All-inclusive system for X-ray residual stress testing. Xstress Robot system with robot goniometer makes stress measurements by X-ray diffraction easy and flexible on complicated parts, large and small.
- Xstress Robot is an advanced X-ray stress analyzer, which is based on solid state linear sensor technique.
- The robot handles all functions such as tilting and rotation.
- Automatic mapping on complicated parts, such as turbine blade is possible.
- Fully customizable, accurate, and repeatable measurement routines.

Safety
This equipment is intended to be used only in safety enclosure that fulfils all local laws, standards and requirements and complies fully with ISO 10218- 2:2011 Annex G, means of verification of the safety requirements and measures.
Meets or exceeds ANSI N43.3 - 1993 and other industry standards for open beam X-ray operation, including:
- Fail-safe “X-rays on” and “shutter open” lights.
- Automatic shutdown if shutter stuck, remains open or removed; if X-ray tube shielding is loose or removed; if coolant temperature is too high or flow disturbed.
