Faculty were trained on a 60-kilovolt electron beam welder, akin to one that is bound for Penn College this fall.Welding faculty intently listen to Alvarez ...... during instruction on the machine's operation and components.Penn College welding faculty recently undertook three days of training at Cambridge Vacuum Engineering Inc. on an electron beam welder that is very similar to the one that will be delivered to campus this fall. Electron beam welding – vital technology in the aerospace, automotive, energy, medical, semiconductor and military industries – is commonly used in the manufacturing of small components. Once installed in the greatly expanded Lycoming Engines Metal Trades Center, it will be the only electron beam welder placed by CVE in any college or university within the United States.
