear axes (X/Y/Z) — optional fourth rotary axis
  • Extensive milling file library to DIN / EN / ISO / ASTM standards; custom file creation available
  • Single and multiple clamping fixture options — custom fixtures also possible
  • Processes plastic, aluminium, brass and wood; other materials available on request
  • CE-compliant safety housing; integrated Windows PC and WIN software

Application

A fully automated CNC milling center used to machine standard specimens for tensile, flexural, impact and many other tests. The machine can also be fitted with notching modules to cut Charpy/Izod impact specimen notches to standard tolerances.
