With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a brand new, complete turbomolecular pump sequence, technologically derived from the confirmed TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions replace the previous TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the necessities of our high-end analysis customers – similar to the main research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible distant operation from three meters to distances of one kilometre. In all aspects the merchandise were additionally designed to withstand the challenges that are present in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we offer special cable lengths of as much as 200 meters, and likewise the option for the customers to make use of their very own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR models have been developed using the existing materials knowledge of the research community: As a end result, the materials they include have radiation tolerances of as much as 1 million grays (Gy).
In เกจแรงดันลม 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, that are meeting the market necessities however not particularly those wanted 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 were developed for the special requirements concerning cable length 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’t provide as a bundle,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR fits perfectly properly in the TURBOVAC i eco systems as different products corresponding to equipment or the software program LeyAssist may be utilized as properly.
The backside line is that the new iR fashions are designed to meet 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 take away 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 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 series. The TURBOVAC iR additionally helps all relevant communication choices of the TURBOVAC I, USB, 15-pin digital I/O and all serial and fieldbus choices of the TURBO.DRIVE 500e. Another advantage: The integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller routinely recognizes the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the precise working modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range utterly covers all existing members of the TURBOVAC i family with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable options to satisfy customer wants for
further cable lengths and clever solutions. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will follow in the third quarter of 2022 together with the more highly effective controller possibility to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
