Leybold designs new TURBOVAC iR model series for R&D

With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a model new, full turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions substitute the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the necessities of our high-end research clients – corresponding to the most important analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile distant operation from 3 meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all elements the products had been also designed to resist the challenges which are current in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide particular cable lengths of as a lot as 200 meters, and likewise the option for the users to use their own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions have been developed using the existing material data of the research community: As a end result, the materials they include have radiation tolerances of up to 1 million grays (Gy).
In เกจวัดแรงดันเครื่องกรองน้ำ with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so called ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them apart from standard market fashions, which are meeting the market requirements however not specifically these needed for the particular situations encountered in research 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 necessities concerning cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers cannot offer as a bundle,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR matches perfectly properly within the TURBOVAC i eco systems as different products similar to accessories or the software LeyAssist could be utilized as well.
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 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 uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition in these software 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 options of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another advantage: The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically acknowledges the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the particular working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range fully covers all existing members of the TURBOVAC i family with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively expand the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable options to satisfy buyer needs for
extra cable lengths and intelligent options. The clever 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 together with the extra highly effective controller choice to understand even longer cable lengths.
