Hanks HM2 Hydra e-Gun™ Hanks HM2 Hydra e-Gun The Hydra design consists of a compact array of crucibles and electron emitters which translate linearly with respect to each other to provide for the co-deposition of up to six different materials simultaneously. By the efficient utilization of space, four different combinations of six crucibles or up to forty-two permutations of two-metal combinations are available for co-deposition in a single vacuum pumpdown. Innovative technology and a creative approach to magnetic field concepts has been fostered by Thermionics to result in several new, unique electron emission configurations. The Hydra configuration eliminates adjacent source interactions without complex beam directions and bulky field shunting components. Thus, the design allows close source proximity for uniform coating and material interaction. Additionally, individual water cooling for each source prevents steam build-up and the inclusion of separate sweep coils for each source and promotes the total independence of the operation parameters of each source from the adjacent source.

Other mounting flanges, configurations and geometries are routinely supplied, please call the factory for further information. Ordering Information Prices are dependent upon many factors, for example system, mounting flange, and e-Gun configurations, and geometries. Our engineering group will work closely with you to determine your requirements, then a firm quotation can be given.
