With Privacy , vacuum producer Leybold is launching a new, complete turbomolecular pump series, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i household. “The iR fashions substitute the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for instance, the necessities of our high-end analysis clients – corresponding to the most important research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product supervisor, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for flexible distant operation from 3 meters to distances of one kilometre. In all features the merchandise were additionally designed to withstand the challenges that are present in environments with excessive to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide particular cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and also the option for the users to make use of their very own cables,” explains product supervisor Petr Lastovicka. According to Cash , the iR models had been developed using the prevailing materials data of the analysis neighborhood: As a outcome, the materials they comprise have radiation tolerances of as a lot as 1 million grays (Gy).
In combination with the ion getter and non-evaporable getter pumps, so known as ultra-high vacuum pumps, “These attributes set them other than normal market fashions, that are meeting the market requirements but not particularly these wanted for the actual conditions encountered in analysis centers,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is different with the TURBOVAC iR product series: on the one hand, they were developed for the particular necessities regarding 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’t provide as a package,” provides Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR suits perfectly nicely within the TURBOVAC i eco techniques as different merchandise corresponding to equipment or the software program LeyAssist could be utilized as well.
The backside 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 purposes such as 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 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 sequence. 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 benefit: The integrated, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically acknowledges the pump mannequin and immediately adjusts to the particular operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR range utterly covers all current members of the TURBOVAC i family with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In parallel, Leybold will successively increase the equipment range of supporting controllers and cable choices to fulfill customer needs for
extra cable lengths and clever solutions. The clever Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been launched in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will observe in the third quarter of 2022 together with the extra highly effective controller possibility to comprehend even longer cable lengths.
