With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i household. “The iR models exchange the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the requirements of our high-end analysis clients – similar to the main analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile distant operation from three meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all aspects the products have been additionally designed to resist the challenges which are current in environments with excessive to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer particular cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and in addition the option for the users to use their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions have been developed utilizing the present material knowledge of the analysis community: As a end result, the materials they include have radiation tolerances of as a lot as 1 million grays (Gy).
In mixture with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so referred to as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them aside from standard market fashions, which are meeting the market necessities however not particularly those needed for the actual situations encountered in analysis centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product collection: on the one hand, they have been developed for the particular requirements regarding cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers cannot provide as a package,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR fits Cheap within the TURBOVAC i eco methods as other merchandise corresponding to accessories or the software LeyAssist may be utilized as nicely.
The bottom line is that the model new iR fashions are designed to fulfill the technical requirements 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 these areas, users can take away the electronics and place them in areas
the place they are not exposed to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary situation in these software 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 series. The TURBOVAC iR also helps all relevant communication options of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus options of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another advantage: The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely acknowledges the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the specific operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range utterly covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively expand the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable options to satisfy customer needs for
further cable lengths and intelligent options. The clever Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will comply with in the third quarter of 2022 together with the more highly effective controller possibility to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
