With เพรสเชอร์เกจลม , vacuum producer Leybold is launching a brand new, complete turbomolecular pump collection, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i household. “The iR models replace the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the requirements of our high-end research prospects – such as the main research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible remote operation from 3 meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all aspects the products had been additionally designed to resist the challenges that are present in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer particular cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and also the option for the customers to use their own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models have been developed using the prevailing materials knowledge of the analysis community: As a end result, the materials they include have radiation tolerances of up to 1 million grays (Gy).
In mixture with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so called ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them aside from commonplace market fashions, that are meeting the market requirements but not particularly these wanted for the particular situations encountered in research facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is completely different with the TURBOVAC iR product sequence: on the one hand, they have been developed for the special necessities regarding cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we can offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can’t provide as a package deal,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR matches perfectly properly within the TURBOVAC i eco systems as other products corresponding to accessories or the software LeyAssist may be utilized as properly.
The backside line is that the new iR fashions are designed to fulfill the technical requirements of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for functions corresponding 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 aren’t exposed to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary situation in these utility areas is completely 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 sequence. The TURBOVAC iR additionally supports all related communication options of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus choices of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another benefit: The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller automatically acknowledges the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the specific working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR vary utterly covers all existing members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the equipment range of supporting controllers and cable options to satisfy buyer wants for
further cable lengths and clever options. 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 along with the more powerful controller possibility to realize even longer cable lengths.
