Portable Residual Stress Analyzer

Non-destructive analysis on any dimensions sample for indoor and outdoor analysis. 

* EN UNI 15305 and ASTM 915 compliant 

* Indoor and Outdoor Analysis 

 

 

SpiderX

SpiderX is the new GNR portable residual stress analyzer. It has been designed focusing on exceptional portability lightness, easiness to set up, outstanding performances and negligible X-Ray emissions. 

The result is a compact and smart instrument, based on a low power X-Ray Tube and on a fast and highly efficient detector, the combination of which ensures accurate and fast measurements. 

The head of the goniometer rotates along a curved sector of 90 degrees, for the determination of the stress status in polycristalline materials. The 2Theta angle can be changed from 135° to 165° in order to analyze Fe (ferrite, austenite), Al, Ni, Cu, Ti and Mg Alloys. 

Compact Case and Portability

Portability is assured by a compact case. 

Supplied together with the instrument, provides a safe housing of the goniometer, electronical part and all the accessories required. It is exactly like a trolley!

Outdoor Analysis

  • Non Destructive on-site measurement of big sample 
  • Easily access to the measurement point thanks to the versatility of the goniometer head 
  • Battery allows on-site measurement without the main power supply 
  • Single case contains goniometer and power supply with a total weight of approx. 19 kg. 

Indoor Analysis

  • SpiderX can be used also for indoor analysis into a laboratory 
  • Anthropomorphic arm allows changing easily the measuring point 

Some specific applications of the Stress-X are listed below: 

  • Detection of Residual Stress on sprocket wheels 
  • Detection of Residual Stress on car motor parts (cam axles, connecting rods, engine shafts, equalisers, ...) 
  • Detection of Residual Stress induced by deep drawing (household appliances, structural parts, ...) 
  • Detection of existing Operational Stress on gas conducts 
  • Detection of Operational Stress on large tensioned structures 
  • Measurement of efficiency of Shot-Peening and rolling of components subjected to Stress 
  • Definition of the quantity of Retained Austenite on bearings and parts of diesel motor injectors 
  • Detection of Residual Stress in castings (cast iron parts of tool machines and aluminium components) 
  • Detection of Stress induced by welding (laser and electron) 
  • Search for a correlation between residual stress and stress resistance of aluminium alloy car rims
  • Optimisation of working parameters for swarf removal to improve the stress resistance of mechanical components 
  • Detection of Residual Stress on helicoidal and leaf springs 
  • Search for critical zones after applying work loads (arms and aeronautics)
