With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions replace the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the requirements of our high-end analysis prospects – corresponding to the main analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile remote operation from 3 meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In pressure gauge 10 bar were additionally 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 also the choice for the customers to use their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models have been developed utilizing the prevailing materials data of the analysis group: As a end result, the supplies they comprise have radiation tolerances of as a lot as 1 million grays (Gy).
In diaphragm seal with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so known as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them apart from standard market fashions, that are assembly the market requirements however not particularly these needed for the particular situations encountered in analysis centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product collection: on the one hand, they had been developed for the special requirements regarding cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we are able to provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers cannot provide as a package,” adds Lastovicka. ไดอะแฟรม in the TURBOVAC i eco systems as different products similar to equipment or the software program LeyAssist may be utilized as nicely.
The bottom line is that the new iR models are designed to satisfy the technical necessities 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
the place they aren’t uncovered 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 brand new TURBOVAC iR series. The TURBOVAC iR additionally supports all relevant 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 integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely acknowledges the pump model and immediately adjusts to the precise operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range completely covers all existing members of the TURBOVAC i family with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the equipment vary of supporting controllers and cable choices to fulfill buyer wants for
additional cable lengths and clever solutions. The clever Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will follow within the third quarter of 2022 together with the extra powerful controller choice to understand even longer cable lengths.
