The open design of the machine and the blanking tool (C-shape) allows removal of test pieces from sheets and foils also. If several blanking tools are in use, the side extension table (option) is recommended. This is in the form of a roller table and enables the blanking tools not currently required to be stored out of the way. Using the extension table, tool changes take about 20 seconds, offering significant time-savings in the event of frequent tool changes.

The M-cut 65 specimen blanking machine (for 650kN compressive force) is suitable for material thicknesses from 0.04 to 6mm (depending on tensile strength and specimen shape).
