Contour Cutter

A template-guided contour cutter that cuts tensile and dumbbell test specimens from plastic and rubber sheet to ASTM and ISO profiles — using a carbide cutter with adjustable speed.

  • 15 mm carbide cutter for clean, accurate profiles
  • Cutting speed adjustable through an AC variable drive
  • Cutting templates supplied to ASTM / ISO sizes
  • Vacuum system collects waste during cutting
Made in IndiaISO 9001:2015CE CertifiedExported to 60+ countries
Overview

Accurate specimens make accurate tensile data

Tensile results depend on the specimen having the exact standard shape with smooth, nick-free edges. A contour cutter follows a template with a rotating carbide cutter to produce clean dumbbell and tensile specimens from plastic and rubber sheet, to ASTM and ISO profiles.

International Equipments builds the cutter with a 15 mm carbide cutter, an AC variable-speed drive and a vacuum system to remove swarf during cutting. Templates are supplied to the sizes and dimensions you need. Manufactured in Mumbai, CE marked and calibration-certified.

How the test works

Step by step

  1. Fit the templateFit the ASTM/ISO template for the specimen profile you need.
  2. Position the sheetClamp the plastic or rubber sheet under the cutter.
  3. Cut the contourThe carbide cutter follows the template at the set speed; the vacuum system removes waste.
  4. Remove the specimenLift out the clean-cut specimen, ready for testing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the contour cutter work?
A rotating 15 mm carbide cutter follows an ASTM/ISO template to cut a clean specimen profile from sheet, with a vacuum system removing waste as it cuts.
Which specimen profiles can it cut?
Standard dumbbell and tensile profiles to ASTM and ISO, using interchangeable templates supplied to your sizes.
Is the cutting speed adjustable?
Yes — the speed is adjustable through an AC variable drive to suit the material.
Can it cut both plastic and rubber?
Yes — with the appropriate template it cuts plastic and rubber sheet.
