Notice of the Hardness Tester Trade-In Campaign!!

<Easy operation with a touchscreen> All-in-one hardness testing solution

◆【Same-Day Service】 Repairs and calibrations are handled domestically with FTS◆ The Echo Chip 550 is a next-generation model that has further evolved based on the know-how of the previous Echo Chip series. It supports a wide range of hardness scales, and its more compact portable design makes it suitable for use in the field, factories, and laboratories without limitation on measurement locations. By exchanging the impact device, it can accommodate a diverse array of materials and shapes. The Echo Chip 550 can easily handle hardness measurements such as HL (Leeb), HV (Vickers), HB (Brinell), HR (Rockwell), and HS (Shore).

◆◇◆【Same-Day Support】 With FTS, repairs and calibrations are handled domestically ◆◇◆ The Echo Chip Piccolo 2 is a very compact model equipped with memory and communication functions, part of the Echo Chip series Bambino 2. Additionally, using the included transfer software, transferring data from the USB port to a PC is easily possible. (Conversion to text data and incorporation of unique correction factors are also possible.) It can directly display hardness values (HL, HV, HR, HB, HS). There are two types available: the "D type" for measuring flat surfaces and the "DL type," which is ideal for measuring the bottom of teeth, corners, and welds. 【Features】 ■ Excellent operability, making it ideal for on-site testing without individual differences. ■ High precision with a testing accuracy of ±4HL and excellent reproducibility. ■ Capable of converting to all hardness values (HV, HR, HB, HS, etc.). ■ Can incorporate unique conversion curves. ■ Automatic recognition of impact direction (360°).

On July 1, 2026 (Wednesday), talent Risa Yoshiki has been appointed as the official ambassador of b-search Co., Ltd. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Risa Yoshiki, who is active in various fields such as television and magazines, as our official ambassador (effective July 1, 2026).

What is required in future recruitment activities is not the traditional method of "simply posting job advertisements and waiting for applications." What is urgently needed now is "proactive recruitment," which involves partnering with companies as their "best No. 2" to consistently promote everything from the planning of recruitment strategies to the establishment of systems that yield results.
