Portable Theta/Theta XRD — SpiderX-Edge by GNR
The SpiderX-Edge is a portable Theta/Theta X-ray diffractometer for measuring residual stress and retained austenite, in the laboratory or on the shop floor. It runs on its battery for about 2 hours and needs no water chiller.
Residual stress and retained austenite
SpiderX-Edge — technical detail
SpiderX-Edge — key specifications
- Portable Theta/Theta diffractometer for residual stress, retained austenite, and alloy structure/phase checks
- Compliant with ASTM E915 and UNI EN 15305 (residual stress) and ASTM E975-13 (retained austenite)
- Theta/Theta goniometer, 80 mm radius · Psi scan −45° to +45° · X-ray tube and detector move automatically and independently
- DECTRIS MYTHEN2 R 1D detector (640 strips), air-cooled · 0.5 / 1 / 2 mm collimators as standard
- Laser positioning accurate to better than 10 µm over a 100 ± 25 mm range
SpiderX-Edge — use in the field
A low-power X-ray tube means no recirculating chiller is needed. It runs from mains or batteries (about 2 hours in full operation mode, recharging while in use) — suited to production-line QA/QC and to large parts that cannot be brought into the lab.
