GNR StressX: 6-Axis Robot-Mounted XRD for Residual Stress on Any Sample Size
The StressX combines a compact X-ray diffractometer with a 6-axis anthropomorphic robot to deliver non-destructive residual stress analysis on samples of any dimension and shape — in the lab or on-site.
The StressX mounts the diffractometer head on a 6-axis robot with positioning accuracy down to 20 μm and a positioning range up to 895 mm radius from the robot center. A video camera enables X-Y pointing, while a laser system handles Z positioning with accuracy less than 10 μm and a measurement range up to 300 mm.
Available in a closed cabin configuration for laboratory analysis or on a four-wheel trolley for on-site use. Software supports uni-axial, bi-axial, and tri-axial residual stress analysis — compliant with ASTM E915 and UNI EN 15305.
