The Equotip Piccolo 2 and Bambino 2 are portable Leeb hardness testers designed for fast and precise on-site inspection , especially where test footprint needs to be minimal. These Swiss-made devices combine robust construction with high accuracy and ease of use, even in demanding industrial environments.

Piccolo 2 offers all the features of Bambino 2, plus additional benefits such as:
• User-defined hardness scales for special alloys
• Piccolink software for real-time monitoring, data processing and remote control

Both models utilize the Leeb principle, where a test body strikes the workpiece and the rebound velocity is calculated to indicate hardness (HL).

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)
