Portable X-ray measuring device Pulse Tech to be released next month. May 25, 2012, Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun.

[Hamamatsu] Pulsatec Industries will release a compact X-ray measuring device, "μ-X360," on June 1st, which non-destructively measures residual strain on metal surfaces. The combined weight of the main unit and power supply unit is 9.5 kilograms, making it portable. The power consumption is kept to 20 watts. The price starts at 700,000 yen. The company aims to sell 30 units annually to manufacturers of conveying equipment parts and similar industries.
The measurement time has been reduced from about one hour for conventional products to approximately 90 seconds. X-rays are emitted from a distance of 3 centimeters over a range of 2 millimeters in diameter, and the reflected light is measured to assess strain. By focusing the inspection function on the strain of metal surfaces, the device achieves miniaturization and cost reduction. Traditional non-destructive testing devices can measure atomic distances and analyze components in detail, but they are large, not portable, and expensive.
