Our products: control and measurement instruments

Hardness testers, gear testers, metallographic equipment, and non-destructive testing instruments: the measurement instrumentation the industry seeks.

CRASE is a key player in the distribution of industrial measurement and control instruments. We support companies in the automotive, energy, mechanical engineering, steel, and foundry sectors throughout every stage of quality control—from selecting the right instrument to calibration and on-site technical support.

Our product range spans from benchtop and portable hardness testers testers to metallographic equipment, gear testing machines, and 3D optical measuring machines, as well as non-destructive testing instruments such as roughness testers and ultrasonic thickness gauges.

Complete range of CRASE products

Hardness testers are high-precision measuring machines used to determine the hardness of a material. Rockwell, Brinell and Vickers hardness testers are designed for quality control laboratories and production departments. These instruments accurately measure metal hardness according to the main hardness scales and are suitable for both small and large components.

CRASE portable hardness testers are available in Leeb, ultrasonic UCI, Rockwell, Brinell and other models. These portable testers allow hardness testing to be performed directly on the shop floor, on fixed structures, or on large components.

Specialized analyzers for measuring case depth following heat treatments such as carburizing, hardening, and nitriding, without the need to section, mount, or polish the workpiece. Based on the patented Ernst principle, the HTD1500, HTD4000 and HTD30 instruments deliver accurate results while preserving component integrity and drastically reducing inspection times.

Comprehensive equipment for metallographic analysis: cutting machines, mounting machines, polishing and lapping machines, and consumables for metallographic examination. Designed for laboratories that prepare and analyze metal sections to high quality standards.

Metrology instruments for gear measurement and inspection. The GMM gear measuring machines distributed by CRASE and manufactured by MDM Metrosoft—enable a wide range of measurements to be performed automatically and with high precision. Key applications are found in the aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering sectors.

Manual, CNC and instant video measuring systems for the rapid and precise dimensional inspection of components and small parts within quality control processes. They are frequently used for high-resolution 3D measurement in the aerospace and mechanical industries, where measurement precision is a process requirement rather than a choice.

Non-destructive testing instruments

Non-destructive testing (NDT) consists of quality tests performed on materials and components without altering or damaging them. These tests are essential in industrial settings for verifying the absence of defects and ensuring compliance with current regulations.

Digital ultrasonic thickness gauges for measuring the thickness of metals, coatings, and pipe walls without requiring access to both surfaces. Portable instruments are available for the mechanical industry, maintenance, and quality control of manufactured parts.

Portable roughness testers for measuring surface roughness based on Ra, Rz, and Rq parameters. They are essential for quality control in machining, surface treatments, and finishes specified in technical requirements. These instruments are recognized as effective for measuring specific, hard-to-reach points.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) consists of quality tests performed on materials and finished components without altering or damaging them. CRASE offers a comprehensive range of instruments: Shore hardness testers, glossmeters, flaw detectors, coating testing and magnetic testing instruments.

Certified secondhand and instrument upgrades

When a new instrument is not required, CRASE offers practical alternatives: refurbished used hardness testers and modernization systems for machines already in use.

A selection of refurbished and certified secondhand hardness testers, available in Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and universal versions. A secondhand hardness tester is a practical alternative for those seeking reliable performance at an excellent price-performance ratio.

Drawing on its experience, CRASE also offers upgrade and digitization services for existing gear measuring machines (manual, semi-automatic, and CNC), gear inspection instruments for functional gear testing, and roughness testers, which are essential for verifying gear tooth roughness.

When the mechanical structure remains sound but the electronics and software are obsolete, CRASE steps in with modernization systems designed for hardness testers, gear testing machines, and tensile and spring testing machines. The result is upgraded performance at a reasonable cost—without the need to replace the machine.
