Catalog excerpts

Equotip Piccolo 2 / Bambino 2-1

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 “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. ... plus de 50 ans d’expérience que vous pouvez apprécier !

Equotip Piccolo 2 / Bambino 2-2

equotip piccnb □ bambino L Monitoring the Hardness of Metals Metals undergo different processes before being converted into a final product. Each process can have an effect on the mechanical and chemical attributes of metal. For example, the strength of steel is determined by its chemical composition and microstructural transformations. Macroscopic variables are used to control the final product quality. Hardness is one characteristic of metal that can be easily monitored. In 1975, Proceq invented the revolutionary portable metal hardness tester “Equotip”. The standardized Leeb principle, also...
