Swiss Equotip Piccolo 2-point Leeb hardness tester
* * * Equotip, a portable hardness tester, proudly launches the new Equotip Piccolo 2/Bambino 2 using a single loading and releasing mechanism brick technology
Monitoring metal hardness
Metals undergo different processes before being converted into final products. Each process will have an impact on the mechanical and chemical properties of the metal. For example, the strength of steel is determined by its chemical composition and microstructural transformation. Macro variables are used to control the final product quality. Hardness is a metal characteristic that is relatively easy to monitor. one thousand nine hundred and seventy-five
In, Proceq invented the portable metal hardness tester "Equotip". The Leeb principle, which has long been the industry standard, was also developed by Proceq
Invention made measuring metal hardness very simple. Now, Equotip Piccolo 2/Bambino 2 continues Proceq's tradition of manufacturing premium products.
The difference between Piccolo 2 and Bambino 2
Equotip Piccolo 2 and Bambino 2 are both suitable for on-site testing of metal hardness with minimal indentation. Reliable design and large display screen allow users to
Used in dusty work environments with low visibility. Both products can also display metal hardness on all commonly used scales.
Piccolo 2 not only has the same functions as Bambino 2, but also has the following additional features:
1) User defined hardness conversion
2) Piccolink software with the following applications:
a) Systematic real-time monitoring of hardness
b) Automatic testing during continuous production process
c) Evaluate and process measurement data
d) Remote control Piccolo 2 settings
Equotip Piccolo 2 and Bambino 2 come with a D-type impact device. This impact device can be interchanged with the optional DL impact device, which is very useful for measurements in restricted areas.
Leeb rebound principle of Equotip hardness tester
*The portable hardness tester commonly used for metals is based on the Leeb rebound method invented by Proceq SA. Equotip Piccolo 2 / Bambino 2
Operate according to the Leeb principle, where the hardness value is calculated based on the ratio of the energy of the impact body before and after impact on the sample. This energy index (EQUO) is measured in hardness units HLCalculate the ratio of the impact velocity and rebound velocity (vi, vr) of the impactor. The rebound speed of the impactor on harder samples is faster than on softer samples, resulting in a larger energy index,
Metal hardness can be displayed through different scales: HLD (Leeb), HRC (Rockwell), HB (Brinell), HV (Vickers), etc. Using Piccolo 2/Bambino 2A unique and efficient single loading and releasing mechanism that can obtain and display hardness measurements through any selected hardness scale.
Equotip Piccolo 2 has an additional feature that allows users to customize conversion curves for special alloys and convert hardness readings into tensile strength.

test block | -It is necessary to perform 3 to 10 regular impact tests on the reference hardness object, which can be used to verify Equotip | Can the instrument be operated correctly. According to the user's hardness requirements, various test blocks can be used. For greater convenience, the test block also indicates the reference hardness values on different scales. |
Support ring- | The Leeb rebound tester can only work correctly when the impactor is at an appropriate distance from the test surface during the impact process. Multiple models of support rings allow testing on targets of various shapes, such as flat, concave or convex cylindrical surfaces, spherical test surfaces, etc. | Swiss Equotip Piccolo 2-point Leeb hardness tester |
