Vice and Specimen Supports


Main Features and Benefits


Impact Strength Icon
All Vices are made of sturdy cast iron vices for incomparable rigidity

Confirmation Icon
Quick change sliding mechanism of the vices ensures minimal effort

Crosshead Adjustment Icon
Wide range of interchangeable specimen support, crossheads and jigs depending on the test type and specimen sizes

Flexible Icon
Charpy vice with two impact levels suitable for the full range of test energies and nominal impact speed of 2.9 m/s (9.5 ft/s) and 3.8 m/s (12.5 ft/s)
Auto Positioning Icon
Charpy notch alignment device or side alignment device for un-notched specimens for accurate specimen positioning before impact

Linear Icon
IZOD built-in notch reference for accurate specimen positioning before impact

Pressure Icon
Some plastics are sensitive to clamping pressure. Differences in clamping pressure - between tests and/or operators - will reduce results repeatability. IZOD vice with manual or pneumatic adjustable clamping force from 50 to 150 N
