Description
The Equotip Piccolo 2 is a lightweight, easy-to-use Leeb hardness tester designed for metal hardness testing on a broad range of part shapes. Made with high-end electronics, the unit works a test cycle in one motion using a patented impact device. Compact and ideal for on-site hardness testing. Optional DL probe works with the unit for confined spaces and recessed surfaces.

The Equotip Piccolo 2 enables measurements to be rapidly taken and displayed in any chosen hardness scale: HL (Leeb), HRC (Rockwell C), HB (Brinell), or HV (Vickers).
Real-time monitoring and features user specific conversions. Data transfer connection with the PC can be established quickly and efficiently.
Features:
- Entry model for quick on-site tests.
- Compact housing and automatic angle correction which allows for use in a variety of settings.
- Highly accurate and reliable.
The Equotip Piccolo 2 offers the following features in addition to the Bambino 2:
- User defined hardness conversions
- Piccolink software for:
- Systematic real-time monitoring of hardness
- Automated testing during serial production
- Evaluation and processing of measured data
- Remote control of Piccolo 2 settings
