The University of Bayreuth intends to procure a desktop computer tomography that will be suitable for use in the field of battery research with a focus on Li-ion batteries.

A desktop computed tomography (CT) scanner is required, which should be suitable for use in the field of battery research with a focus on Li-ion batteries. The device should be suitable for non-destructive testing of the electrode arrangement (number and winding of the electrodes) and false detection (cracks, kinks or gas inclusions and change in the thickness of the electrode layers) in the battery cell as well as for the determination of dimensions of the battery cell and the components contained therein. The CT system also requires software for CT control, 3D reconstruction and evaluation of the generated CT volume data (voxel data). In addition, data analysis and device control using third-party software (e.g. Matlab, Python) should also be possible. The detailed technical requirements are listed below.
