The Hanatek Universal Sample Cutter has been designed for the simple cutting of samples for the packaging laboratory.
Suitable for a variety of substrates including those that are hard to cut with traditional cutters.
Save valuable time by preparing multiple samples simultaneously.
The USC uses interchangeable dies to suit different test types. Simply purchase a new die for the test type required.
Increase operator safety – no knives required.
Using a custom die is the fastest way to prepare samples for multiple test types. From a single sheet of material, samples can be prepared accurately and quickly.
We have standard dies available to cut samples for most test types including:
Samples produced are always to specification independent of operator.
The USC is suitable for cutting a variety of substrates from 6μm to 250μm.
