Applications of 60kV Systems

Applications of 60kV Systems

Introduction

CVE’s 60kV electron beam welding machine range is ideal for welding small-to-medium-sized components at high efficiency.

 

60kV machines are suitable for all metals including those with high thermal conductivity, such as:

  • Steel and stainless steel
  • Aluminium and its alloys
  • Nickel alloys and refractory metals
  • Titanium and its alloys
  • Zr, Mo, Ta, Hf, W, Nb, etc.

 

The low heat input means that sensitive internal electronics packages may be sealed in the device without harm.

Machine Types

CVE have two 60kV machine types, ECO and CW.

The ECO model has a modular, flexible design to enhance production capabilities. The ECO is ideal for welding small-to-medium-sized components, with a small footprint and high-efficiency.

The CW model has a modular, flexible design to enhance production capabilities. The CW is ideal for the welding of medium-sized components and is suitable for thermally conductive materials.
