ART-FSC Film Strip Cutter

ART-FSC Film Strip Cutter

Manufactured by Artemis Instruments

Designed specifically for the flexible packaging, foil, and paper industries, this Film Strip Cutter is engineered to produce high-precision, parallel test specimens for tear and tensile analysis.

Simple to operate with a push down and pull application, it provides an efficient and robust alternative to traditional cutting dies, particularly when specimen thickness or extended length requirements render conventional preparation methods impractical.

As standard, the cutting stroke length is 455mm, so it can easily accommodate A4 sample length size. If needed, this can be increased to suit your individual requirements.

Benefits

  • Streamlines laboratory throughput while maintaining strict dimensional accuracy.
  • Full compliance with ASTM and ISO international test standards.
  • Linear rail guide and a spring-loaded cutting head ensure consistent pressure and precise, repeatable cuts throughout the process.
  • Gantry-Style design allows rolls of film to be easily pulled through the apparatus, significantly reducing material waste compared to sheet-fed methods.
  • Maximum cutting width is 150mm and cutting heads can be supplied in various widths from 0.25mm to 150mm.
  • With a minimum cut width of 0.25mm, cutting heads can be supplied to cut single or multiple test samples in one single pass to increase your testing capacity and productivity.
  • Instrument base is recessed to accept a self sealing cutting base pad which increases blade life and cut quality.
  • An integral bar clamping mechanism is fitted to firmly support the sample material during the cutting process.
  • Stainless steel razor blades are supplied as standard. Optional TiN (Titanium Nitride) or PTFE coatings are available to minimise friction and extend blade longevity.
  • Product user manual.
  • UKCA/CE declaration certificate.

How To Operate The Film Cutter

To operate the instrument, clamp the sample in place, push the cutter down on top of the material and pull the cutter forward to the end of its travel or the length of the sample needed. Simply release the clamp, remove the material, and trim the sample to the required length.

  • Dimensions (W x D x H): 60cm x 30cm x 17cm
  • Weight (kg): 15

Options

  • Multi width cutting heads available to customers requirements.
