Thermal and Battery testing
CactuX in-situ solutions enable high-quality simulation of real-life operating conditions during CT analysis, supporting advanced material and component research. Our systems integrate precise thermal control, power supply, and mechanical loading.
The In-situ BOX enables realistic simulation of real-life sample conditions during CT scanning, opening new possibilities for material behavior and internal structure research. Designed specifically for CT workflows, it fits directly into the CT cabinet, supports full 360° rotation, and features a compact design with simple external control – ensuring seamless integration into advanced in-situ CT experiments.
