X-ray and computed tomography system
08/07/2026
Nikon Corporation (Nikon) has launched the VOXLS 20 C 225, the latest addition to its VOXLS X-ray computed tomography (CT) product line-up. This system is based on the proven principles of the company’s VOXLS 30 and 40 Series systems while offering maximum capability in a space-efficient footprint, providing unparalleled value per voxel in the market, it is claimed.The VOXLS 20 C 225 offers the largest CT scanning envelope in a system that fits through a standard double door, allowing for flexible integration to almost any quality control laboratories and production environments.
The new system features Nikon’s metrology-grade platform with a granite base, rigid steel manipulator towers and high-accuracy encoders and motors. These engineering choices ensure the precision, repeatability and reliability that the Nikon brand is known for while delivering exceptional X-ray and CT data quality.

A superior CT inspection envelope offers what is claimed to be an industry-leading inspection volume of 555 mm (diameter) × 759 mm (height) in a compact footprint of just 2451 mm (length) × 1173 mm (depth).
It features a motorised dual-source set-up with a 225 kV reflection target and 160 kV transmission target, allowing users to choose the optimal source for their application at the push of a button. This enables automated and fast switchover between the reflection target (for higher productivity due to increased X-ray flux) and transmission target (for achieving the best possible resolution).
Source optimisation de-skills the process of setting up the filament for optimal performance, simplifies the filament change process and provides longer filament lifetime. Enhanced usability incorporates features such as Filter Changer, a motorised door that opens in under four seconds and a large viewing window for excellent interior visibility.
Motorised focus to imager distance (FID) is supported and advanced scan modes, including Panel Shift CT, Tilted CT and Pixel Split CT, enable a wide range of inspection techniques for diverse applications.
The first Nikon VOXLS 20 C 225 systems are scheduled for delivery this autumn and will serve industries including electronics, additive manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and medical devices.
Designed as a long-term investment, the VOXLS 20 C 225 is ready to adapt to the evolving needs of a high-end manufacturing business. Whether in the laboratory or on the production floor, Nikon’s new X-ray CT system is equipped with thoughtful technology for increased throughput and is upgradable with a range of automated and robotic inspection solutions using Nikon Automation with OPC UA Interface.
