Product Overview

The Rigaku AutoMATE II is an automated residual stress analysis system based on X-ray diffraction. The AutoMATE II provides fast, non-destructive measurement of surface and near-surface residual stresses in metallic and ceramic components, which is critical for predicting component fatigue life, manufacturing quality control and failure analysis.

Residual stress measurement is essential in the aerospace, automotive, power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing industries where surface treatments such as shot peening, heat treatment, welding and machining introduce stress distributions that affect component performance and reliability. The AutoMATE II’s portable design, automated measurement routines and comprehensive analysis software enable rapid, on-site stress evaluation.
