With เกจวัดอาร์กอน , vacuum manufacturer Leybold is launching a brand new, full turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i household. “The iR models exchange the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the necessities of our high-end research clients – such as the major research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible remote operation from 3 meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all elements the products were additionally designed to withstand the challenges which are current in environments with excessive to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide special cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and likewise the option for the customers to use their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models have been developed utilizing the present material knowledge of the research community: As a outcome, the materials they contain have radiation tolerances of up to 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 other than standard market models, that are assembly the market necessities but not particularly these needed for the actual situations encountered in analysis facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is totally different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they had been developed for the special necessities relating to cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we are ready to provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can not supply as a bundle,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits perfectly nicely in the TURBOVAC i eco systems as other products similar to accessories or the software LeyAssist could be utilized as well.
The bottom line is that the brand new iR models are designed to fulfill the technical necessities of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for applications similar 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 don’t seem to be uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary situation in these application 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 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 benefit: The built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely acknowledges the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the precise working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range fully covers all current members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable choices to fulfill customer wants for
extra cable lengths and intelligent options. The clever 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 together with the more powerful controller possibility to realize even longer cable lengths.
