Nikon's adaptable microfocus CT systems, distributed by NM3D Ibérica, provide high-resolution inspection of components, from small plastic connectors to aluminium castings. These systems are ideal for research and development activities, failure analysis and quality control in production environments.
Context and challenge
The XT H range combines the flexibility required in laboratory settings with advanced functionalities such as 225 kV Rotating.Target 2.0, Half.Turn CT acquisition mode and Auto.Filament Control. These technologies contribute to shorter cycle times and greater system availability, especially in serial inspection contexts on the shop floor.
The solution or technology
Operational flexibility - Thanks to the choice between different sources, targets, CT scanning strategies and options such as motorised adjustment of the source-to-detector distance, XT H systems are extremely versatile, effectively responding to a wide range of inspection requirements.
X.Tend Helical CT - Enables scanning of tall objects in a single continuous acquisition, eliminating typical cone beam artefacts and multi-scan stitching. This approach also offers the advantage of performing inspections at higher magnifications, resulting in significantly superior resolutions.
225 kV Rotating.Target 2.0 - This exclusive technology enables continuous operation up to 450W, with up to three times higher resolution for the same power — or three times faster acquisition times for equivalent resolution.
