Abstract

A comprehensive methodology for designing a magnetic deflection system for a technological electron gun is proposed. The feasibility of using deflection systems with an internal magnetic circuit and toroidal coil sections to form deflection fields that ensure azimuth beam rotation with a constant angle of deviation from the vertical axis is substantiated. The potential of computer modeling is shown both at the stage of calculating the deflection field and beam displacement and at the stage of creating the design of the system frame for its subsequent manufacture based on 3D printing. The main coil parameters are determined, and the circuit diagram of a current stabilizer with external control from a digital-to-analog converter is developed. Dependences are presented showing the relationship between control signals and deflection angles in the developed unit prototype. It is shown that the proposed technique is universal and can be used to create electron-optical gun elements providing deflection, scanning, parallel transfer or adjustment of technological electron beams.
