With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions exchange the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the requirements of our high-end analysis prospects – similar to the main analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile distant operation from three meters to distances of one kilometre. In all aspects the merchandise were additionally designed to resist the challenges that are present in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer special cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and likewise the option for the users to make use of their very own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models were developed using the prevailing materials knowledge of the analysis neighborhood: As a outcome, the materials they include have radiation tolerances of up to 1 million grays (Gy).
In mixture with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so referred to as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them aside from commonplace market fashions, that are assembly the market requirements but not specifically those wanted for the actual conditions encountered in analysis facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. ราคาpressuregauge is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they have been developed for the special necessities concerning cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers can’t offer as a package,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits perfectly well within the TURBOVAC i eco techniques as other merchandise corresponding to accessories or the software LeyAssist may be utilized as well.
The bottom line is that the brand new iR fashions are designed to fulfill 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, users can remove the electronics and place them in areas
the place they are not exposed 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 new TURBOVAC iR series. The TURBOVAC iR also 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 automatically recognizes the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the particular working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range utterly covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable choices to satisfy customer 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 comply with within the third quarter of 2022 along with the extra powerful controller possibility to realize even longer cable lengths.
