A proven performer in the field, laboratory, and shop floor, the iXRD is an advanced system that will optimize your portable residual stress and retained austenite measurements. With our modular field stand approach, powerful software, easy-to-operate controls, and uniquely designed goniometers, the iXRD is one of the most flexible and sophisticated instruments available in the world.
The iXRD Standard offers all the modularity and flexibility you need for your residual stress and retained austenite measurements. To ensure full radiation protection, this system is available with portable barrier screens and convenient beacon lights. Whether you need to measure an oversized part or a structure in the field, the iXRD Standard can be configured to provide the optimal setup.
Our popular MG40 offers a good balance between size and versatility. With a 40-mm focal distance and our standard 30-mm x-ray tube, it can measure inside a 120-mm
diameter bore.
With its fully integrated phi rotation axis, the MGR40 allows for automated triaxial measurements in the field.
The smaller MG30 is ideal for measuring in tight locations. With a 30-mm focal distance and our miniature 16-mm x-ray tube, it is capable of measuring inside a 90-mm diameter bore.
A compact mount is available for lightweight and simple field use.
Our signature Cobra Arm offers fast, flexible positioning of the goniometer in any direction in space. It can be raised vertically, rotated horizontally, or turned upside down.
The easily removable C-Frame mount combines the convenience of triaxial measurements in the field with the accessibility of the MG40.
A basic, low-cost stand for added flexibility in the field. This is our basic field stand with a 100 mm automated z-axis for focusing, Cobra Arm for flexible positioning of the goniometer, magnetic feet, and adjustable foot pads.
Our most popular stand for portable stress measurements. Our upgraded field mapping stand has automated 100 mm x-, y-, and z-axes for convenient goniometer positioning and residual stress mapping. It also features a Cobra Arm for flexible positioning of the goniometer, magnetic feet, and adjustable foot pads.
Proto’s iXRD models feature a compact and portable 300W self-contained control unit. With integrated high-voltage supply, x-ray tube cooling, motor control, system electronics, and a display panel for kV, mA, and interlocks, this system provides everything you need to run measurements safely and reliably. Additional safety features include external ports for interfacing to an enclosure or barrier and beacon lights indicating when the shutter and x-ray are on.
All of our iXRDs are easy and convenient to use. A high-performance goniometer maintains ASTM E915 accuracy in a low-maintenance design. The manual focus pointer enables accurate positioning of the goniometer in complex geometries. The automated focus pointer provides convenient focusing of large residual stress maps. A wide variety of x-ray beam apertures are available, including round 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 mm options and rectangular 0.5×3, 1×3, 0.5×5, 1×5, and 2×5 mm options. High stress standards, zero stress powders, and RA standards ensure accurate results. Rapid positioning of the goniometer is accomplished with easy-turn locking handles.
Portable residual stress mapping (patented) is available on all iXRD models, providing a comprehensive picture of the residual stress state of your part. As the originators of residual stress mapping, Proto is a leader in the field. Automated retained austenite (as per ASTM E915) enables characterization of % RA in steels as low as 2%. X-ray elastic constant (XEC) determination ensures automated residual stress measurement material calibration as per ASTM E1426. X-ray tube cartridges allow for fast x-ray tube changes while maintaining accurate system alignment.
