Abstract
The device automatically clears high elongation test samples with long tails after breakage from a materials testing device after the testing has been performed. A robotic arm engages the tested specimen and brings it to a specimen clearing device which includes a slot leading to a nip between an opposed drive wheel and driven wheel. A motor drives the drive wheel to move the tested specimen through the specimen clearing device into a scrap bin or similar repository.
