The UB 6 stands out for its trendy, modern design. The nose pad has been improved for better pressure distribution as well as in terms of adjustability. In addition, the front lens holder now offers four instead of the usual 3 slots, while the rear lens holder accommodates two lenses, as before.
Unique to the design of the UB 6 is the gradation of the scale for reading off the axis and base position, which is now in steps of 2.5°, allowing for greater reading accuracy. The operating elements now have an attractive conical design and are grooved to provide a better grip. Their somewhat harder material makes them more durable than those of earlier models.
The aluminium scales are absolutely abrasion-proof. Their high contrast makes for easy reading also in darkened rooms. The upward angled operating element for precise nose pad adjustment has been designed for easy use outside the test person’s field of view.
The flexible arms adapt to the shape of the ears and do not need to be adjusted.
