Proceq Celebrates 50 Years of Equotip Portable Hardness Testers

Proceq, a global leader in non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions, marks the 50th anniversary of its Equotip portable hardness testers. Since the invention of the Leeb Rebound Hardness Test (LRHT) by Dietmar Leeb and Dr. Brandestini in Switzerland, 1975, Equotip has fundamentally reshaped material quality assurance across diverse industries including automotive, manufacturing, and aerospace with relaible solutions. 

Equotip's introduction of the Leeb rebound principle provided engineers and technicians with an unprecedented ability to perform rapid, accurate and non-destructive hardness testing both on site and in the lab. This innovation addressed critical quality inspection challenges, enabling immediate assessment of material properties and contributing significantly to enhanced safety and efficiency.

Today's Equotip devices boast advanced features like intuitive software, touchscreen interfaces, wireless connectivity, and sophisticated data analysis capabilities, combined with its inherent premium Swiss quality. From the pocket-size Equotip Bambino to the versatile Equotip 550 all-in-one device, the spirit of innovation and feedback from users continues to drive the product line forward.

To mark this significant milestone, Proceq will be hosting a series of initiatives throughout the year, including special offers, competitions, interactive online events, and the launch of a special 50th-anniversary edition product (stay tuned for details!).
