3M™ Electron Guns are designed, fabricated assemblies of the cathode, mounting structures, ceramic high voltage standoffs, focus electrodes, grids and complete assemblies with high mechanical and vacuum integrity.
Precision Machined and Assembled
3M™ Electron Guns (PDF, 145.47 Kb) are machined and assembled with precision for high mechanical and vacuum integrity. Our pre-tested, measured assemblies and easy, next-step installation can help speed production and minimize device failures. We manufacture a wide range of custom electron gun components, partial and complete assemblies for a variety of communications, aviation and defense applications.
Putting 60 Years of Experience to Work
Building an electron gun is a highly technical and time-consuming process; we offer our expertise and our manufacturing services to help free up your technical resources. With over sixty years of experience in this field, we have the technical expertise and precision manufacturing capacity required to support the accelerated development of custom-designed electron guns, built to your most exacting requirements.
