With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump collection, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i family. “The iR fashions exchange the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the necessities of our high-end research prospects – corresponding to the major analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile remote operation from three meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all aspects the merchandise have been also designed to withstand the challenges which are present in environments with excessive to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer special cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and also the option for the customers to make use of their own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models have been developed utilizing the present material data of the research group: As a outcome, 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 standard market models, which are meeting the market necessities however not specifically these needed 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 had been developed for the special requirements concerning cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we can provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can’t provide as a package,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR matches perfectly properly in the TURBOVAC i eco systems as different products such as accessories or the software program LeyAssist could be utilized as properly.
The backside line is that the new iR fashions 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 these areas, customers can remove the electronics and place them in areas
where they are not uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
เกจวัดแรงกด 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 series. The TURBOVAC iR additionally 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 benefit: The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically recognizes the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the precise working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range completely 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 range of supporting controllers and cable options to fulfill customer wants for
further cable lengths and clever solutions. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been launched in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will observe in the third quarter of 2022 along with the extra highly effective controller possibility to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
