Nikon’s large-envelope system range combines metrology grade, granite-based manipulator construction with a large scanning volume, multi-source flexibility, dual detector functionality and an extensive range of CT acquisition modes, enabling them to excel in any inspection environment, from R&D labs to the shop floor.
When combined with an integrated robotic loader and the Nikon Automation OPC UA Interface, our large envelope systems are automation ready for closed-loop inspection at high speed in a Quality 4.0 production line environment.
A choice of industry-leading, flat panel detectors with small pixel sizes and fast exposures, combined with Nikon’s unique CLDA, enables high-throughput CT and DR for all part types, plus advanced scatter correction for high-density parts.
With 8 different X-ray sources, 7 detectors, 3 granite base lengths and 2 manipulator constructions to choose from, housed in either a single-piece cabinet, panelised room or pre-existing shielded enclosure, you’ll find a system configuration to match your requirements.
With up to 4-position panel shift and synchronous Y-axis source and detector movement, the maximum available scanning envelope can accommodate samples up to 1000 mm swept diameter and over 1500 mm tall.
Our granite-based manipulators are combined with rigid towers and precision motors and encoders. The resulting construction ensures superior mechanical and thermal stability, leading to enhanced positional accuracy and repeatability.
Select up to 3 X-ray sources from Nikon’s extensive microfocus range to ensure you have the optimum combination of penetrative power, resolution and scan speed for all your applications.
