About 3-Rath
3-Rath Kalibrier+Prüftechnik GmbH & Co. KG, based in Haiger, has been active in the field of materials testing since 1981. The company offers hardness testers (Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Universal), universal and spring testing machines, as well as laboratory equipment for materialography such as cutting machines, grinding and polishing machines, and mounting presses. In addition to sales, the DAkkS-accredited calibration laboratory performs calibrations according to DIN EN ISO and ASTM and undertakes maintenance, repair, overhaul and manufacturer-independent modernization of testing machines from all manufacturers. The portfolio is complemented by the development of hardness testing software (VMS 3), calibration monitoring and remote maintenance. Customers include companies from the automotive industry, aerospace, toolmaking and heat treatment, as well as metallographic laboratories, including Daimler AG, BMW Group and Ford-Werke GmbH.
