In a production environment where a fast solution to a problem is essential, internal material defects, complicated assemblies and hidden geometries can all be too complex and time consuming for manufacturers’ in-house inspection capabilities. In research and development, traditional methods of cutting and slicing parts to analyse internal structure add time and expense to the prototyping process, due to their destructive nature.

If you are a manufacturer of components or assemblies incorporating plastics, metals, ceramics, electronic components or any combination of these, Nikon Metrology has in-house Inspection centers to perform X-ray and CT contract inspection services for new or existing clients.

Benefits of Nikon Metrology X-ray & CT services:

• Over 30 years expertise in X-ray CT
• Fully equipped laboratories featuring 160-450 kV micro CT systems
• In case your in-house CT capacity is limited or not adequate for specific projects, rely on Nikon CT service capability
• Small one-off projects to large batch inspections
• Customer-tailored reports and project discussion
• Controlled project costs instead of investment in own CT facilities
• Short turnaround times

What Nikon Metrology CT technology offers:

• Microfocus sources reveal smallest details
• Unique high-flux rotating targets for fast scan times
• Wide range of systems for scanning small parts to large assemblies
• Range of applications from organic to industrial
• Non-destructive analysis preserves (expensive) samples
• Material analysis, assembly evaluation and metrology CT (compare to CAD, GD&T)
• Measure internal and external dimensions simultaneously

The Nikon Metrology in-house inspection facilities support aerospace, automotive, Formula 1, telecoms, pharmaceutical industries and many more. Samples examined range from the latest hi-tech microchip to a 65million-year-old dinosaur egg. The possibilities are endless…
