Description
It is a fine focused electron beam system, enabling EB surface treatment, welding or drilling, with up to 60 keV accelerating voltage and 2kW Electron beam welder with a 2kW electron gun, imaging and processing optics and a micro-resolution computer numeric control sample positioning system. To support the printing, joining and cladding of thin-section components activity. This system is unique to the UK as there are no capabilities currently in the low power range (0.2-2 kW).
Uses / Applications
Precision electron beam welding, surface modifications and micro drilling of small metallic components. Thermocouples can be inserted into the chamber using additional feedthrough port.
