Abstract

The materials science diffractometer STRESS-SPEC located at Forschungsneutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM-II) in Garching/Germany is a dedicated instrument for residual strain, texture and microstrain analysis. Comparably low gauge volumes of 1x1x1mm3 for gradient investigations in many types of materials can be investigated. A robot system consisting of a robot type Stäbli RX160, a laser tracker and a heavy vibration free basement was installed to overcome limitations in gradient investigations of residual stresses and crystallographic textures in semifinished and finished products. The robot can carry up to 30kg with precise positioning. Al7020, an Al-alloy for airspace application, was used to perform a first global texture measurement using the robot.
