With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a brand new, complete turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions replace the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the requirements of our high-end research customers – corresponding to the major research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible distant operation from 3 meters to distances of one kilometre. In all features the products were also designed to withstand the challenges which are present in environments with high to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide particular cable lengths of as a lot as 200 meters, and likewise the option for the customers to use their own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models have been developed using the prevailing materials data of the research neighborhood: As a result, the materials they contain have radiation tolerances of up to 1 million grays (Gy).
In combination with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so called ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them other than normal market models, which are assembly the market necessities however not specifically these wanted for the particular conditions encountered in research centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product collection: on the one hand, they have been developed for the special necessities relating to cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we can offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers can not offer as a package deal,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits perfectly properly within the TURBOVAC i eco methods as different merchandise such as equipment or the software LeyAssist could be utilized as properly.
The bottom line is that the new iR models are designed to meet the technical necessities of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for purposes such as synchrotrons (particle accelerators), cyclotrons (circular accelerators), linear accelerators and free-electron lasers. “In ร้านซ่อมเครื่องวัดความดัน , customers can take away the electronics and place them in areas
where they are not uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary situation 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 collection. The TURBOVAC iR also helps 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 built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically recognizes the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the particular operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range utterly covers all current members of the TURBOVAC i family with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively broaden the equipment vary of supporting controllers and cable choices to fulfill customer wants for
further cable lengths and clever options. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been launched in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will follow within the third quarter of 2022 together with the extra powerful controller possibility to realize even longer cable lengths.
