Rubber Specimen Preparation Equipment

Many questionable tensile results on rubber start at the specimen: a ragged edge or an uneven width moves the break before the test begins. A clean, repeatable cut is what lets results from different shifts and laboratories be compared. NextGen supplies cutting presses that punch dumbbells and other shapes from sheet to the dimensions the method sets, including ASTM D412 for rubber tensile specimens.

Presses take interchangeable cutting knives for different standards, so one press serves several methods as the laboratory adds tests. Presses are installed on site, your team is trained on knife changes and specimen checks, and support continues for the life of the equipment.
