Downward compatibility:

Equotip 550 Leeb U is compatible with the existing Parotester impact devices. The measurement is identical while the endurance of the cable has been significantly improved. By taking Leeb readings across the roll, uneven, too soft or too hard winding can be detected and the roll can be rejected.

Downward compatibility: (Cont)

This minimizes the risk of complications e.g. during the printing process on paper. Automatic loading and unloading of the impact body by pressing the impact device to the roll as implemented in the Proceq Equotip 550 Leeb U roll hardness tester results in fast and repeatable tests of greater resolution than the commonly used Original Schmidt type L hammer tester.
