Pfeiffer Vacuum’s updated turbo pump ups the ante by letting users do more with less.
Turbopumps are seldom standalone devices. A high vacuum or ultra-high vacuum system used to produce silicon-on-insulator wafers or to fill cholestric liquid crystal materials for LCDs, for instance, relies on a complex system of pumps, transmitters, flanges, valves, and control devices that must be carefully prepped to suit the desired application.
When factoring in the increasingly strict—and highly specialized—demands of modern manufacturing, whether it’s biomedical or analytical instrumentation, the demand for a company to deliver a standardized vacuum solution is readily apparent.
