StressX Robotic X-Ray Diffractometer for Residual Stress Analysis

GNR StressX Robotic X-Ray Diffractometer for Residual Stress Analysis The GNR StressX is an advanced X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) specifically designed for accurate, non-destructive Residual Stress Analysis on components of virtually any size and geometry. By integrating a compact X-ray diffractometer with a high-precision 6-axis anthropomorphic robotic system, StressX delivers exceptional flexibility for inspecting complex parts that are difficult or impossible to analyze using conventional XRD systems. Available as either a laboratory system with a fully enclosed safety cabin or a mobile trolley configuration for on-site inspections, the StressX provides reliable residual stress measurements across a wide range of industrial applications. The system evaluates stresses generated by machining, grinding, rolling, deep drawing, welding, thermal hardening, and shot peening, helping manufacturers improve product durability, fatigue resistance, and operational safety. The robotic measurement system offers outstanding positioning accuracy and repeatability, allowing precise inspection of complex components with minimal operator intervention. A combination of an integrated video camera for X-Y positioning and a high-precision laser for Z-axis alignment ensures accurate targeting of measurement locations, while the six degrees of freedom enable access to challenging inspection areas and a wide range of measurement angles. Combining advanced X-ray diffraction technology with intelligent robotic automation, the GNR StressX is an ideal solution for quality assurance, process optimization, failure analysis, and research applications requiring fast, repeatable, and highly accurate residual stress measurements.
