Development of a new system, in contrast to diode emission systems with filamentary cathode being earlier applied in space guns, is based on triode emission system with cathode preheating by electron bombardment. New emission system is designed using a procedure based on simultaneous solution of problems of analysis and synthesis applying an apparatus for trajectory analysis of electron beams. The proposed emission system is designed in two variants, i.e. manual and automated types of electron beam tools. An electron beam with phase characteristic close to linear one is formed in each of calculated variants, that provides for high specific power of the beam in place of welding (to 9 kW/mm2) at total beam capacity to 2.5 kW and, as a result, allows carrying out welding and cutting of aluminum and titanium alloys, as well as stainless steels, of up to 5 mm thickness in continuous and pulsed modes under open space conditions.
