- Fully Digital Operation with Internal Storage up to 64 User-Defined Sweep Patterns
Fully Digital Operation with Internal Storage up to 64 User-Defined Sweep Patterns
The Temescal SuperSweep64 beam sweep controller offers fully digital operation, internal storage for up to 64 user-defined sweep patterns, and compatibility with almost any commercially available e-beam gun. Digital programmability means that arbitrary sweep patterns can be designed to address, dwell at, or avoid any of 1024 discrete points. With its Windows™ based programming software and hand-held controller, the SS64 offers the precision and flexibility required in the most demanding e-beam PVD processes.
Available Options:
- Universal Rack-Mount Kit
- Cabling Kit
Waveform Design Screen Displaying Lissajous and Dwell Patterns
Technology
The SS64 provides proprietary Windows-based software for waveform design and modification. This software enables the user to simulate any waveform on a PC.
- Operates with virtually any e-beam gun
- Proprietary Windows-based software enables user to design custom waveforms or modify existing sweep patterns
- Windows interface also allows waveform simulation on a PC and control/monitoring of the SS64 by a PC
- Hand-held remote controller enables user to design waveforms while watching the actual beam sweep
- Five available waveforms: sine, saw-tooth, triangular, clipped, and arbitrary.
- Sweep patterns address 1024 discrete points
- Patterns can be designed to dwell at or avoid specific points
- Sweeper’s memory stores up to 64 patterns; an unlimited number can be stored on computer media
- Built-in noise suppression protects unit from transients generated by process arcing
- Improved shielding provides enhanced protection against EMI and RMI
- User-adjustable lateral and longitudinal position limits
