With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a brand new, complete turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i household. “The iR models replace the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the necessities of our high-end research clients – such as the main analysis institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the responsible product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, pressure gauge 2.5 นิ้ว was designed for versatile remote operation from three meters to distances of one kilometre. In all aspects the merchandise have been additionally designed to withstand the challenges which are current 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 utilizing the prevailing materials information of the analysis neighborhood: As a end result, the supplies they include have radiation tolerances of as a lot as 1 million grays (Gy).
In mixture with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so known as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them apart from standard market models, which are meeting the market requirements however not particularly those wanted for the particular circumstances encountered in research facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is completely different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they were developed for the special requirements relating to cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we will offer the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can not supply as a bundle,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits perfectly properly within the TURBOVAC i eco systems as other products similar to accessories or the software LeyAssist may be utilized as nicely.
The backside 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 functions 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 seem to be uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary condition 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 brand 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 built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically recognizes the pump model and immediately adjusts to the precise working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR vary fully covers all existing members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively expand the equipment range of supporting controllers and cable choices to meet buyer needs for
extra cable lengths and clever options. The clever Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will comply with within the third quarter of 2022 together with the extra powerful controller option to realize even longer cable lengths.
