Abstract

An electron-beam welding apparatus includes a vacuum chamber and a gantry entirely within the chamber for adjustably supporting an electron-beam welding gun with x, y and z coordinates of adjustability with respect to mutually perpendicular x-, y- and z-axes within the chamber. The gantry includes apparatus telescoping along the z-axis for adjustably supporting the electron-beam welding gun with respect to the z-axis.
