With เกจแรงดัน , vacuum producer Leybold is launching a brand new, complete turbomolecular pump collection, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i family. “The iR models replace the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the requirements of our high-end research customers – such as the major analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile remote operation from three meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all features the products had been also designed to withstand the challenges that are current in environments with high to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer special cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and also the option for the users to make use of their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions were developed utilizing the existing materials knowledge of the analysis group: As a end result, the materials they contain have radiation tolerances of as much as 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, that are meeting the market requirements however not particularly these wanted for the particular conditions encountered in research centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they were developed for the special necessities relating to cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can’t supply as a bundle,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits completely well within the TURBOVAC i eco methods as different merchandise similar to accessories or the software program LeyAssist may be utilized as properly.
The bottom line is that the brand new iR models 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
where they are not exposed to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary situation in these software areas is absolutely the purity of the pump: this core requirement is fulfilled by the oil-free operation of the bearing system of the model new TURBOVAC iR series. The TURBOVAC iR additionally 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 benefit: The integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely acknowledges the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the specific working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR vary completely covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively expand the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable options to meet buyer needs for
further cable lengths and clever solutions. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will observe in the third quarter of 2022 together with the extra powerful controller option to realize even longer cable lengths.
