Ready for an automated production environment, with autoloading and robotic integration capabilities available

Powerful and Automation-Ready: Nikon’s VOXLS 30 Series Nikon has changed the world of enterprise inspection with the launch of the new VOXLS 30 Series, CT systems optimized for automated industrial quality control and designed to help customers achieve zerodefect manufacturing. At the core of the VOXLS 30 Series system is an expertly designed, metrology-grade manipulator set on a vibration-damping and thermally stable granite base. This rock-solid foundation enables exact and repeatable part positioning within the system’s expansive scanning envelope which is greater than 600 mm (Ø) × 1,000...

Granite-based manipulator provides superior mechanical stability METROLOGY-GRADE MANIPULATOR STEEL TOWERS At the core of VOXLS 30 Series systems is a metrologygrade, granite-based manipulator coupled with rigid steel towers, high-precision motors and linear encoders. The resulting construction provides superior mechanical and thermal stability, resulting in more accurate manipulator positioning and, therefore, the generation of highly precise, repeatable measurement data throughout the entire scan volume. Enhanced rigidity and stability MICROFOCUS X-RAY SOURCE PANEL SHIFT Choice of 225, 320...

Advanced scanning technologies improve resolution, scan volume, and speed Panel Shift Thanks to horizontal detector movement, objects much wider than the field of view can be imaged and reconstructed as an automatically combined single CT volume. Additionally, small-to-medium-sized objects can be magnified over a wider area, resulting in increased resolution. 580 mm wide R-15 Car Tyre [scanned with Panel Shift] Half.Turn CT X.Tend Helical CT Tall objects can be scanned in a single acquisition process, eliminating artefacts introduced by the cone beam and multiscan stitching. This also...

Enabling automated inspection, calibration, and evaluation LiB.Overhang Analysis Automatic high-speed analysis of anode overhang in Lithium-ion batteries. Cutting-edge Deep Learning AI precisely and reliably analyses the fastest CT scans, exporting repeatable results in a machine-readable format. LiB.Overhang Analysis enables closed-loop process control, resulting in improved product quality and significantly reduced scrap. Local.Calibration Allows fast, automated calibration of voxel size at any CT scan position, rather than the user having to perform the function manually. This leads to a...

Rapid inspections in pursuit of zero-defect parts BATCH CT As standard, Nikon Metrology’s Inspect-X control software allows operators to save scan profiles to be recalled later. These profiles define all acquisition, reconstruction and analysis parameters, ensuring repeatability of the complete inspection process. The easy-to-use interface eliminates the requirement for advanced programming skills and manual parameter selection, freeing up the operator to carry out other tasks. ROBOTIC LOADING In-line CT enables fully autonomous inspection in production environments where critical complex...

Quality 4.0 CT inspection drives zero-defect production in smart factories The goal of Industry 4.0 is greater manufacturing competitiveness through lower costs, faster adaptation, and shortened timeto-market. This requires a shift in quality control from simply qualifying good or bad products to proactively controlling processes for zero defects via real-time data. Called Quality 4.0, this new paradigm demands frequent, detailed inspection as close to real-time as possible. With automated analysis of internal and external part features in a single fast process, computed tomography is...
