External Gun

The Most Advanced External EB Welding Gun on the Market

Sciaky's external electron beam welding gun is the most advanced external EB welding gun on the market today.

The triode-designed 60kV external gun is manually adjustable within +/- 3 inches in the X direction, significantly improving narrow beam geometry. The gun's cantilever configuration makes filament replacement quick and easy. A direct-mounted turbomolecular pump, with an isolation valve, maintains the gun's vacuum at better than 1 x 10-4 Torr for superior performance. A high resolution CCD camera and monitor offer controls for optical focus, zoom, shutter, iris and an adjustable cross-hair for beam targeting. The gun column is constructed of stainless steel and utilizes internal coils for beam focusing and deflection.

Total Process Control

Sciaky's W2020 Computer Control provides total control over process parameters with +/- 1% accuracy and facilitates up to 6 axes of motion control. Capabilities include process monitoring with data acquisition, networking and off-line programming.

Intuitive Operator Interface

Sciaky's operator interface is configured for all routine programming, file manipulation and operative process control functions. Additional virtual hardware allows the beam supply to be enabled and provides chamber vacuum control, video control and deflection monitoring. A separate portable pendant can be provided for parameter display, program control, critical parameters override and mechanical axes jogging.
