Air-Servo Microfocus X-Ray CT System

For Understanding the Complicated Localized R&D
Phenomena of Materials

By combining the Air-Servo Mini pneumatic dynamic and fatigue testing system with
an X-ray CT system, it becomes possible to observe crack propagation
three-dimensionally and obtain 3D crack data. This 5 kg weight compact fatigue testing Shimadzu Microfocus X-Ray CT System
machine is capable of tensile and compression test loads up to 1 kN.
