1 XT H 225 Industrial X-ray and Computed Tomography nikon metrology I vision beyond precision

2 Get the inside picture of complex industrial parts, by literally looking into the internal structure. Then use CT capability to qualify and quantify any inner or outer dimension, all in a smooth, non-destructive process. The Nikon Metrology industrial X-ray and CT inspection system is a flexible solution that facilitates the detection of material defects porosity, cracks and inclusions as well as assembly and interconnectivity issues. It is the ideal solution to perform first-part inspection and process control across diverse manufacturing industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, pharmaceutical and plastics. At A Glance Flexibility combined in a single system: X-ray for quick visual inspection, CT for in-depth analysis High quality images in a short time Fast operation with interactive joystick navigation High-resolution digital imaging and processing Safe system that does not require special precautions or badges Small footprint for easy installation

3 Industrial X-ray and CT inspection Insight into the inside X-ray concept X-ray technology provides a detailed view inside parts. The radiation is generated by a micro-focus source and transmitted through the sample. A digital flat panel detector is used to capture patterns of X-rays that pass through a specimen, showing different shades of gray depending on material and geometry. Thicker or denser material such as iron, copper and lead lead to darker areas than thin or light materials such as plastic, paper or air. Moving the sample closer to the X-ray source increases the magnification of the resulting image As the component is rotated around its axis while taking X-ray images, a full 3D CT volume is generated. X-ray: Different materials create distinctive radiation patterns Computed Tomography (CT) 2mm CT offers that extra dimension to X-ray technology. Based on a large number of X-ray images captured around a single axis of rotation, CT reconstructs an accurate 3D volume dataset that represents the internal structure of your sample. Viewed as slices in any orientation or as a 3D scene, the inner part is visualized and enables you to explore all the details of the object. CT scanning allows you to: Verify complex internal structures Isolate and inspect included components Measure dimensions without sectioning the sample Automatically detect and measure internal voids/volumes Strip external surfaces from view with ease CT reconstruction and analysis of a diesel injector component 3
