X-Ray CT Inspection Services
Nikon Metrology X-ray & CT inspection services help you to focus on what matters to you, delivering high quality products in the shortest time possible.
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.

In House Inspection Facility
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…
Results may be supplied as easy-to-interpret reports, with still images, (tiff or jpeg) avi, or complete data sets. Short training sessions are also available enabling customers to operate the X-ray or CT systems independently and carry out their own inspection at the X-ray and CT competence centers.
Request Inspection
Inspecting the outside of components is relatively straightforward, but the interior is another matter. It is nearly impossible to collect data without sectioning and destroying the item under investigation unless X-rays are used to penetrate it and reveal hidden features. However, manufacturers struggle to justify investing in an industrial X-ray system and CT reconstruction software if there is only an intermittent requirement. Nikon Metrology can deliver a solution by providing a contract X-ray CT inspection service. Whether it involves measuring the internals of an additively manufactured plastic part or spotting a crack propagating in a dense metal casting, we will be able to give you insight into the inside.
