Precision electron gun
Alignment designed into the assembly.
Dymenso combines electrical, thermal, and mechanical analysis with detailed design and fabrication for high-performance electron guns.
Patented PGUN technology
Precision without assembly clearance.
Conventional electron gun assemblies require clearance between mating parts. That clearance supports assembly, but it also limits how precisely the beam-forming elements can be positioned.
PGUN replaces clearance-dependent alignment with kinematic couplings. Each interface makes contact at the number of points needed to restrain its degrees of freedom, producing a deterministic location for the gun elements.
Beam-forming elements seat against defined contact points.
Alignment does not depend on uncontrolled gaps between mating parts.
Analysis, mechanical design, fabrication, and inspection stay connected.
Verification
Thermal behavior and geometry checked in hardware.
Vacuum testing and dimensional inspection provide complementary evidence that the gun performs as designed and that critical geometry is maintained through fabrication.
Vacuum thermal evaluation
Heated multiple-beam gun hardware evaluated in a vacuum test chamber.
W-band amplifier gun

Dimensional verification
CMM inspection and manual verification support quality and beam performance during fabrication.
