How It Works

Pulstec’s inline single crystal orientation can be configured for on-site and lab use. Similar to our original s-Laue model, the m-Laue is intuitive. It only takes three simple steps to determine single crystal orientation:

  1. Use its CCD camera to set your sample and adjust to the right working distance.
  2. Use the m-Laue software to start the X-ray irradiation and detection process.
  3. Calculate the crystal’s orientation by fitting the Laue spots.

Features & Benefits

  • Fast Measurements: The m-Laue can acquire Laue spots of single crystal materials within 60 seconds.
  • Vertical Irradiation: This system allows vertical irradiation for easier sample setup, orientation flexibility, and improved resolution of Laue spots. Just align the object’s position with the vertical X-ray.
  • Integrated Air Cooling: This single crystal orientation system features an air-cooled X-ray generator and high-sensitivity detector, eliminating the need for an external water chiller.
  • Application Flexibility: The m-Laue’s X-ray sensor can be configured for mapping, on-site analysis, and/or system integration.

Tripod

The m-Laue’s X-ray sensor can be mounted on the tripod for on-site measurements. The sample size is flexible when using the tripod.

Note: When using the tripod, you must create a safety area or use shielding.

Pulstec’s shield box for on-site measurements

Shield Box

Pulstec offers three shield box sizes:

  • Standard: 0.8m (Width) x 0.6m (Depth) x 0.6m (Height)
  • Middle: 1.4m (Width) x 0.9m (Depth) x 0.8m (Height)
  • Large: 2.0m (Width) x 1.2m (Depth) x 1.0m (Height)

All options have zero radiation leakage.

System Integration Bracket

If your systems need a sensor to measure crystal orientation, you can combine the m-Laue X-ray device with your machine using our specialized system integration bracket.

FAQs

Pulstec manufactures a specialized system integration bracket that’s designed for your equipment. When you purchase the m-Laue, we will provide instructions for installing our system in your equipment.

Pulstec’s XRD equipment, including the m-Laue, maintains low X-ray power for safety. For additional protection, we offer three shield box sizes that prevent radiation leakage.

The pricing varies based on any additional accessories you may need. Please contact our Sales Engineer for a free, no-obligation demo.

Yes. The m-Laue is designed for on-site and in-lab use. When using the m-Laue for field measurements, we recommend purchasing our tripod to mount the sensor on and a shield box for extra protection.

Our standard collimator provides an irradiation spot of φ0.8 mm. We offer an optional collimator with a 0.4mm diameter, and a motorized XY slide stage that allows you to perform orientation mapping within a 150 x 150mm area.

Any crystalline material. The m-Laue system is primarily used to measure large samples, such as turbines, ingots, and crystal wafers.

An external stage for measuring larger samples and a shielding plan to comply with safety regulations.
