D8 ENDEAVOR – Process and Quality under Control

D8 ENDEAVOR - XRD system for powder applications

The new D8 ENDEAVOR is an advanced X-ray Diffraction (XRD) system for powder applications in industrial process optimization and quality control. It is the newest addition to the D8 diffractometer family combining the latest advances in instrument and data-evaluation technologies with a unique sample handling and networking concept.

The system can be used stand alone in a multi-user environment, taking advantage of its huge sample changer, or integrated into a laboratory environment for fully automated operation - where the instrument is interfaced to an automated sample preparation system, which feeds the samples via a conveyor belt or robot.

The D8 ENDEAVOR is easy to operate. Besides operating the instrument PC-based with the full DIFFRAC.SUITE software, it may optionally be equipped with a touchscreen facilitating sample analysis without using the full software suite (TouchControl^TM). Instead the simplified loader software is provided that minimizes operator training and reduces the instrument operation to simple push-buttons.

The D8 ENDEAVOR automatically delivers superior data quality identical to that of high-end research systems. The system is equipped with the latest 1-dimensional X-ray detector technology – LYNXEYE XE or XE-T – to enable shortest possible measurement time per sample while maintaining best sensitivity for lowest phase-content in the sample.

The D8 ENDEAVOR has been specifically designed and optimized for reliability and robustness. It provides the fastest, most-accurate, and cost-efficient XRD results in any industrial environment. The Harsh Environment option provides additional cooling for high temperatures together with extra dust protection. The 1 kW ECO configuration addresses environmental and infrastructural issues such as low power consumption and no need for extra cooling water.

Dedicated versions of the D8 ENDEAVOR are available for the Cement, Minerals, Pharma, Aluminum, and Metals industries. These turn-key solutions include a task specific instrument configuration, optimized data acquisition and evaluation packages, and industry specific application training and support. Ready-to-use and capable of any level of automation.
