Electron Beam Technology touches our lives in ways that few people realize. Electron beams produce the pictures on tube type televisions and computer monitors. Electron Beam lithography is used to manufacture the semiconductor devices we use everyday. Electron microscopes produce the high magnification images that have advanced science. Electron Beams are even being used to cure the ink printed on the packaging of items we purchase.
High power electron beam systems are used in the aerospace, automotive, defense, food processing, medical, nuclear, petrochemical, power generation, and a variety of other industries to weld and drill. The aircraft flying today have components that were manufactured using electron beam welding. Most of the automobiles on the road today around the world also have components that were manufactured using electron beam welding. The fiberglass that insulates our homes was produced on machines with precision electron beam drilled holes. PTR and its affiliate companies in the All Welding Technologies Group manufacture these electron beam welding and drilling systems.
