Siemens Industrial Linear Accelerator
ASTM E1742-00:
The following unit mold is placed between 2 plates made
on 80 mm thick steel (Figure 3).
The diagram shows the result which is generated with the
6 MeV SILAC® (Diagram 1).
D. System interface
Control of the whole system is possible via an external
user interface. This system software can be operated on a
standard Windows computer at the customer site or by
SPS System (24V TTL).
All relevant parameters like energy, dose, repetition rate
or pulse length are variable within the system limits.
In order to start the beam pulse the user can choose
between external triggering and internal trigger control.
The system control is fully integrated and shows the
user all status messages regarding time stamps, status of
system and safety loops and system errors (Figure 4).
E. Safety circuits
The “beam off“ safety switch is realized by an emergency
stop switch of cat. 4, which has to be lined in the radiation
safety loop at the user site.
The system has an interlock system. When activated
the errors are shown on the user monitor and the affected
components stop operation.
After solving the problem, the beam operation can be
continued.

3.0 FE – 80 mm steel
F. Mechanical design
The main design elements are made of aluminum
or stainless steel.
The standard configuration can be operated in the
horizontal position only.
Cooling system
The system needs a DI water supply. This can be provided
at the user end or by the supplier. The recommended
indoor cooling system has the following dimensions:
Width 480 mm, length 510 mm, height 560 mm
