From the Inventor of the revolutionary
Portable Hardness Tester "Equotip"
The new Equotip Piccolo 2 / Bambino 2 with
patented single loading-release mechanism.
Piccolo 2: For real-time monitoring
and user specific conversions
Bambino 2: For quick
on-site hardness checks
Application Example 1: Metal heat treatment
allows mechanical properties to be changed so that
the metal will be harder, stronger and more resistant to
impact. The Piccolo 2 is used to monitor and document
the strengthening of high integrity metal components for
the automobile industry.
Application Example 1: Scuffing can lead to catastrophic failure in engineering components. E.g. in turbines of power plants where wearable parts are required
to endure high mechanical stress. The Bambino 2 with the
DL probe can be used to ensure that stressed recesses,
joints and edges are of the correct hardness to minimize
scuffing.
“We have been using Equotip for many years, but
this application is the first one with a real time management of the measurement data by an automated system. It also
minimizes human error.”
QSE Manager, Saint-Jean Industries
Application Example 2: Automotive Lifting Technology are subject to stringent requirements that need to
be met by an automotive lift manufacturer. The portability
of the Piccolo 2 is ideal for testing bulky lift components.
“The device is very easy to use with diverse applications.
Data transfer connection with the PC can be established
quickly, making the Piccolo 2 ideal for our applications in
automotive lifting”. Quality Manager, Blitz Rotary
Made in Switzerland t
“The high repeatability of measurements singles out
Equotip from competitor products. The Bambino 2 offers
accessibility to constricted spaces on studs through the
slim DL tip”. Voith Siemens Hydro Power Generation
Application Example 2: Cold rolling is often used
to decrease the thickness of sheet metal. To avoid spall
fracture, Equotip and Equotip’s Leeb hardness unit HL are
used as a standard for roll testing in rough environments.
The light-weight Equotip Bambino 2 lends itself to quick
intermittent checks of rolls.
