This Apparatus is intended for determination of resistance to cutting by sharp objects - edges, such as knives, sheet metal parts, swart,
glass, bladed tools and castings on materials and assemblies designed for protective clothing, protective gloves and other personal
protective equipment
against cutting by sharp objects
Standards:
EN ISO 13997:1997 / Protective clothing – Mechanical properties –
Determination of resistance to cutting by sharp objects
ASTM F2992/F2992M-15/Standard test method for
Measuring Cut Resistance of Materials Used in Protective
Clothing with Tomodynamometer (TDM) Test Equipment
EN 388:2016; c. 6.3 / Protective gloves against mechanical risks
Principle:
The device with the use of selected constant force and perpendicular at a
velocity of 2,5 mm/s cutting test sample by a blade of
standard
sharpness and measures the cutting stroke length in accurate to 0,1 mm. The cut resistance of a sample material is expressed as the cutting
force that is required to be applied to a blade of
standard sharpness to just cut through the material in a 20
mm blade stroke
Technical characteristic:
Practical for handling (small size and weight)
Force application system to move the specimen holder
towards the blade can be between 0,1 and 200 N,
The device is supplied with weights 0,1 to 61 N (more than
61 N is optional) on an separated stand,
System for set measuring system to zero,
Sliding movable specimen holder length 112 mm on mount with
system for adjusting and fixing of 9 cutting - testing
position,
Easy and ergonomic replacement of blade and possibility of
using unused part of blade two time by turning the blade,
Work area protected with movable transparent plastic cover
for injury prevention,
Easy LOCK – UNLOCK system for gentle apply a selected
testing force between specimen holder and the blade,
Testing control unit with alpha numerical LCD screen and
“START POSITION”, “TEST”, ”STOP” and “COUNTER RESET”
command button,
Result of cutting – cutting stroke length in accurate of
0,1 mm displayed on the alpha numerical LCD screen
