Description
The VOXLS 30 Series of X-ray and CT systems is equally at home in the R&D laboratory as it is on the production line and can utilize automated robotics and industry 4.0 integrations. The system is built for repeatability and reliability through the metrology-grade, granite-based manipulator, and rigid steel towers.
Three Source Options
Nikon’s VOXLS 30 C 225, 30 C 320 and 30 C 450 models have maximum source energies of 225 kV, 320 kV and 450 kV respectively for examining parts of various densities and sizes. By offering a selection of thoughtfully designed sources, Nikon empowers manufacturers to configure the optimal inspection system for their quality control needs. The flexible 30 Series scales to meet current and future requirements across diverse industries and sample types.
Motorized FID
In traditional X-ray CT systems, the Focus to Image Distance (FID) is either fixed or manually adjustable. However, the VOXLS 30 Series has motorized FID, allowing effortless adjustment of the distance between the X-ray source and detector with sub-millimeter precision. Reducing the FID provides dramatically greater X-ray photon flux, significantly faster scan times and increased signal-to-noise ratio for enhanced image quality.
Scan Envelope Enhancements
The VOXLS 30 Series can scan larger and more irregular-shaped parts thanks to Nikon’s wide range of scan envelope enhancement acquisition modes. These include X.Tend Helical CT, Panel Shift and Pixel Split CT, which are typically only available or compatible with larger X-ray CT systems.
Metrology Grade Manipulator
At the core of the VOXLS 30 Series systems is a metrology-grade, granite-based manipulator coupled with rigid steel towers, high-precision motors and linear encoders. The resulting construction provides superior mechanical and thermal stability, leading to more accurate manipulator positioning and hence the generation of highly precise, repeatable measurement data throughout the full scan volume.
Unrivaled Visibility
All VOXLS 30 Series systems come with a 1.3-meter-tall glass outer door with manipulator interlock, which gives the operator unrivaled visibility into the enclosure for precise and confident positioning of the scan object. This removes the need for light curtains and minimizes the risk of sample collision with the X-ray sources and detectors. Two internal video cameras provide an excellent view even with the inner radiation safety doors shut and X-rays on.
Automation Ready
The VOXLS 30 Series enables automated, high-speed CT inspection ready for Quality 4.0 production. Robotics allow automated part loading/unloading while rapid transfer doors facilitate efficient workflows. When combined with Nikon’s Automation OPC UA Interface, the VOXLS 30 Series integrates robotic automation for repeatable, operator-independent results.
Innovation and Quality in Every Environment
The VOXLS 30 Series delivers cutting-edge X-ray and CT scanning for production and research across a broad range of industries, providing the flexibility and image quality needed to inspect everything from intricate electronics to castings. Whether on the production line or in the lab, the VOXLS 30 Series’ automation-ready design ensures efficiency and reliability. Ideal for manufacturers in the automotive industry, aerospace, metals, medical devices, and more, the VOXLS 30 Series helps diverse industries innovate and maintain quality standards.
