Single Pocket and Ultra-High Vacuum Electron Beam Gun

Temescal’s single-crucible guns provide adjustable beam spot size, beam sweep capability, an easily replaced emitter and filament, a wide range of crucible capacities, and flush pole-piece design to minimize evaporant buildup. Water cooling of the crucible creates a solid evaporant layer at the crucible-evaporant interface, preventing contamination of the evaporant by the crucible’s copper.

Mounting

Standard Vacuum

  • SFIH-270-1, 10kW max power

  • UHVC-270-3, 20kW max power
  • Uniform, efficient evaporation
  • High reliability plus easy maintenance
  • Adjustable beam sport size
  • 270°, permanent-magnet deflection
  • Longitudinal and lateral beam-sweep capability when operated with a sweep controller
  • Flush pole-piece design minimizes evaporant build-up on source and facilitates loading of chunk materials
  • Gun body made of water-cooled copper for maximum heat transfer rates
  • Wire-feed capability for extended evaporant inventory
  • Hopper-type crucible design, conical, with a flat bottom
  • Plug-in emitter assembly facilitates filament replacement
