If you have a new idea for an EBeam Process, the easiest way to see what will happen is to just try it out. If a process will need coatings, adhesives or any other sort of chemistry, trials are a good opportunity to interact with suppliers: you can establish the required dose and voltage settings for the curing of the product.
Trials may be done initially on a lab-scale unit that can handle small sheet samples. The EBLab 200 is an ideal solution for starting trials.
Electron beams come in all shapes and sizes, and there are a few criteria used to select which design will work for your process. Dose and accelerating voltage ranges are key parameters for determining the power supply size and the electron beam type. EBeam creates x-rays as a byproduct and are shielded to attenuate these x-rays to safe levels. The higher the accelerating voltage, the thicker the shielding required. Material handling is also an important consideration : the majority of electron beam units are designed for continuous web, but Ebeam for sheetfed and other more specialized processes also exist.
