Sciaky's VX-300 electron beam welding chamber is among the largest EB contract welding service facilities in the U.S. The electron beam welding machine can accommodate large parts and uses high-powered EB welding guns up to 42kW. The combination of Sciaky’s precision, CNC-controlled welders and the expertise of our technical staff allows us to work with our customers to solve difficult welding problems!
Sciaky's more than 60 years of experience in the design and production of advanced welding systems has given us a unique insight into the needs of the industries that we serve. Many projects and programs that might benefit in quality, cost, and delivery from the use of advanced automated welding techniques -- such as Electron Beam (EB) welding -- do not take advantage of these processes due to limitations in capital funds, project duration, or lot size. Sciaky has moved to fill this need by making available the largest and most advanced electron beam (EB) welding services facility on a contract basis.
VX-300 Electron Beam Welder Hard Vacuum (5 x 10-6 torr) 42 kW- 60 kV Gun with Optics CNC Control - Joint Scanning and Digitizing System Work Envelope - 248" x 70" x 54" Chamber Interior Dimensions - 300" x 108" x 132"
(Includes Wire feed system)
We also provide a full range of manufacturing capabilities for part preparation, fixture design and building, pre- and post-weld machining, all under one roof. Additional operations such as heat-treating and Non-Destructive Testing can be carried out under Sciaky supervision. This allows us to provide a full range of options, from EB welding to complete part production.
Projects can be of any size, from pilot production runs requiring quick turnaround to multi-year production programs. We are constantly adding to and upgrading our facilities. The following list of equipment describes some of the units present in our contract welding services facility:
