With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a model new, full turbomolecular pump collection, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i household. “ เกจ์ออกซิเจนsumo replace the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the necessities of our high-end analysis prospects – corresponding to the main research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile remote operation from three meters to distances of one kilometre. In all aspects the merchandise have been also designed to resist the challenges which are present in environments with excessive to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide special cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and in addition the choice for the customers to use their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models had been developed using the prevailing material data of the analysis group: As a result, the supplies they contain 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 standard market models, that are assembly the market requirements but not particularly those needed for the actual circumstances encountered in analysis facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they have been developed for the particular requirements concerning cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can’t provide as a bundle,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits completely nicely within the TURBOVAC i eco systems as other merchandise similar to accessories or the software LeyAssist could be utilized as nicely.
The backside line is that the new iR fashions are designed to satisfy 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
where they do not seem to be exposed to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition in these utility areas is absolutely the 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 additionally supports all related communication choices of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus options of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another benefit: The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller automatically recognizes the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the precise working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range completely covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i family with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively expand the equipment range of supporting controllers and cable options to satisfy customer wants for
further cable lengths and intelligent solutions. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will observe within the third quarter of 2022 along with the more highly effective controller choice to understand even longer cable lengths.
