Detailed Overview

A pocket-sized, compact Leeb hardness tester designed for rapid, on-site testing. It provides instant hardness readings by applying the Leeb rebound principle to assess the material properties of parts. This extremely portable device is the ideal solution for quick, preliminary hardness checks and material sorting when convenience and speed are paramount.

A pocket-sized, self-contained unit for rapid, convenient Leeb-based field testing.

• This extremely compact Leeb hardness tester integrates the impact device and display into a single unit, making it the fastest and simplest option for quick verification tests.
• It’s ideal for situations where portability is critical, requiring minimal setup and operation time, making it truly a “pocket-sized” NDT tool.
• The package includes the combined hardness tester unit, a small test block, and a lanyard for secure carrying.
• The device features automatic correction for the impact direction angle.

Top Features & Benefits

• Uses the Leeb (Piccolo 2) dynamic rebound principle. (Note: The Bambino 2 is a separate device with Leeb).
• Extremely compact and lightweight with an integrated impact device (Type D).
• High accuracy in a miniature device, ideal for preliminary or comparative testing.
• Simple, single-button operation with immediate display of results.
• Automatic compensation for impact angle (360 degrees).
• Automatic conversion to major standard hardness scales (HRC, HB, HV, etc.).

Primary Uses & Functions

A highly compact portable tester to determine the hardness of material in a small, user-friendly form factor, primarily using the Leeb rebound method for large, heavy components.

Real-World Applications

• Quick on-site Leeb hardness tests for material verification and sorting.
• Testing on heavy, large or installed parts such as piping, tanks, and steel structures.
• Hardness testing in confined spaces or at heights where larger equipment is impractical.
• Checking the hardness of forgings, castings, and rolling mill products.
