With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions exchange the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the requirements of our high-end research clients – similar to the major research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible distant operation from 3 meters to distances of 1 kilometre. In all elements the products had been additionally designed to withstand the challenges which are present in environments with high to very excessive ionizing radiation. “For pressure gauge 4 นิ้ว , we offer special cable lengths of as much as 200 meters, and also the option for the users to use their own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions have been developed utilizing the prevailing material information of the analysis community: As a end result, the supplies they contain have radiation tolerances of up to 1 million grays (Gy).
In combination with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so called ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them other than commonplace market fashions, that are assembly the market necessities however not particularly these needed for the actual circumstances encountered in analysis facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they had been developed for the particular necessities concerning cable size and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we are in a position to supply the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which other suppliers can not provide as a package deal,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR fits completely properly within the TURBOVAC i eco systems as different merchandise similar to accessories or the software LeyAssist may be utilized as well.
The bottom line is that the new iR models are designed to satisfy the technical necessities of the high-energy physics market. This makes them predestined for functions 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
the place they don’t appear to be uncovered to radiation,” explains Petr Lastovicka.
Another elementary situation 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 brand new TURBOVAC iR sequence. 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 automatically recognizes the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the specific working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range utterly covers all existing members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the equipment vary of supporting controllers and cable choices to meet buyer wants for
additional cable lengths and intelligent 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 along with the extra highly effective controller option to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
