For routine flat tensile and impact specimen preparation, the machine travels at up to 8,000 mm/min, with a feed range of 1 to 3,000 mm/min. That gives you a fast move rate for positioning and a much finer cutting feed for the actual specimen prep pass.

In day-to-day tensile sample preparation, the right setting depends on the specimen geometry, material, and the finish you want on the edge and gauge section. Many labs use the higher traverse speed for non-cutting moves, then select a controlled feed for the machining step so repeatability stays consistent from sample to sample.

If you want to confirm the best setup for your material and specimen type, learn more or request a quote. If you have a target standard, material, and sample thickness, that is the fastest way to match the configuration to your workflow.
