With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump collection, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i family. “The iR fashions exchange the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the requirements of our high-end analysis clients – such as the most important analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible distant operation from 3 meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all aspects the merchandise had been additionally designed to resist the challenges that are current in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer particular cable lengths of as much as 200 meters, and also the choice for the users to make use of their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models have been developed using the existing materials data of the research neighborhood: As a result, the supplies they comprise have radiation tolerances of up to 1 million grays (Gy).
In combination with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so known as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them other than normal market models, which are meeting the market requirements but not specifically these wanted for the particular situations encountered in analysis facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they were developed for the special requirements concerning cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we can supply the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers can not supply as a package,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR matches completely well in the TURBOVAC i eco systems as other products similar to accessories or the software program LeyAssist can be utilized as well.
เกจวัดแรงดันsumo is that the model new iR fashions are designed to satisfy the technical requirements of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for purposes similar to synchrotrons (particle accelerators), cyclotrons (circular accelerators), linear accelerators and free-electron lasers. “In these areas, customers can take away the electronics and place them in areas
the place they don’t seem to be uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition in these utility areas is the absolute purity of the pump: this core requirement is fulfilled by the oil-free operation of the bearing system of the new TURBOVAC iR sequence. The TURBOVAC iR additionally supports all relevant communication choices of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus choices of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another advantage: The integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely acknowledges the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the specific operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range completely covers all current members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively broaden the equipment range of supporting controllers and cable choices to satisfy customer needs for
extra cable lengths and intelligent solutions. The clever Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will follow within the third quarter of 2022 along with the more highly effective controller possibility to understand even longer cable lengths.
