Automated Precision Cutting Resistance Measurement for Kitchen Knives

To evaluate the resistance force and cutting performance of professional kitchen knives, PWFT GmbH has developed a customized measuring device. This system ensures a consistent cut through reference paper at a precise 90° angle from blade to paper. A steady, controlled cutting motion is vital for reliable results. The resistance force measured indicates the blade's condition, highlighting areas that may require reworking or sharpening. By automating this process, the device delivers consistent and accurate evaluations, helping manufacturers and users maintain high standards of blade quality.

What is the Application?
