Alvord Systems designs, manufactures, and integrates precision X-ray diffraction, Laue crystal orientation, and industrial inspection systems — built for production lines, QA stations, and research labs that demand arc-second accuracy.
We build instrumentation for every stage of crystal production and X-ray-based quality control — from boule orientation through final QA.
Custom XRD platforms — Laue, powder, and high-resolution configurations — engineered around your sample geometry, throughput targets, and data-pipeline requirements.
Laue diffraction systems for orienting quartz, sapphire, silicon, YAG, KTP, and other single-crystal materials prior to coring, slicing, or final QA — to within ±5 arc seconds.
Multi-axis goniometer platforms with stepper or piezo drives, integrated angle encoders, and automated peak-detection software for repeatable, traceable measurements.
Inline and offline inspection cells for non-destructive testing, semiconductor wafer alignment, and dimensional metrology — designed for production-floor environments.
Sample-specific fixturing, robotic loaders, environmental chambers, and integration with existing motion-control, MES, or LIMS infrastructure.
Modernize legacy diffractometers with current-generation detectors, motion control, and automated peak-detection — extending capital equipment lifecycles by a decade or more.
Every system we ship goes through the same disciplined engineering process — so your team knows exactly what's happening from kickoff to install.
We assess sample geometry, throughput, environmental constraints, and integration touchpoints, then deliver a feasibility report with cost ranges.
Detailed mechanical, X-ray optical, and control-system design with simulation, tolerance stackups, and a fixed-scope build proposal.
In-house fabrication, assembly, and factory acceptance testing against your spec — with full traceability and calibration documentation.
On-site commissioning, operator training, and ongoing technical support — including spares, retrofits, and software updates.
We're not reselling someone else's diffractometer. Every system is designed, machined, and integrated to fit your application — whether that's a single-station orientation cell or a fully automated inspection line.
Send the basics — sample type, throughput, integration constraints — and we'll come back within one business day with a feasibility view and ballpark.
For sales, technical questions, retrofits, or service contracts — start here. We respond to every inquiry personally.
