The Varian Turbo-V Pumps
188
Enjoying the Varian Turbo Experience…
Just imagine 1,333 turns in one second: this is the
extraordinary rotational speed of our 80 l/s turbomolecular
pump. Isn’t it amazing? Consider that when you are driving
on an open highway, the wheels of your car make about 15
turns every second. The turbo rotor spins almost
100 times faster!
This is the typical rotational speed of our turbomolecular
pumps, designed to meet the most demanding vacuum
applications: in the Analytical Instrumentation business, the
Semiconductor Market, the Industrial market and the High
Energy Physics research facilities.
All of these varied applications require ultimate vacuum
performance, reliability, and cleanliness, as well as a service
organization that provides rapid response 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. Meeting all of these requirements is our
everyday goal.
With more than 50 years of experience in Vacuum Science,
Varian leads the market in developing unique design solutions.
Examples of our technological achievements include:
In Vacuum
The award winning and unique MacroTorr® pumping stage,
with exhaust pressures up to 18 mbar, minimizes the size and
cost of your primary pumps. Thanks to a complete set of
proprietary numerical modeling tools, the MacroTorr® stages
have been optimized for maximum vacuum performances at
the minimal energy consumption.
In Mechanics
The dry ceramic ball bearing technology, along with our
computer aided balancing system, provide ultimate turbopump
reliability with minimal intervention. No oil in the pump, no oil
in the vacuum system, no oil to refill.
In Electronics
Our microprocessor based pump control units, allow
integration onto the pump and direct pump-to-laptop RS232
serial communications in a user-friendly Windows ™ based
environment. Please check our special Navigator Software
available with any of our Navigator control units.
