Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the Pneumatic Sample Cutter handle?
The unit is highly versatile and engineered to cut a wide range of flexible materials, including paper, thin plastic films, metallic foils, cardboard, and textiles. Its high-force pneumatic action ensures clean edges even on tough or multi-layered substrates.
Does this instrument comply with international testing standards?
Yes. By using specific interchangeable dies, the Pneumatic Sample Cutter prepares specimens that meet the exacting dimensional requirements of ISO, ASTM, TAPPI, and DIN standards, ensuring your laboratory remains compliant for official audits and quality reports.
How do the interchangeable dies work?
The cutter features a quick-change system that allows operators to swap between various die shapes and sizes (such as rectangles, circles, or dog-bone shapes) depending on the specific test being performed. This makes it a multi-purpose tool for different laboratory needs.
What are the safety features for operators?
Operator safety is a priority. The instrument is equipped with a dual-actuation (two-hand) safety system. This requires the user to engage both buttons simultaneously to trigger the cutting cycle, ensuring hands are completely clear of the cutting area during operation.
What maintenance is required for the cutter?
The Pneumatic Sample Cutter is designed for high-volume industrial use with minimal maintenance. Routine care involves keeping the cutting base clean of debris and ensuring the pneumatic airlines are free of moisture. We also recommend periodic inspection of the cutting dies to ensure they remain sharp for the cleanest possible edges.
What air pressure is required to operate the unit?
While requirements can vary based on the material thickness, a standard laboratory compressed air supply (typically between 60-100 psi or 4-7 bar) is usually sufficient to achieve the necessary cutting force for most applications.
