Advanced Design Experimentation & Processing
PMI’s demountable chamber is an advanced method of performing x-ray source design experiments and high-vacuum parts processing, providing design validation, shorter design-to-manufacture cycles and reduced development costs. Operational features include:
- 140kVDC operation
- Evaluation of cathode beam optics/focal spot size control
- Grid control electron beam modulation
- Measure x-ray output conventional target vs. PMI-patented V-notch
- Measure beam size/filtration
- Experimentation capability of heat removal and thermal measurement
- Rotating bearing/stator drive experimentation
- Multiple x-ray source experimentation
- Process and outgas x-ray target assemblies
- Life test bearing systems.
