The Hoytom variable speed motorised notching machine uses a fast and precise machining process to create notches for Charpy and Izod testing. Broaches are easily interchangeable, and have been produced to create different sized notches according to standards ISO, EN, ASTM and BS. The speed controller enables the machining of the hardest materials, and increased broach durability. The machine is very comfortable and simple to use. After installing the correct broach just insert, adjust and fasten the specimen with the fixing clamp, and set the notch depth and centring. Lastly, after having selected forward speed according to the material, press the down button to start machining.. The standard broach is used for carbon and low alloy steels. Broaches with a special coating must be used for more resistant, harder or stainless steels.
