Sample Cutter
Preparing test discs for basis weight and grammage evaluations requires exact dimensions without bent or warped borders.
Across domestic production facilities and testing departments, the precision sample cutter utilizes a smooth drawing motion to slice out 100 cm² circular pieces measuring 113 mm across, reaching depths of approximately 5 mm. This circular sample cutting machine eliminates the dimensional errors and physical tension that manual razor cutting introduces to delicate test sheets.
Every unit features a specialized porous rubber base pad that allows the four sharp cutting edges to pass completely through your test specimen with total workplace safety. Whether you decide to buy sample cutters online for regular shifts in an American inspection facility or need to insert fresh four-piece steel blades to avoid unexpected downtime, this hardware supplies clean, repeatable specimens across flexible materials.
Key Features
- 100 cm² Cut Surface Area (113 mm Diameter): Slices exact circular specimens configured for basis weight and grammage calculations, removing the need for mathematical area corrections on daily factory logs.
- 5 mm Penetration Depth: Slices through single sheets or layered materials, allowing operators in high-output American plants to process thicker stock like corrugated boards or multiple thin layers in a single pass.
- Drawing Action Motion: Glides the cutting components across the stock rather than forcing a straight downward impact, preventing frayed perimeters or stretched edges on soft goods.
- Porous Rubber Cutting Bed: Provides a resilient foundation that lets blades sink past the sample without damaging the edges or placing hands at risk on busy testing tables.
- Four-Piece Steel Blade Assembly: Works with matched PS100-4b replacement steel cutters to deliver parallel cuts and enable swift field swaps to avoid halted testing lines.
Product Applications & Operating Environments
This precision sample cutter supports quality control facilities, testing laboratories, and plant inspection stations across the United States that prepare specimens for weight verification and grammage evaluations. Because the hardware is built for steady indoor benchtop operations rather than harsh exterior weather conditions, it serves controlled production floors and commercial testing rooms.
Technicians rely on this sample cutting machine to prepare smooth circular specimens from diverse materials, including:
- Paper & Packaging: Tissue paper, standard paper sheets, and corrugated cardboard for grammage checks.
- Textiles & Fabrics: Knitted goods, fine knits, and woven cloth without pulling individual threads.
- Films & Foils: Thin polymer films and metal foils without curling or tearing thin margins.
- Leathers: Natural leather and synthetic leather hides requiring intact test borders.
By replacing dulled edges with factory-matched four-piece steel blades, your laboratory staff maintains reliable inspection records and prevents measurement drift during regular quality assurance shifts.
