Impact devices with CalTag
We offer impact devices that are application specific and all include CalTag which is integrated calibration to ensure precise and reliable measurements.
Type G impact device
A greater impact energy allows measurements on rough surfaces with little preparation. Recommended for large, founded and forged parts.
Type DL impact device
Features a 50mm long tip and 4mm diameter making it ideal to measure in hard to reach places such as grooves and gears.
Type D impact device
Impact device with a short body, ideal for measurements in reduced spaces.
Type D impact device comes standard with the QH5 D and QH5 M models.
Type E impact device
Uses a synthetic diamond ball allowing high hardness measurements (up to 1200 HV). This is the best option to measure hardened steel or parts with similar treatments.
Type C impact device
A low impact energy that also produces a smaller indentation makes this impact device ideal for superficial heat treatment and small part measurements.
