Xstress Series

Designed for residual stress and retained austenite measurements

X‑ray Residual Stress Systems – Xstress Series

The Xstress series offers portable and stationary X‑ray diffractometers designed to measure residual stress and retained austenite using a non‑destructive diffraction technique. These systems deliver unmatched reliability and accuracy for quality control, industrial process monitoring and research, providing fast measurements with 2D detectors and advanced analysis features. Modular designs allow you to upgrade instruments with rotation units, retained‑austenite modules and mapping kits as your needs evolve.

Xstress DR45

Xstress DR45 is the most advanced X-ray diffractometer on market for residual stress measurement.

Xstress Profile

Fast. Accurate. Fully Automated Residual Stress Depth Measurement.

The Xstress Profile system is Stresstech’s automated X-ray diffraction solution for residual stress depth profiling.
It combines precision engineering with user-friendly automation to measure residual stress and retained austenite as a function of depth — quickly, repeatably, and without operator dependency.

Designed for both laboratory and production environments, the system integrates sample material removal, X-ray diffraction, and data analysis into one seamless process. This makes it ideal for applications that require layer-by-layer stress mapping, such as surface-treated, shot-peened, or machined components.

Xstress Cabinet

Secure, enclosed X-ray measurement solutions designed for precision and safety.

The Xstress Cabinet is a fully-enclosed safety solution designed to accompany the Xstress DR45 diffractometer, providing a secure and controlled environment for X-ray diffraction measurements.
Stresstech offers this cabinet to ensure full compliance with safety standards while enabling advanced residual stress measurement setups.
