Nical

NICAL S.p.A., started in 1965, with the production of our first CCTV camera and black and white monitor for video surveillance systems. In subsequent years, the rapid development of systems that use an X-ray Image Intensifier I.I., brings the company's managment to invest in research and production of the first Vidicon cameras intefaced to this new fluoroscopic x-ray modality. These cameras increased video resolution while lowering patient x-ray dosage at the same time. The Seventies start with great success of the product line and Nical increasingly invests in research and development. Working with a leading Italian company in baggage control a new Film Safe system made its debut. The mid-seventies brings NICAL to expands its activities in the industrial sector with the design and manufacture of the products for broadcast television. TV studio color cameras and monitors, video mixers and telecine were furnished to all the major national and private TV networks. In 1975 Nical produced its first medical digital subtraction imaging device using our NXT high resolution tube camera. Nical in the early eighties, with its technology, contributed significantly to the advanced development of television broadcasting equipment while at the same time continuing its research and development in the medical field. Its laboratories realize during this period new NDT systems for industrial inspection. Applications of our cameras include; high speed testing of cast wheel rims for defects, inspection of baby foods for foreign objects, and circuit board inspection are just a few examples of Nical's x-ray camera system at work. During the early ninties the first CCD sensors for cameras were introduced. Gradually this solid state techology replaced the outdated Vidicon vacuum tube. Nical today is the world's leading manufacturer of fluoroscopic CCD cameras offering low and high resolution systems. Our line of LCD monitors were introduced. Markets in Europe and USA offer new business opportunities. Since the millennium, after obtaining the quality certification ISO 9001 and ISO 46001, Nical continues to win the Asian market and continue its research in new technologies.
