Nikon XT H 320 for X-ray and CT Inspection of Larger Samples - X-ray and CT Systems - Measuring

XT H 320 for X-ray and CT inspection of larger samples

The XT H 320 features a more powerful microfocus X-ray source that is able to run highly accurate inspection on dense industrial objects. Nikon Metrology is the only company to produce 320kV microfocus X-ray sources. As the X-ray spot size of these sources is orders of magnitude smaller compared to minifocus sources, end users benefit from superior resolution, accuracy and a wider array of measurable parts.

With the optional rotation reflection target, an even higher X-ray flux is available enabling customers to obtain faster CT data acquisition or achieve higher CT data accuracy in the same time span.

Straightforward inspection automation
Safety first

Superior Accuracy and Performance Through Proprietary 225 or 320KV Micro-focus X-ray Source

The default 225kV microfocus source is equipped with a reflection target, offering a 3 micron spot size. With the optional transmission target, you obtain an even smaller spot size and higher magnification capability.

The 320kV microfocus source is used to penetrate through larger or denser samples.

Regardless of the target of choice, the XT H LC system uses an open-tube X-ray source that guarantees a lower cost-of-ownership

Rotating Reflection Target Multiplies X-ray Flux

Traditional X-ray sources using fixed targets can only receive a limited flux of electrons to avoid damaging the target. By introducing a rotating reflection target that yields much better cooling performance, the electron flux on the rotating target radically increases without the risk for permanent damage. This boosts X-ray flux by a large factor, and enables customers to obtain faster CT data acquisition or achieve higher CT data accuracy in the same time span. By establishing up to 5 times more X-ray flux, customers can either speed up data acquisition by a similar factor or increase data accuracy by taking more radiographs in the same time.

Stunning Images From Internal Structures

A small spot size and a high-resolution flat panel create sharp images.

Adapt resolution to your needs: full part in coarse resolution and high
resolution in a desired region of interest.

Easy Access To Inspect Larger Parts

The XT H LC systems feature a large access door and the heavy duty precision 5-axis manipulator can hold samples in excess of 50kg with dimensions of 0.6m (H) x 0.6m (D).

Safety First

Full protective enclosure – compliant to CE and DIN 54113 radiation safety standards – requires no special badges or protective clothing. Continuous fail-to-safe monitoring during system operation. Radiation shielding is to better than 1µSv/hour external, and dual fail-safe switches/relays ensure safe operation

Configure The System To Your Specific Needs

Specific applications require more detailed images or higher accuracy. XT H 320 can be configured with different flat panels (Varian, Perkin Elmer) or source configuration (reflection/ transmission target) to make the system ideally suited for your needs.
