Description

Ultra-fast, precise (up to (1/100)o crystal orientation at your fingertips. DDCOM acquires reliable results more than 100 times faster than the traditional methods with additional time savings due to the top down-measurement geometry. This highly versatility instrument utilizes an air-cooled X-ray tube and portable design to ensure lower running costs and maximum convenience, ideal for quality control, marking, and research applications.

Features and Benefits
  • Ultra fast accuracy
    Our proprietary scan method requires only one scan rotation to gather all the necessary data for crystal orientation determination, delivering precise results in 10 seconds (single rotation).

    The material-specific instrument geometry enables the orientation of the crystal lattice to be measured in relation to the rotation axis ultra-fast with precision increasing with a number of scan rotations.

  • Compact, user-friendly format
    The compact design of DDCOM allows the system to fit into any setting. The software is both powerful and intuitive, making it convenient and easy to operate for a range of users.

  • Precise, efficient control
    Maintain control of cutting, grinding, and lapping processes with high precision up to 1/100o. DDCOM delivers complete lattice orientation of single crystals and is designed for the azimuthal setting and marking of crystal orientation.

    Pre-programmed crystal parameters enable the determination of arbitrary unknown orientation of various structures and aid in refining the workflow for greater efficiency. Various stage accessories enable metrology in different process steps.

  • Versatile and cost-effective
    DDCOM is well-equipped for both research and production environments in which a range of sample types need to be analyzed. Operating costs are low for the DDCOM, thanks to its low energy consumption and air-cooled X-ray tube – no water cooling is required.
