X-ray inspection system VOXLS 30 C series

3Dcomputed tomographyCT

Overview Nikon VOXLS 30 Series X-ray and CT inspection systems provide metrology-grade mechanical stability in a production-capable footprint. Available with 225 kV, 320 kV and 450 kV source options, the series covers inspections from low- to high-density materials and supports laboratory and automated production workflows.

Main capabilities

• Automation-ready: autoloading/robotic integration, rapid transfer doors and Nikon Automation OPC UA Interface for shop-floor connectivity and repeatable, operator-independent inspections.
• Multiple source options: 225 kV, 320 kV and 450 kV configurations (microfocus rotating or reflection targets depending on model) to match penetration to part size and density.
• Metrology-grade mechanics: granite-based manipulator, rigid steel towers, precision motors and linear encoders for mechanical and thermal stability and repeatable measurement results.
• Motorised Focus-to-Imager Distance (FID): sub-millimetre adjustment to optimise photon flux, magnification and scan times.
• Operator visibility and safety: 1.3 m glass outer door with manipulator interlock and internal cameras for confident sample positioning with protected doors closed.

Scan envelope & resolution enhancements

• Advanced acquisition modes (X.Tend Helical CT, Panel Shift, Pixel Split CT, Offset.CT) to scan taller, wider or irregular parts and to increase effective resolution where needed.
• Panel Shift and Offset.CT enable scanning objects wider than the detector or achieving higher resolution on wide parts.
• X.Tend Helical CT allows tall objects to be scanned in a single acquisition, reducing cone-beam and stitching artefacts.

Core features / highlights

• Three model options: VOXLS 30 C 225 / 30 C 320 / 30 C 450 with source energies 225/320/450 kV.
• 225 kV Rotating.Target 2.0 option for increased power density and faster scans with improved SNR; advanced cooling for sustained high-power operation.
• Motorised FID for technique development and optimisation of flux and magnification.
• Granite manipulator and precision encoders for metrology-grade repeatability and accuracy.
• Automation interfaces and rapid transfer doors for high-throughput production integration.

Industry applications

• Automotive: engine castings, electronics, steering components.
• Batteries: cell-to-pack inspection and failure analysis.
• Aerospace & defence: trend analysis and standards-compliant inspection workflows.
• Metals & additive manufacturing: porosity, defect detection and dimensional control.
• Medical devices: high‑precision inspection for regulated components.
• Electronics: BGA inspection, bond-wire cracks, multilayer PCB analysis.
• Research & academia: materials, fossils, core samples and life‑sciences imaging.
