The R-VS 3000 Rheometer volumetric sample cutter

With an all new C-frame design accessibility to the cutting area along with the overall stability of the cutter has been improved. The completely new design allows loading of long rubber sheets and strips without the need for making any pre-cuts. Endless rubber strips and can be simply fed through the cutter. The reinforced C-frame consists of a single cast iron part making the R-VS 3000 the most stable and reliable volumetric sample cutter in the market.

The cutting mechanism consists of a double-acting pneumatic system, ensuring a constant, user-defined specimen volume – even on toughest materials.

The cutting sequence is simply started by simultaneously pressing the two operation buttons. Initially the material is compressed to a constant volume and in a second step after the compression time is elapsed the sample is cut automatically by a knife sliding upwards from the bottom onto the upper compression piston.
