With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a brand new, complete turbomolecular pump collection, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i family. “The iR models substitute the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the requirements of our high-end analysis clients – similar to the main analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile remote operation from three meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all aspects the products were additionally designed to withstand the challenges which are current in environments with excessive to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer particular cable lengths of as a lot as 200 meters, and likewise the option for the users to make use of their own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions were developed using the present material knowledge of the analysis neighborhood: As a end result, the supplies they contain have radiation tolerances of as a lot as 1 million grays (Gy).
In combination with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so referred to as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them aside from standard market models, which are assembly the market requirements however not specifically those wanted for the particular situations encountered in research facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is completely different with the TURBOVAC iR product sequence: on the one hand, they were developed for the special necessities relating to cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we can offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers cannot supply as a package deal,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR matches perfectly well in the TURBOVAC i eco techniques as other products corresponding to accessories or the software program LeyAssist could be utilized as properly.
The bottom line is that the new iR fashions are designed to fulfill the technical requirements of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for purposes similar 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 don’t appear to be uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
เกจ์วัดแรงดันน้ำมันเครื่อง in these software areas is absolutely the purity of the pump: this core requirement is fulfilled by the oil-free operation of the bearing system of the new TURBOVAC iR collection. The TURBOVAC iR also helps 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. Another benefit: The integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely recognizes the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the specific working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range fully covers all current members of the TURBOVAC i family with pumping speeds from 90 to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the equipment range of supporting controllers and cable options to fulfill buyer wants for
extra cable lengths and intelligent solutions. 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 along with the more powerful controller choice to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
