Questions and answers about the µ-X360J
The µ-X360J is the latest generation of X-ray stress analyser – also usable mobile – for the fast and reliable determination of residual stresses and retained austenite in metallic components. By changing the tube, it can be used on a wide range of metals and alloys as well as ceramics. It replaces the established µ-X360s and sets new standards in precision, speed and ease of use.
The µ-X360J offers higher precision, shorter measurement times and significantly improved usability. It also enables more stable and efficient measurement processes as well as extended automation through the optional StressEasy software.
The system is designed for residual stress and retained austenite determination in metallic components. Typical applications include assessing material condition, fatigue strength and quality assurance in manufacturing processes. It also provides indications of dislocation density, texture and coarse grain.
Yes, thanks to its easy positioning and short measurement times, the µ-X360J is ideal for use both in laboratories and directly in production.
The optional StressEasy software enables extensive automation of measurement processes, including stress mapping, batch measurements and integrated target value checks for production lines.
Yes, in combination with a six-axis robot, the system becomes highly automated. Measurements can be performed sequentially without user intervention in a fully digitised workflow.
Stress mapping allows area-based analysis of residual stress states. In the µ-X360J, mappings are customisable and can be enhanced with oscillation movements at selected positions.
The µ-X360J is designed for ease of use. Features such as automatic calibration and easy component replacement significantly reduce user effort.
The tube module can be easily replaced via a plug-in system after loosening two mounting screws. The integrated collimator also allows flexible adjustment of the measurement spot size.
The larger detector allows for a greater measuring distance, improving accessibility and enhancing the resolution of the measurement signal.
