Thanks to its unique self-contained concept, Easy-e-BeamTM integrates in one unique system the E-beam accelerator and the wire handling system, both of them being managed by a single PLC-based Control System.
Wires and cables that are wound on reels are fed into the Easy-e-BeamTM and then, after electron beam treatment, are rewound onto take-up reels. Easy-e-Beam can handle up to 30 mm² of cable and reach a line speed of up to 1000 m/min.
Easy-e-beam is a unique ALL-IN-ONE wire and cable processing system.
Its electron beam accelerator, underbeam wire handling system and auxiliary systems are fully integrated by a programmable PLC based control system.
An advanced control system means that Easy-e-beam can be easily operated by one person.
Large, high-energy industrial electron beam processing systems require massive concrete structures for shielding, which contribute to their costs.
Easy-e-beam is self-contained and can be quickly and easily installed and put into use in most existing wire and cable facilities.
Wires and cables can be easily fed into and taken from the Easy-e-beam system.
The high electrical efficiency and low maintenance costs of Easy-e-beam are significant.
These factors combined with the high production throughput of Easy-e-Beam mean that saving of at least 20% can be achieved compared to traditional crosslinking methods.
The Easy-e-beam crosslinking of wire insulation and cable jacketing can be achieved at 1,000 meters per minute.
Wire insulation or cable jacketing up to 30mm2 (65kcmil) in thickness can be crosslinked with the Easy-e-beam system.
The IBA crosslinking technology of Easy-e-beam has been successfully used for over 50 years in numerous industrial applications.
Working with IBA, you are sure to receive the safest and most reliable equipment and a continuous service from a well established supplier.
Wires and cables that are wound on reels are fed into the Easy-e-beam and then, after electron beam treatment, are rewound onto take-up reels.
With Easy-e-beam this requires only a limited amount of valuable plant floor space.
For the protection of personnel in the work environment, Easy-e-beam complies with all the safety regulations for electron beam facilities.
A safety interlock system shuts down this electrical equipment if access to the electron beam process area is attempted while in use.
The underbeam capstan system is a four-drum design whicj can accommodate a large variety of wire and cable sizes.
These smooth, stainless steel drums are machined and balanced for high speed processing and allow wire splices to pass without interruption.
The spacing of the wires is controlled by grooved roller guides that are free to rotate when in contact with the wires. Small wires twist slightly while passing between the drums.
This assures sufficiently uniform exposure to the electron beam after many passes.
It includes, in addition to the fore pump and turbo-molecular pump, a thermocouple gauge, an ion gauge and controller, and a control system that ensures a safe shutdown and automatic restart if a power failure occurs.
the vessel houses the voltage generating components, the high voltage terminal, the electron gun and the electron acceleration tube.
The control system is an industrial PLC-based system that integrates all of the process variables and maintains a log of process conditions.
It is user-friendly, making the Easy-e-beam processing convenient for production operators.
It transforms incoming three-phase line power into single-phase RF power for the high voltage generating system in the pressure vessel.
It is used to store the sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas used within the pressure vessel if and when maintenance is performed on the electrical components in the pressure vessel.
SF6 gas is a reliable insulator that prevents electrical discharges between components within the pressure vessel.
It cools some of the critical components of the Easy-e-beam system.
