With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a brand new, full turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i household. “The iR models exchange the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the requirements of our high-end analysis clients – similar to the major analysis 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 one kilometre. In all elements the merchandise had been also designed to withstand the challenges which are current in environments with excessive to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide special cable lengths of as much as 200 meters, and in addition the option for the customers to make use of their own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions had been developed utilizing the existing material information of the research neighborhood: As a end result, the materials they comprise have radiation tolerances of as much as 1 million grays (Gy).
In mixture 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 assembly the market requirements but not particularly those needed for the actual situations encountered in analysis centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is different with the TURBOVAC iR product sequence: on the one hand, they had been developed for the particular necessities concerning cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we are ready to provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can not provide as a bundle,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits completely properly within the TURBOVAC i eco systems as other products corresponding to equipment or the software program LeyAssist could be utilized as nicely.
The backside line is that the brand new iR models are designed to satisfy the technical requirements of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for functions such as 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 aren’t uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition in these application 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 sequence. The TURBOVAC iR also supports all related communication choices of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus choices of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. เพชเชอร์เกจ : The integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically acknowledges the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the particular operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR vary utterly covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively broaden the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable choices to meet customer wants for
extra 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 comply with within the third quarter of 2022 along with the more powerful controller option to realize even longer cable lengths.
