With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a model new, complete turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i family. “The iR models replace the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the necessities of our high-end analysis customers – corresponding to the major analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, ที่วัดแรงดันน้ำ was designed for versatile distant operation from 3 meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all features the products were additionally designed to withstand the challenges which are current in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer special cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and also the option for the users to use their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions have been developed using the existing materials data of the analysis group: As a end result, the supplies they contain 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 other than normal market models, that are meeting the market requirements but not specifically these needed for the actual circumstances encountered in analysis facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is completely different with the TURBOVAC iR product collection: on the one hand, they have been developed for the special requirements concerning cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we can provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps mixed with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can not offer as a package,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR matches completely well in the TURBOVAC i eco systems as different products corresponding to equipment or the software program LeyAssist can be utilized as nicely.
The bottom line is that the new iR models are designed to fulfill the technical requirements of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for applications 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
where they are not uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary situation in these application 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 additionally helps all relevant 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 acknowledges the pump model and instantly adjusts to the specific operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range completely covers all present members of the TURBOVAC i family with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the accessories range of supporting controllers and cable options to meet customer needs for
additional cable lengths and clever options. The intelligent 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 extra powerful controller option to understand even longer cable lengths.
