Currently, in the electronics, automotive, and semiconductor industries, automation and precision are essential for improving efficiency and quality. In this regard, NM3D Ibérica highlights Nikon Metrology’s NEXIV line.
Innovative solutions that have transformed manufacturing and inspection processes. These technologies provide companies with the opportunity to optimise workflows and enhance production standards.
Advantages of NEXIV Solutions
Nikon Metrology's NEXIV technologies combine automation with cutting-edge precision, providing essential benefits to enhance production and quality control processes:
- Increase in Speed and Precision: The VMZ-S series reduces measurement time by up to 34%, speeding up production without compromising precision, thus minimising errors and improving quality.
- Optimisation of Human Resources: Automating repetitive tasks allows teams to focus on more complex activities, increasing efficiency and accelerating new product development.
- Consistent Quality Control: NEXIV solutions ensure submicron measurements, ensuring products meet stringent quality standards, especially in the semiconductor industry, where every detail is crucial to ensuring product excellence and customer satisfaction.
The NEXIV Solution in the Semiconductor Sector
With the miniaturisation of semiconductors, Nikon developed the NEXIV VMZ-NWL 200, an automated system that enhances the measurement of 6 and 8-inch wafers. This system not only automates the measurements but also improves traceability and reduces dependence on specialised technicians, with an intuitive interface that simplifies chip measurement, increasing efficiency and reliability in semiconductor production.
Additionally, the NEXIV VMZ-NWL 200 integrates with automatic wafer loaders, ensuring precise and efficient transfer to the measurement system, eliminating manual handling. This automation accelerates production and minimizes errors and waste, which are critical in the manufacturing process.

Integration with Collaborative Robots
Another advantage of NEXIV solutions is the integration with collaborative robots ("cobots"), which perform repetitive and heavy tasks such as handling parts and moving components. These cobots increase production efficiency while ensuring the safety of the team. Additionally, they perform activities like QR code scanning, program identification, and accessory loading, making the production process more automated and seamless.
