Electron beam welding complex SEO-TECH STATION

Electron-beam welding complex is designed for single-pass welding in vacuum along the trajectories of various configurations of metals, different in hardness and chemical composition.

The use of electron beam welding provides welding:

  • steel thickness up to 65 mm;
  • titanium and its alloys up to 70 mm thick;
  • aluminum and its alloys up to 80 mm thick,

and also local heat treatment and fusing.

The complex provides:

  • manual and automated control of the vacuum system
  • welding in manual and automatic mode according to the specified technological program
  • display on the screen of the monitor of the surface of the welded product and the precise guidance of the electron beam on the joint
  • diagnostics of the functioning of the main systems of the complex

Electron Beam Gun SEO-GUN

Electron-beam guns SEO-Gun are designed for operation with accelerating voltage up to 60 kV and maximum power of 60 kW.

Guns have two versions: for installation outside the chamber (complete with a slider for the anode block) and for installation inside the camera.

To ensure a working vacuum in the cathode area, the guns are equipped with a turbomolecular pump.

SEO-TECH

Control system SEO-Beam Control

The system provides in automated or manual mode control and monitoring of all hardware parameters.

SEO-TECH

Vacuum chamber

Vacuum chamber, providing the installation in it of manipulators of the movement of the part / gun, auxiliary equipment and elements of the vacuum system. The camera has a frame structure and is assembled according to the customer's specification for specific technological processes.

Vacuum system

Provides maintenance of working vacuum in the chamber and the anode block of the gun. For evacuation of the chamber, the system can be equipped with a turbomolecular or diffusion pump with a capacity corresponding to the volume of the chamber.

For pumping out the gun, the latter is equipped with a gate (when working outside the chamber) and a turbomolecular pump to pump the anode space. Control is provided by the automated control system of vacuum SEO-VAC Control.

Digital Pointing System SEO-DISS EBW

Provides the output of the weld image on the monitor of the control computer and ensures accurate beam guidance to the joint of the welded seam.

SEO-TECH

Video surveillance system SEO-SCAN

Provides viewing of the "detail-gun" zone, the working volume of the camera, observation of the welding process.

SEO TECH Control Software

It is intended for automated and manual control of electron-welding equipment of all types and modifications. Functionally, the program provides the inclusion of equipment, the ability to control all systems and elements of equipment in manual mode, the indication of all hardware parameters and the operation of automated control of the modes of equipment. The program has the ability to reprogram the operating modes and create individual working files, can be used in the modernization of old old electronic welding equipment and the manufacture of new models.
