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.
