Edwards will be showcasing its vacuum technologies at Booth V23, Vacuum Expo from 17 – 18th October 2012.
Visitors to the Edwards booth at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry will have the chance to see its nEXT turbomolecular pump.
A 2012 recipient of the “Queen’s Award for Enterprise” in the category of Innovation, nEXT features a novel rotor design fory scientific and R&D applications, including high energy physics and particle accelerators, in a compact size.
A green mode enables users to reduce energy costs thus minimising their carbon footprint whilst achieving the highest standard nitrogen pumping speeds for its size, at up to 400 litres per second.
Also on display will be the new, nXDS dry scroll pump.
The tip-seal technology and scroll design claim to result in a better lifetime compared to other products, while nXDS’ built-in intelligent control and communication options and a stand-by mode offer reduced power consumption and increased process control.
Visitors to the stand will see an nXDS pump in operation, experiencing the acoustic noise levels (of around 52bB(A) ) and minimal vibration.
Available in four sizes, the nXDS range can deliver speeds from 6 m3h-1 to 20 m3h-1 and the ultimate vacuum into the 10-3 mbar region (model dependant) required by laboratories for pharmaceutical, biotech research and high energy physics.
The group will also showcase the entry level pumping station, the T-station 75, which is compatible with a choice of backing pumps.
The Edwards’ TAG (Turbo Active Gauge) controller is fitted to the T-station 75 as standard, enabling users control the turbopump, backing pump and optional gauge from a single control panel.
The TAG controller can also delay the start of the turbopump to either time or pressure for pumping larger volumes, making it an ideal pump for laboratory applications, surface analysis, spectroscopy and small coating systems among others.
