Leybold instrumentation refers to the comprehensive suite of vacuum measurement, control, gas analysis, and leak detection technologies manufactured by Leybold. These high-precision instruments are designed to monitor, regulate, and safeguard vacuum systems across industries like scientific research, semiconductor manufacturing, analytical laboratories, and industrial processing.
The core catalog of Leybold instrumentation is categorized into four primary technology sectors:
1. Vacuum Gauges and Sensors (Pressure Measurement)
Because no single sensor can measure the entire span of vacuum pressure (from atmospheric pressure down to ultra-high vacuum), Leybold splits its gauges by technological range:
- Broad Range Gauging: Employs industry-standard sensor technologies like THERMOVAC (thermal conductivity/Pirani) for rough vacuum, PENNINGVAC (cold cathode), and IONIVAC (hot cathode) for high and ultra-high vacuum environments.
- Precision Gauging: Features the CERAVAC CTR capacitance manometers, which provide highly accurate, gas-independent direct pressure measurements.
- Mechanical and Portable Gauges: Includes BOURDONVAC and capsule dial-type gauges for simple mechanical readouts, alongside rugged handheld digital devices like the PIEZOVAC PV201.
2. Vacuum Gauge and Pump Controllers
These systems centralize data, display active measurements, and interface directly with vacuum pumps:
- GRAPHIX Series: High-end active gauge controllers featuring a touchscreen interface capable of communicating with up to three active gauges simultaneously.
- DISPLAY Series: Simplified display units used when basic pressure readouts are needed without complex downstream system control.
- TURBO.CONTROL i: An integrated instrumentation unit that simultaneously regulates TURBOVAC i turbomolecular pumps and monitors active vacuum gauges.
- COMBIVAC & IONIVAC Controllers: Specialized units optimized for managing passive Pirani, cold cathode, or hot cathode configurations in sensitive UHV (Ultra-High Vacuum) setups.
3. Leak Detectors (Helium Testing Systems)
Leybold is an industry leader in tracer gas leak testing. Their flagship PHOENIX Series functions via both vacuum mode (evacuated testing) and sniffer mode (local localization) to catch minute structural compromises. These are deployed as portable workbench units, handheld devices (PHOENIX MOBILIS Ultra), or automated cart systems integrated into factory production lines.
4. Residual Gas Analyzers (RGA)
The LEYSPEC range consists of all-in-one mass spectrometers that identify the exact composition of gases remaining inside a vacuum chamber. They are critical for identifying invisible contaminants, diagnosing outgassing issues, and monitoring background atmospheres during delicate chemical or optical coating processes.
To help point you toward the right documentation or solution, could you share:
- Are you looking to measure a specific pressure range (e.g., rough, high, or ultra-high vacuum)?
- Do you need to replace an existing part number, or are you building a new vacuum system?
- Is your application focused on a specific task like leak detection, gas analysis, or process control?
