Nikon releases versatile large-volume X-ray CT system, VOXLS 40 C 450, ideally suited for lithium-ion battery module inspection.
The VOXLS 40 C 450 comprises a single-piece cabinet housing a metrology-grade, granite-based manipulator coupled with dual X-ray source and dual detector functionality, that offers the largest scan envelope for a single-piece cabinet system on the market. The system contains two microfocus X-ray sources that are manufactured exclusively by Nikon. One source is rated at 450 kV for penetrating large or dense parts, while the other is 225 kV for examining smaller components or those of lower density.
This large-volume new X-ray CT system is able to inspect items of diverse size and density, internally and externally, allowing it to perform virtually limitless tasks within industry, inspection bureaux and academia. Whether it is a lithium-ion battery module or the cells it contains, an additively manufactured aerospace or automotive part, or carbon fibre chassis components for a Formula 1 race car, all will benefit from non-destructive inspection.
It is also equally well suited to the inspection of small parts at high resolution, making the equipment a truly multi-purpose resource for R&D, failure analysis, first article inspection and quality control.
Completely redesigned with automation in mind
When combined with the integration of a robotic loader and the Nikon Automation OPC UA Interface, the system is automation-ready for closed-loop inspection at high speed in a Quality 4.0 production line environment.
The highly versatile VOXLS 40 C 450 is also the first system in an innovative range of high-performance X-ray CT systems offering enhanced levels of precision, resolution and scan speed. It will be swiftly followed by additional new models that are more compact in size but of similar construction, housing the same metrology-grade manipulator concept, Nikon’s unique microfocus X-ray source technology and its extensive range of CT acquisition modes. Stay tuned!
The VOXLS 40 C 450 brings exceptional scan volume, resolution and speed to your inspection applications, with unparalleled image quality and repeatability of results
