What Are Kwadron PMU Machines? (Equaliser & Glovcon Explained)

Kwadron PMU machines prioritize precision engineering and lasting quality. The best PMU machines provide smooth, controlled performance across different permanent makeup applications. Kwadron PMU machines, used for brows, eyeliner, lips, and scalp micropigmentation, guarantee safety and ergonomic comfort. 


When choosing a Kwadron PMU, you can select between the Equaliser or Glovcon lines. Equalisers are PMU rotary machines. These are similar to traditional rotary tattoo machines. For permanent makeup application, artists use specialized needles in a PMU machine vs. a tattoo machine that uses traditional needles. Glovcons are pen-style, wireless PMU machines that offer easier maneuverability.  


Both lines of Kwadron PMU machines, or "micropigmentation machines," uphold the respected reputation of Kwadron standard tattoo machines. What is a PMU machine vs. a tattoo machine? When comparing PMU and tattoo machines, they differ in how deep they inject ink into the skin: PMU machines do not inject below the first layer, while tattoo machines go deeper. This means permanent makeup may fade in one to three years. 

Choosing the Right Kwadron Machine for Your Work

Pay attention to the stroke length and voltage when looking for the best PMU machine. Key specs of the Equaliser (PMU rotary machines) and Glovcon (wireless PMU machines) lines are below: 

  • Equaliser Proton Rotary's voltage ranges from 7 to 11V, with a 3.5 mm stroke length. Absolutely no vibration. Only 130 grams. 

  • Equaliser Drop Pen is compact, yet powerful. Recommended voltage ranges from 6 to 9V with a 3.5 mm stroke length and needle depth up to 5 mm. 

  • Equaliser Mikron is only 86 grams. Has the thinnest grip and a stroke length of 2.8 mm.  Recommended voltage is 6-7V with a max of 9V. 

  • Glovcon Inox Lady V2 has a vibration-free motor and a 3 mm stroke length. Compact, versatile, and travels easily. Ideal PMU for lip, brow, and eyeliner.

  • Glovcon Pill Pen's thin grip and 3 mm stroke length make it a solid option for permanent makeup procedures. 

Quick Tips for New PMU Artists Using Kwadron Machines

When choosing the best PMU machine for beginners, keep in mind its stroke length, PMU rotary machine vs. wireless PMU machine options, and cartridge compatibility: 

  • Medium stroke length of 3.5 mm is the sweet spot for versatility. Short strokes (1.8 mm to 2.5 mm) are great for soft shading, and long strokes (4.0 mm-plus) are ideal for bold lines. 

  • Corded Kwadron PMU machines are lightweight, continuously powered, and feel like a traditional machine, though they do require cord management. Wireless Kwadron PMU machines let you move freely and travel with ease, though the battery makes them a bit heavier. 

  • Kwadron PMU machines are compatible with most cartridge types, like Kwadron Optima. Choose among round liners for lining, round shaders for shading and filling in pigment, square and flat for precise designs, and slope for lining and shading.
