StressX & SpiderX Edge

X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
Dectris Mythen2 R 1D
ASTM E915 / UNI EN 15305
Residual Stress & Retained Austenite
Stationary & Portable Options

GNR StressX and SpiderX Edge are industrial XRD diffractometer systems designed for residual stress and retained austenite measurement. StressX serves laboratory and production-line applications with a robotic arm; SpiderX Edge brings the same detector technology to the field in a 29 kg portable system.

GNR StressX — Robotic XRD Goniometer System

Robotic Reach for Any Geometry

StressX integrates a compact XRD goniometer with a 6-axis anthropomorphic robot arm. Residual stress measurements on large and complex components are performed without additional fixturing or a zero-stress reference sample.

🤖
6-Axis Anthropomorphic Robot
Positioning and repeatability better than 20 µm. The robot arm handles all goniometer functions, enabling automated stress mapping on complex component geometries. Available working radii: 895 mm and 706 mm.
🔬
Psi Goniometer — Multiple Radii
Goniometer radius options: 120, 140, and 160 mm. 2Theta range 125°–164°. Suitable for Fe, Al, Ni, Cu, Ti, and Mg alloys. Standard anode: Cr; optional: Cu, Co, Fe, V, Ti, Mn.
💧
Integrated Closed-Loop Cooling
The water cooling system is self-contained; no external plumbing or water supply is required. An automatic shutdown activates if coolant flow drops. Power stability <25 ppm/h after a 2-hour warm-up.
GNR SpiderX Edge — Portable XRD Diffractometer

Field Measurement, Laboratory Accuracy

SpiderX Edge is the smallest Theta/Theta diffractometer on the market. Battery operation, air cooling, and a 29 kg total weight make on-site measurement practical. No sample preparation required.

🔷
Theta/Theta Goniometer — 80 mm
The X-ray tube and detector move independently on motorized arms. 2Theta range 45°–170°; Psi scan from −45° to +45° with ±5° oscillation. Both vertical and horizontal positioning are supported.
🔋
Battery and Transport System
A 9 Ah battery provides approximately 2 hours of full operation without recharging; charging during operation is also supported. A waterproof, shock-resistant wheeled case houses all components for safe transport.
🎯
Laser Alignment — <10 µm
Contactless laser alignment prevents sample-instrument collision. Components with unconventional geometries can be measured without any sample preparation. Measurement range: 100 ±25 mm.

What You Wonder About

If you need high-throughput measurement on large or heavy components in a laboratory or production-line setting, StressX is the better fit. If measurements are required on in-situ structures, large machinery, or across multiple locations, SpiderX Edge is the more practical choice. Both systems meet the same standards; the difference lies in component accessibility and positioning flexibility.

StressX uses a self-contained closed-loop water cooling circuit — no external plumbing or water connection is needed. SpiderX Edge is air-cooled and requires no water cooling at all. Both configurations simplify installation in facilities that lack dedicated coolant infrastructure.

Any polycrystalline material with sufficient crystallinity can be analyzed: ferritic and austenitic steels, aluminum, copper, titanium, magnesium, nickel alloys, and ceramics. Alongside the standard Cr anode, Cu, Co, Fe, V, Ti, and Mn anode options are available for different material systems.

Both systems comply with ASTM E915 and UNI EN 15305 for residual stress measurement, and with ASTM E975-13 for retained austenite determination. The software includes analysis modes that directly support these standards; measurement reports are generated in exportable formats.
