The GenNotch 4000UPG is specifically designed for preparing Charpy and Izod impact test specimens by cutting precision V- and U-type notches. These notches play a critical role in impact testing, as they act as controlled points of stress concentration that allow engineers to evaluate a material’s toughness, ductility, and energy absorption characteristics under sudden loading conditions.

By using a motorized broaching mechanism, the machine produces uniform and repeatable notches that meet international testing standards such as ISO 148 and ASTM E23. The consistent quality of these notches means that impact test results accurately reflect the true performance of the material, minimizing measurement errors caused by geometric inconsistencies.
