The Edwards EPX 180 NE is a dry vacuum pump used in semiconductor manufacturing. The Edwards EPX 180 NE has a pumping speed of 106 CFM and an ultimate vacuum of less than 7x10^-5 Torr. The Edwards EPX 180 NE includes an integrated display and control panel.[1][2]
What it is
The Edwards EPX 180 NE is a dry vacuum pump intended for use in semiconductor manufacturing applications. The pump is part of the Edwards EPX N series, which is a line of dry vacuum pumps. The EPX N series pumps are equipped with a nitrogen purge system for process compatibility.[3]
The Edwards EPX 180 NE dry pump uses an integrated display and control panel. The pump has an ISO63 inlet and a KF25 exhaust. The pumping speed is 106 CFM and the ultimate vacuum is less than 7 x 10^-5 Torr. The pump weighs 104 lbs.[1]
How it works
The Edwards EPX 180 NE includes pump protection sensors and LED status indicators to monitor pump conditions. The pump can be controlled and monitored through an End User Controller (EUC) and a Pump Display Terminal (PDT), which provide menus for operation, status, control, and setup functions.[3]
