Hyundai Boosts Vehicle Safety with Nikon's Advanced X-ray CT System

Nikon Metrology and Hyundai Motor North America have joined forces, driven by their shared dedication to top-tier engineering and manufacturing. Hyundai has invested in Nikon's cutting-edge X-ray computed tomography (CT scan) system for its new $51.4 million Safety Test and Investigation Laboratory (STIL) in Michigan.

Chris Peitsch, President of Nikon Metrology, oversees the production of these advanced X-ray CT scan systems. The chosen system boasts a generous scanning volume, adaptable multi-source configuration, dual-detector functionality, and numerous enhancements for superior inspection capabilities.

Hyundai employs this technology to scrutinize components in its acclaimed vehicles, ensuring quality, safety, and functionality through swift, efficient, and accurate nondestructive measurements. The system's versatility allows Hyundai to examine a wide range of components, from air bag inflators and lock mechanisms to seat switches, struts, impellers, and additive parts at its STIL facility.

Nikon's X-ray CT scan system is designed to tackle complex inspection tasks, offering a multi-tube, multi-detector setup for flexible and high-quality results on diverse components. Moreover, it provides Hyundai with comprehensive data points, expediting analysis that would otherwise take weeks.

Hyundai's purchase and installation of Nikon's X-ray CT scan system at its STIL facility underscores its commitment to rigorous safety testing and quality assurance. The advanced technology offers Hyundai faster, more efficient component analysis, ultimately enhancing the safety and reliability of its vehicles.
