Artemis Film Strip Cutter: Precision Specimen Preparation

The Artemis Film Strip Cutter is engineered to produce high-precision, parallel test specimens for tensile and tear analysis, ensuring full compliance with ASTM and ISO international test standards. Designed specifically for the flexible packaging, foil, and paper industries, this apparatus provides a robust and efficient alternative to traditional cutting dies, particularly when specimen thickness or extended length requirements render conventional preparation methods impractical.

Technical Excellence & Operational Efficiency

The system is designed to streamline laboratory throughput while maintaining strict dimensional accuracy:

• Rigid Cutting Architecture: The apparatus features a linear rail guide and a spring-loaded cutting head, ensuring consistent pressure and precise, repeatable cuts throughout the process.

• Gantry-Style Design: This configuration allows rolls of film to be easily pulled through the apparatus, significantly reducing material waste compared to sheet-fed methods.

• Versatile Blade Options: While stainless steel razor blades are supplied as standard, optional TiN (Titanium Nitride) or PTFE coatings are available to minimize friction and extend blade longevity.

• Customizable Specifications: The system offers a standard cutting stroke of 455mm—perfect for A4-sized samples—though lengths can be customized to meet specific requirements. Cutting heads are available in widths ranging from 0.25mm to 150mm.

Optimized Workflow

The instrument is designed for high-productivity environments, supporting the cutting of single or multiple test samples in a single pass. The streamlined operational procedure includes:

1. Secure Clamping: The integral bar clamping mechanism firmly holds the material in place.

2. Precision Cutting: Operators utilize a simple "push-down and pull" motion to move the cutting head along the linear rail.

3. Finish & Trim: The self-sealing recessed cutting base pad preserves blade sharpness and cut quality; once the stroke is complete, simply release the clamp, remove the material, and trim to the required length.
