SledCutter 295 XVII – Defined cross hatch cuts

The SledCutter 295 XVII is used for the manual application of defined cross-cut grids to coated test panels, but without the known limitations of purely manual guidance, which are associated with free-mounted work with hand tools (handles with cutting bodies), such as often strong fluctuations in the applied cutting force and possibly too clearly deviating angles in the cutting grid.

The adjustable cutting force allows the comparable testing of even large series without fatigue or risk of injury to the user, whereby the linear guided cutting movement, the adjustable stop and the fixable path limitation enable very precise grid cutting patterns with an accurate 90° angle.

The SledCutter 295 XVII is a table-top device. The carriage is equipped with a linear guide (plain bearing) and is moved by hand. The tester has a height-adjustable load arm with load arm rocker. Defined cross-cut patterns can be easily applied using the multi-cut adapter and cutting body with a choice of 6 cutting edges included in the scope of delivery.

There is a choice of three cutting bodies with different cutting distances (6x1 mm, 6x2 mm or 6x3 mm), whereby each cutting body is equipped with four cutting edges, which allows a total of three changes to the next sharp cutting edge after wear.

The desired scoring force is set by moving and fixing the rider weight on the load arm, with a possible setting range of 2 - 40 N (60 N with additional load weight).
