Smart Turbomolecular Pumps

TURBOVAC i/iX series provides improved vacuum performance in a wide range of applications due to high pumping speeds and compression values, lower service costs, and simple, intuitive operation.

These options are also useful for another reason: Each vacuum application—90, 250, 350, 450, 850, and 950—has different installation conditions. This requires flexible installation directions, for example when there is little space for vacuum pumps, as is the case when integrating them into compact, industrial pumping system solutions. Here too, the TURBOVAC i/iX series, with its various models and variants in terms of pumping speeds or compression ratios, is one of the most flexible systems on the market for high-vacuum products and can be mounted in any orientation.

EthernetIP, EtherCAT, Profinet Anybus, Profibus, RS232, and RS485 communication modules are supported. They are all available as IP54 versions. The EthernetIP, EtherCAT, and Profinet modules have an integrated webserver.

The entire TURBOVAC i/iX series can be controlled and monitored via the TURBO.CONTROL i. The advantage of the controller is that it is equally suitable for integration in high-vacuum applications and compact system solutions. Its application is uncomplicated: It can be operated intuitively via the display and front keys or via a web server interface. The web server allows all pump parameters to be easily monitored and set via PC or mobile device.

Last but not least, the maintenance-free and oil-free hybrid bearing concept ensures greater reliability and longer service life: On the high-vacuum side, the rotor of the turbomolecular pump is guided in a wear-free magnetic bearing, while a ceramic ball bearing lubricated for life is integrated on the backing side, which users can replace themselves on-site if necessary.
