Edwards Expands Vacuum Pump Line
Edwards has expanded its range of magnetically levitated turbomo-lecular pumps with the introduction of the STP-iXA2206 and STP-
iXA3306. Developed for solar, glass coating, semiconductor and LCD
etch applications, the STP-iXA3306 offers a maximum pumping speed
of 3,200 liters per second and improved throughput performance at
high gas flows. The S TP-iXA2206 offers the same pumping speed of the
earlier STP-A2203, yet the maximum throughput capability has been
increased. It features the latest-generation small power supply, which
has been incorporated into the popular onboard controller. The pumps
feature a five-axis magnetic bearing system with maintenance intervals
as long as five years. edwardsvacuum.com
