Key features:

• Compact and robust design with automatic angle compensation

• Wide measuring scale: HLD/HLDL standard with conversion to HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HS and MPa (Piccolo 2)

• Standard D probe, with optional DL probes for testing in tight areas

• Piccolo 2 has internal storage for approximately 2,000 measurements, while Bambino 2 provides easy reading without memory

• USB connection (Piccolo 2) and clear LCD display for easy reading

• Long battery life and metal housing that withstands rough use

Typical applications:

• Field testing of metals with minimal test impact

• Rapid control in production processes and quality control

• Inspection in narrow or curved surfaces with DL probe

• Automated testing and serial measurements with remote control (Piccolo 2)

• Digital logbook with geotagging, photos, audio notes and comments

• User-friendly display with visual guidance, audio readout and shortcut keys

• Robust, IP54-certified design with non-slip rubber and replaceable support ring

• Lightweight and compact (approx. 234 g, 146×24.5×46 mm) with battery operation and long life

• Certified to international standards for reliable testing

Typical applications:

• Hardness testing of castings, shafts, flanges, pipes and heat-treated components

• Inspection in confined spaces with support rings

• Field-based quality control with real-time reporting and cloud storage

Equotip - Highest accuracy, durability and functionality from the inventor of the Leeb method. Equotip enables portable hardness inspection of almost any object, polished parts and heat treated surfaces. The hardness measurements are made using the dynamic rebound test method according to Leeb, the static Portable Rockwell hardness test and the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (UCI) method. The rugged Swiss-made metal NDT hardness testers are designed for portable hardness testing in the laboratory, workshop, manufacturing facility or on-site. Equotip Live is the latest innovation with a wireless effects unit, mobile app, real-time data sharing and cloud backup.
