contents We investigate axion production in the collision between a spin-polarized relativistic electron beam and an ultraintense laser pulse. A spin-resolved Monte Carlo framework is developed to model axion-electron and axion-photon couplings in arbitrary electromagnetic fields, using quantum emission probabilities under the local constant field approximation. Owing to spin-dependent asymmetries in radiation probability, the emitted axions acquire a characteristic angular deflection tied to the initial electron polarization. This spin-dependent asymmetry enables control over the axion emission direction by adjusting the polarization of the electron beam and laser field. Simulations show that a dense and collimated axion beam ($\sim 10^{10} g_{ae}^2$) with a tunable deflection angle ($\sim$ mrad) can be produced within tens of femtoseconds using current laser technology. Our results establish a novel mechanism for manipulating axion trajectories and open a promising route toward laboratory-based searches for the axion-electron coupling.
