User-Friendly
Source Optimisation

Source Optimisation is a multifunctional innovation used to ensure peak performance of the source filament by streamlining the process of filament replacement, setup and ongoing optimisation. The tool results in improved source performance, longer filament life, and reduces operational stress, allowing users to focus on meeting their productivity and department goals.

User-Friendly
Operator-Focused Design

All VOXLS 20 Series systems prioritise user convenience and efficiency. A large viewing window ensures confident sample positioning, while the motorised door opens in under 4 seconds to minimise wait times and enhance workflow. Features like the Filter Changer and Source Optimisation further simplify operation and maintenance, enabling a highly efficient and satisfying experience.

Premium Data Quality
Metrology-Grade Manipulator

At the core of VOXLS 20 Series systems is a metrology-grade, granite-based manipulator coupled with rigid steel towers, and high-precision encoders and motors. The robust construction provides superior mechanical and thermal stability, enabling more accurate, precise, and repeatable data collection. This gives users greater confidence when making product design or quality control decisions.

Productive
Automation Ready

Increase technician efficiency with easy-to-use and operator independent Scan Profiles and Batch Scanning functions. Alternatively, use the Autoloader or robotic loading with Nikon Automation OPC UA interface for autonomous inspection and maximum efficiency in a production environment.
