Nikon VOXLS 20 Series – X-ray and CT Systems

The Nikon VOXLS 20 Series combines X-ray imaging and computed tomography for non-destructive inspection of industrial components. Its compact footprint, flexible CT capabilities and metrology-grade platform support quality control, failure analysis and research applications.

Description

VOXLS 20 Series X-ray CT Systems

The VOXLS 20 Series provides X-ray and computed tomography (CT) inspection for industrial components. The system supports non-destructive inspection of internal structures, defects and dimensional features without sectioning the sample.

In addition, the platform combines a compact footprint with a metrology-grade mechanical structure. As a result, manufacturers can use the system in quality laboratories, production environments and research facilities.

VOXLS 20 Series for Non-Destructive Inspection

The VOXLS 20 Series supports X-ray and CT inspection across a wide range of industrial applications. The system provides access to internal component features that conventional surface inspection cannot reveal.

For example, users can examine internal voids, inclusions, assemblies and other structures without cutting the component.

Nikon developed the platform with a granite base, rigid steel manipulator towers and high-accuracy encoders and motors. These features support stable and repeatable CT data acquisition. The VOXLS 20 C 225 provides an inspection volume of 555 mm in diameter × 759 mm in height.

Flexible CT Scanning Technologies

The system supports several CT scanning techniques. Therefore, users can select a scanning method according to the component geometry and inspection requirement.

Available techniques include:

  • X.Tend Helical CT
  • Offset.CT
  • Panel Shift CT
  • Tilted CT
  • Scatter Correction CT
  • AI Reconstruction
  • Limited Angle CT

These options help address different sample sizes, geometries and material combinations.

Dual-Source Configuration

The VOXLS 20 C 225 uses a motorised dual-source configuration. It combines a 225 kV reflection target with a 160 kV transmission target.

The reflection target provides higher X-ray flux for productivity. Meanwhile, the transmission target supports high-resolution imaging. Users can select the appropriate source according to the inspection application.

Metrology-Grade Mechanical Platform

The system uses a granite base and rigid steel manipulator towers. High-accuracy encoders and motors further support precise positioning.

As a result, the platform provides the mechanical stability required for repeatable X-ray and CT inspection.

The VOXLS 20 C 225 supports a maximum central sample load of 30 kg. Nikon also specifies a compact footprint for the system, which supports installation in a range of quality laboratory and production environments.

CT Inspection for Different Applications

The VOXLS 20 Series supports applications across several manufacturing and engineering sectors.

Typical applications include:

  • Automotive component inspection
  • Electronics inspection
  • Battery inspection
  • Aerospace component inspection
  • Additive manufacturing
  • Casting inspection
  • Research and development
  • Production quality control
  • Failure analysis

For example, engineers can use CT data to examine internal structures without destroying the component. This approach supports both development work and production quality investigations.
