Equotip 550

⚙️General Features of the Equotip 550 Platform

🛠️ Supported Measurement Principles

Equotip 550 LEEB (Ball Rebound Method)

• Dynamic Principle: The Leeb hardness principle is based on the dynamic (rebound) method. An impact body equipped with a metal test tip is propelled against the surface of the test piece.
• Ideal Applications: Particularly suited for on-site testing of heavy, bulky, or already installed components.
• Scale Flexibility: Measurements are automatically converted into all common hardness scales (HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA, HS) as required.
• The Equotip 550 features the most extensive library of materials and conversion curves on the market

Equotip 550 PORTABLE ROCKWELL

• Static Precision: The traditional static Rockwell measurement method measures the penetration depth of a diamond indente.
• Universal Application: Unlike the Leeb and UCI methods, the Rockwell method is independent of the material being tested.
• Ideal for Fragile Parts: Specially suited for thin, polished, and scratch-sensitive components..
• Integrable Measuring Clamp: The measuring clamp enables hardness testing on lightweight parts and components with very small diameters, such as bars, wires, and tubes.

Equotip 550 UCI

• Ultrasonic Method: The UCI method utilizes the same pyramidal diamond as a conventional Vickers hardness tester and excites a rod to produce an ultrasonic oscillation.
• Adjustable Test Load: With this unique and patented feature, a wide range of applications can be covered. The test load can be selected from five levels between HV1 and HV10, eliminating the need to purchase multiple UCI probes.
• Guaranteed Measurements: The user guidance system allows you to obtain reliable and accurate hardness measurements quickly and easily.
• Accessibility: An optional special foot increases repeatability on flat or curved surfaces.

Equotip 550 MOTORIZED UCI

• Automated Application: The difference lies in the load application, which is performed by a motorized probe instead of the operator, thereby significantly reducing human bias and effort.
• Micro-Hardness: Access to micro-hardness testing thanks to lower available test loads compared to the standard UCI probe (< 1 HV). Two probe types are available: an HV0.3 probe (300 g load) and an HV0.8 probe (800 g load).
• Non-Destructive Testing: Shallower and narrower indentation marks that are virtually invisible to the naked eye on the tested surfaces.

Equotip LINK Software & Connectivity

• Free and Subscription-Free: The Equotip Link software is the ultimate solution for your data management (quick reporting, backup, processing, and updates).
• Data Processing: Download, view, process, and export your measurements as Excel or PNG files.
• Advanced Usage: Extend capabilities with a barcode/QR code scanner for part identification, or a Wi-Fi bridge for wireless data transfer.
