1 Introduction to the CV-12SLX
1.1 Product Description
The Temescal Model CV-12SLX is a 12-kW, constant voltage, high-frequency, switching electron
beam power supply. Designed to power and control up to two electron beam sources, the CV-
12SLX is compatible with sources featuring either permanent-magnet or electromagnetic
deflection. The power supply delivers up to 10 kV at 1200 mA, making it possible to achieve
substantial deposition rates in production environments. The CV-12SLX provides stable output at
all voltage levels, rapid arc recovery, ease of integration, and safety and convenience for
operating as well as service personnel.
The main components of CV-12SLX units are the HVPS (see Figure 1-1), the filament power
supply (see Figure 1-2), and the control and high-voltage cables required to connect these
components to each other and to the system’s control computer.
NOTE
In systems without a PLC-based system controller, a TemEBeam
TM
Controller (see Figure 1-3 is a
required accessory for the CV-12SLX. For additional information about the EBC, see section 1.5.
