(Nikon: Tokyo) -- Nikon Corp. is pleased to announce the launch of the large-volume high-performance X-ray and CT Systems VOXLS 40 C 450. This product realizes nondestructive inspection of various large and small components by using X-ray and CT (computed tomography scan) to implement high-accuracy measurement, confirmation of internal shapes, and defect analysis. It supports innovative manufacturing such as the production of lithium-ion battery individual cells and modules of electric vehicles, for which demand is expected to increase, in addition to automotive and aerospace parts.

Nikon has decided to use VOXLS (Volumetric X-ray Leading Solutions) as the unified brand name for its X-ray and CT Systems. VOXLS 40 C 450 will be the first product using the new brand name.

VOXLS 40 C 450 has been jointly developed by Nikon and Avonix Imaging LLC (Jeffrey Diehm and Brian Ruether, co-managing directors, Avonix), which is involved in the production, sales, and services of X-ray and CT Systems. All of its shares are to be acquired by one of Nikon’s U.S. subsidiaries. Production for Asia is undertaken by Sendai Nikon Corp. (Masaki Hashimoto, president), a subsidiary of Nikon.
