EQUOTIP BAMBINO 2 - Portable Metal Hardness Tester

Equotip Bambino

Direct and straightforward metal hardness testing – the Equotip Bambino 2 stands on its own, without separate indicating platforms and cables. The Equotip Bambino 2 is an economical and easy-to-use portable rebound tester for hardness measurements on most metals.

It combines a light and compact design and an innovative impact device D to offer an unmatched price/performance ratio.

The DL Accessory Kit is used to extend the range of applications. It allows testing in confined spaces and recessed surfaces through a long, slim testing nozzle.

Applications

  • Suitable for most metals. Also useful for curved and recessed sample surfaces.
  • Testing of metallic work pieces when the test indentation should be as small as possible, in line with non-destructive testing (NDT)
  • Determination of the hardness of pre-assembled machines or large steel and cast constructions (e.g.  in steel mills)
  • Measurement in confined spaces along process chains (e.g. in heat treatment shops)
  • Quick or manually documented acceptance tests and checks of incoming goods (e.g. from automotive sub-suppliers)
  • Off-site testing (e.g. technical goods purchasing or consulting)

Features

  • Rapid reload and trigger mechanism and automatic compensation for impact direction (360°)
  • Wide measurement range on most common hardness scales (HL, HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HS)
  • Immediate display of single readings in large bright digits + average of a measurement series
  • 2 in 1: Conveniently switch between universal Equotip D probe and slim DL nozzle (accessory)
  • Scratch-proof, hard-coated, zinc alloy housing – rugged and durable, compact in size
  • Intelligent, on/standby power switching for optimal battery charge life
  • Free firmware updates via the internet through USB

Product Variation

  • The DL Accessory Kit expands the application range of the Equotip Bambino 2 by extending its reach to confined spaces through a long, slim test nozzle.
  • Proceq offers a wide selection of support rings to permit testing on a great variety of surface geometries.
  • Proceq also offers an advanced version of the Bambino 2, the Equotip Piccolo 2, which in addition offers measurement statistics, additional conversions, data storage and data management on a PC.

Warranties

  • Standard 2-year limited warranty on electronic parts
  • Optional extended warranty periods up to 3 additional years
