Abstract
The invention relates to an X-ray unit, an X-ray system, and a method for manufacturing an X-ray system. The X-ray system comprises an X-ray unit, a cathode, and an anode. The X-ray unit comprises a vacuum tube and a magnet system. The vacuum tube is configured to encase a cathode, an anode, and a drift way for an electron beam moving between the cathode and the anode. The magnet system is configured to focus the electron beam and the magnet system is fused to the vacuum tube.
Claims10
An X-ray device, comprising:
- a vacuum tube configured to encase a cathode and an anode to form a drift way for an electron beam moving between the cathode and the anode;
- and
- a magnet system configured to focus the electron beam,
- wherein the magnet system is a mono shell fused to the vacuum tube to directly connect the magnet system to the vacuum tube to form one part only, and wherein the magnet system surrounds the vacuum tube in an area of the drift way.
