With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i family. “The iR models exchange the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the requirements of our high-end analysis prospects – similar to the major research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile remote operation from 3 meters to distances of one kilometre. In ไดอะแฟรม ซีล were additionally designed to resist the challenges which are present in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide special cable lengths of as a lot as 200 meters, and also the option for the customers to use their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions have been developed using the prevailing material information of the analysis group: As a end result, the materials they contain have radiation tolerances of as a lot as 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 other than standard market fashions, that are meeting the market requirements but not particularly those needed for the actual situations encountered in research centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product sequence: on the one hand, they have been developed for the particular necessities concerning cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will supply the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers cannot offer as a bundle,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits perfectly well within the TURBOVAC i eco systems as different products corresponding 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 purposes 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
where they aren’t uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition in these utility 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 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 built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller automatically recognizes the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the particular operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR vary utterly covers all current members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively broaden the equipment vary of supporting controllers and cable choices to satisfy customer wants for
further 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 along with the more powerful controller option to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
