Description
GNR Edge Portable X-Ray Diffractometer for Residual Stress and Retained Austenite Analysis
The GNR Edge is an advanced Portable Theta/Theta X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) specifically engineered for accurate residual stress measurement, retained austenite analysis, and alloy structure investigation. Designed with exceptional portability, lightweight construction, and fast setup, the system delivers laboratory-quality analytical performance for both field inspections and laboratory environments.
Equipped with advanced X-ray diffraction technology, the Edge enables reliable and non-destructive evaluation of production components, engineering materials, and test specimens. Its portable design includes everything required to perform residual stress and retained austenite measurements on-site, eliminating the need to transport large or critical components to a laboratory.
The Edge is developed to support Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) throughout manufacturing processes by providing fast, repeatable, and highly accurate measurements. Available in multiple configurations—including a standard portable system, a fixed laboratory configuration with protective cabin, and a dedicated bridge inspection configuration—the instrument offers outstanding flexibility for a wide range of industrial applications.
Fully compliant with international X-ray, machine, and electrical safety requirements, the GNR Edge provides maximum operator protection while maintaining radiation exposure well below the public annual dose limit defined by ANSI N43.3-1993 and other applicable safety standards.
