Sciaky Inc. announces shipment of the first of three Large EBW Machines to Overseas Customers.
CHICAGO, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sciaky, Inc. of Chicago has announced shipment of a VX-300 Electron Beam Welding machine in May 2025. This machine will be followed by two additional machines of similar layout to overseas customers. These machines will each feature a chamber size of 300″ x 110″ x 110″, and a work envelope of 250″ x 42″ x 60″. These machines will ship with standard 5-axis CNC controls and EB welding capabilities, with the accommodations for additional CNC Axes and EBAM capability in the future. The machines will be used primarily in the Aerospace and Semiconductor industries, but will have the flexibility to be useful for any future business these customers acquire.
Sciaky has been newsworthy for the past decade with their developments in Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing, but these machine contracts highlight their world leadership in Electron Beam Welding machines. Known for their medium and large-chamber moving gun EBW machines, Sciaky has installations in US-based and international installations in the Aerospace, Power Generation, Automotive, and Oil/Gas Exploration fields. These machines will feature multi-axis heavy-duty machines with up to 42kW of beam power, EBW users have been using Sciaky Electron Beam technology since the early 1960's for the most demanding and precise metal joining tasks.
According to Scott Phillips, CEO of Sciaky's parent company Phillips Service Industries, Inc.: 'We find that too many in the industry do not realize that our EBAM platform is a truly dual-use technology, where every EBAM machine retains it's full functionality as a CNC Electron Beam Welder. In the past, this has helped many of our machine buyers in their justification to purchase a machine. We feel this makes our product somewhat unique in the Welding and Additive Manufacturing worlds.' Historically, Sciaky will have multiple machines of both capabilities in process in process in our Chicago manufacturing facility. You can approach the engineering staff at Sciaky for application assistance for both EBAM and EBW projects that can range from equipment acquisition through prototypes, development or one of a kind production.
