With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a new, full turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i household. “The iR models replace the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the requirements of our high-end research customers – similar to the most important research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile distant operation from three meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all aspects the merchandise had been also designed to withstand the challenges which are current in environments with high to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer particular cable lengths of as much as 200 meters, and likewise the choice for the customers to use their own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models had been developed using the existing material information of the analysis neighborhood: As a outcome, the materials they include have radiation tolerances of as a lot 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 aside from standard market fashions, which are meeting the market requirements however not particularly those wanted for the actual conditions encountered in analysis centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. เกจวัดความดันน้ำ is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product sequence: on the one hand, they have been developed for the particular necessities relating to cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers cannot provide as a bundle,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR fits perfectly properly in the TURBOVAC i eco techniques as different merchandise such as accessories or the software LeyAssist can be utilized as properly.
The backside line is that the new iR fashions are designed to meet the technical requirements of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for applications 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 aren’t exposed to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition 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 sequence. The TURBOVAC iR also helps 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 advantage: The integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically recognizes the pump model and immediately adjusts to the specific operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range completely 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 fulfill customer wants for
extra cable lengths and intelligent options. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been launched in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will observe within the third quarter of 2022 together with the extra powerful controller possibility to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
