Description
Philips Norelco XRG-5000 60KV X-Ray Diffraction Spectrography System Goniometer
The Philips Norelco XRG-5000 is a complete 60 kV X-ray diffraction and spectrography system designed for materials analysis in research and industrial laboratory environments. The system combines a high-voltage constant-potential X-ray generator with a wide-range goniometer, lead-shielded safety enclosure, data processor and controller console, strip-chart recorder, and vacuum chamber accessories — forming a full analytical X-ray workstation capable of powder diffraction, single-crystal orientation, and X-ray spectrographic analysis.

Applications
X-ray diffractometry systems of this type are used in materials science, chemistry, geology, metallurgy, and semiconductor research to determine the crystalline structure of solid materials. The technique — X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) — works by directing a focused X-ray beam at a sample and measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted rays to identify phases, lattice parameters, and crystal structures. The Norelco XRG-5000 platform was a widely used research-grade system from the late 1970s through the 1980s, found in university analytical labs, national research centers, mining and metallurgical facilities, and industrial quality-control labs. The copper (Cu) X-ray tube is the standard choice for most powder diffraction work on organic and inorganic materials. The AMR vacuum chamber and focusing monochromator accessories extend the system's capability to thin-film and single-crystal work, and the single-crystal orientor base assembly supports crystallographic orientation tasks common in semiconductor wafer preparation and mineral analysis. Bristol Dynamaster strip-chart recorders were the standard data-output method for diffractometers of this era, prior to digital data acquisition systems. This is a substantial vintage analytical instrument dating from the early 1980s and represents a complete, multi-component XRD workstation.
This Philips Norelco XRG-5000 60KV X-Ray Diffraction and Spectrography System has been pulled from a working research environment where it was previously in active use. The system has been visually inspected and photographed; photos show the full console setup including the lead-shielded acrylic safety enclosure, goniometer, and rackmount data processor/controller cabinet, all appearing intact and complete. Normal aging wear is visible on the cabinet panels and control surfaces, consistent with a research instrument of this vintage. The system includes all major subsystems as described: the XRG-5000 generator with Cu X-ray tube and safety enclosure, the Norelco wide-range goniometer, the rolling rackmount cabinet with data processor and controller, the Bristol Dynamaster strip-chart recorder, the AMR vacuum chamber, AMR focusing monochromator, a second 15-ft high-voltage cable, and the base assembly for the single-crystal orientor option. It has not been bench-tested or powered up at our facility. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing — freight logistics will need to be arranged for this large system.
