In order to perform various paper and packaging tests, manufacturers require the shape of samples. And to obtain accurately-sized samples, it is important for the manufacturers to accompany the testing machines with sample cutters. UEC houses a diverse range of sample cutting and preparing instruments. The following article will throw light on the 15 sample cutters that are used to prepare precision samples for conducting diverse tests and getting accurate results. Let’s go.
15 Types Of High Accuracy Sample Cutters By UEC
Circular Sample Cutter (Model 1003 A)
A circular sample cutter is used to prepare test specimens of the paper, board, and similar materials of size 100 cm square, for GSM testing. Four knives are used to prepare the specimen, by turning the wheel at 90 degrees angle, along the circumference.
The circular sample cutter is applicable under standard DIN 53104.
Circular Sample Cutter (Model 1003 B)
This one is another cutter used to prepare circular test samples of paper, board, corrugated board, and similar materials of size 100 sm square, for FCT and other tests. The specimen is prepared when the wheel is turned along the circumference.
This circular sample cutter is applicable under standards DIN EN 23035, APPITA/AS 1301.429s, SCAN P32, FEFCO Nr.6, ISO 3035, and TAPPI T 825S.
Sample Strip Cutter - Guillotine Type
Designed for the tensile and folding endurance test, this sample strip cutter rapidly and precisely prepares the sample of size 15mm x 300mm for the test. It has a sharp cutting blade made from special knife steel. Attached with it is an automatic clamping handle that holds the specimen firmly, using a clamping beam, during the test, to prevent any deformation.
Manufacturers often opt for this cutter while investing in both, a vertical and horizontal tensile tester. This sample strip cutter is applicable under standards ISO 3035, 7263, 3037, 536, 1924, TAPPI T 822, T 809, T 410, and T 494.
Adjustable Sample Cutter - Guillotine Type
Comes with a base plate and scaling arrangement, this cutter too efficiently prepares samples of sizes up to 210mm x 300mm, for different types of tests. Just like the strip cutter, this too has a blade made from special knife steel, plus an automatic clamping device to hold the sample properly during the test by means of a clamping beam.
This adjustable sample cutter is applicable under standards ISO 3035, 7263, 3037, 536, 1924, TAPPI T 822, T 809, T 410, and T 494.
Sample Cutter Fore Tearing Resistance Test
Next is a high-accuracy sample cutter to prepare samples for the tearing resistance test. It is an easy-to-operate instrument that can prepare multiple rectangular-shaped samples at the same time. It comprises a sharp precise knife, which is mounted on a wooden base that cuts a sample size of 50mm x 63mm. The wooden base consists of accurately marked edges to ease the cutting of test specimens and eliminate any deformation or damage.
This adjustable sample cutter is applicable under standards ISO 3035, 7263, 3037, 536, 1924, TAPPI T 822, T 809, T 410, and T 494.
Sample Cutter For ECT
This sample cutter is used to prepare samples of corrugated board for the ECT test. The samples are cut accurately in rectangular shapes of sizes 1” or 2”. This easy-to-use instrument comes with a clamping device that holds the sample strongly and prevents any breakage.
Sample Cutter For ECT - Pneumatic
This sample is also used to prepare samples of corrugated fiberboard for the ECT tests. Easy to use, this equipment also comes with a clamping device that holds the sample before it is pneumatically cut and prepared.
The samples are cut in rectangular shapes and in 1” or 2” sizes.
Circular Neck Down Cutter For ECT
This sample cutter precisely and quickly prepares dumbbell-shaped test samples for ECT tests. It makes use of the samples obtained from the ECT cutter to create samples for the ECT test.
Triple Shear Cutter For Tearing Resistance Test
The triple shear sample cutter, as the name suggests, is used to precisely and rapidly prepare samples for the tearing resistance test. It is easy to use and prepares samples without any damage. The operator lifts the handle in order to obtain the developed sample.
The DI prepares a sample of 50mm x 62mm size, while the DII prepares a specimen of 38mm x 70mm size for the Taber model and for the digital model, 38mm x 80mm.
Punch & Die Type Sample Strip Cutter
The punch n die sample cutter accurately creates precision test strips for various tests. These tests include the folding endurance test, tensile strength test, water absorbency, testing, etc.
* For the tensile test, choose A-I. The sample size is 15 mm x 300 mm OR 25 mm x 300 mm OR 50 mm x 300 mm.
* For Folding Endurance (Kholer Molin Type) Test, choose A-II. The sample size is 15 mm x 300 mm.
* For Water Absorbency Test, use A-III. The sample size is 15 mm x 300 mm.
Paper and other similar materials can be cut using this easy-to-operate equipment, which is applicable under standards ISO 3035, 7263, 3037, 536, 1924, TAPPI T 822, T 809, T 410, and T 494.
Punch & Die Type Square Sample Cutter
This type of sample cutter is excellent for cutting square samples of 10cm x 10cm. No damage or deformation is what this equipment promises. When comes to determining the basis weight in paper machines profile, this cutter is used in combination with the GSM scale for effective results.
Circular Punch & Die Type Sample Cutter
Another excellent sample cutter that however cuts circular test specimens accurately and rapidly. The samples are produced in a 100 cm square area, used for the GSM or basis weight test. Several layers of paper can be punched and prepared together using this equipment.
Circular Punch & Die Type Automatic Sample Cutter - Pneumatic
This cutter precisely cuts a specimen of size 100 cm square area without any damage or deformation of the sheet. It has an adjustable punching cycle that can cut multiple layers of samples in a specific time period. The samples prepared are mostly used for GSM testing.
Punch & Die Type Sample Strip Cutter
The samples produced using this cutter are used for folding endurance tests, ring crush tests, ply bond tests, and more. It ensures no deformation of the sample through the preparation and can easily cut paper and board sheets.
* For Ring Crush Test (RCT), use sample size of 12.7 x 152.4 mm.(1/2" x 6.0")
* For Folding Endurance Tester (SCHOPPER Type), use a sample size of 15 x 100 mm.
* For Ply Bond Test, use a sample size of 25.4 x 152.4 mm.(1.0" x 6.0")
* For Short Span Test ( SCT), use a sample size of Cut size: 15 x 150 mm.
This punch n die sample cutting equipment is applicable under standards ISO 3035, 7263, 3037, 536, 1924, TAPPI T 822, T 809, T 410, and T 494.
Pneumatically Operated Punch & Die Cutter For A4 Size Paper
And the final sample cutter is the pneumatically operated punch and die cutter that prepares an A4 size sample. It is a high-precision sample cutter that rapidly prepares multiple samples from the paper profile roll.
