Leybold designs new TURBOVAC iR model series for R&D

With the TURBOVAC iR variants, vacuum producer Leybold is launching a brand new, full turbomolecular pump collection, technologically derived from the proven TURBOVAC i family. “The iR models substitute the former TURBOVAC ClassicLine pumps and meet, for example, the necessities of our high-end research customers – such as the major research institutes CERN or DESY,” summarizes the accountable product manager, Petr Lastovicka.
Accordingly, the TURBOVAC iR was designed for versatile remote operation from three meters to distances of one kilometre. In all elements the products were also designed to resist the challenges that are present in environments with high to very high ionizing radiation. “For this, we provide particular cable lengths of up to 200 meters, and also the choice for the customers to use their very own cables,” explains product manager Petr Lastovicka. According to Lastovicka, the iR fashions had been developed utilizing the existing material data of the analysis neighborhood: As a result, the materials they contain have radiation tolerances of as much as 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 apart from normal market fashions, which are meeting the market requirements but not specifically those needed for the particular circumstances encountered in analysis facilities,” says Petr Lastovicka. This is completely different with the TURBOVAC iR product sequence: on the one hand, they have been developed for the special requirements concerning cable length and radiation tolerance. “In addition, we can provide the TURBOVAC iR pumps combined with our ion pumps and NEG pumps, which different suppliers can not offer as a package,” adds Lastovicka. TURBOVAC iR fits perfectly nicely in the TURBOVAC i eco methods as different merchandise similar to equipment or the software LeyAssist can be utilized as properly.
The bottom 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 similar to synchrotrons (particle accelerators), cyclotrons (circular accelerators), linear accelerators and free-electron lasers. “In these areas, customers can remove the electronics and place them in areas

the place they do not appear to be exposed 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 collection. 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 built-in, new TURBO.DRIVE controller mechanically recognizes the pump mannequin and instantly adjusts to the particular operating modes.
The TURBOVAC iR vary utterly covers all current members of the TURBOVAC i household with pumping speeds from ninety to 950 l/s. In เกจ์วัดแรงดันน้ำมันเครื่อง , Leybold will successively broaden the accessories vary of supporting controllers and cable options to meet customer wants for

extra cable lengths and clever options. The intelligent Controller TURBO.DRIVE 500eC has been released in April and the TURBOVAC iR sizes 1350 and 1450 will observe within the third quarter of 2022 together with the extra highly effective controller possibility to realize even longer cable lengths.
