Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) has announced the launch of the MS-101, a new addition to the company's
comprehensive line of single-stage rotary vane pumps (the MS series) and roots
pumping systems (the RPS series).
The new product enhances Agilent's offerings for industrial processes
such as vacuum metallurgy and thin-film coatings. The MS-101 provides
controlled environments in small to mid-sized vacuum chambers with the best
pump performance and throughput, as well as high reliability, durability and
easy maintenance.
"The addition of the MS-101 to the MS series fills a gap in our
line of small-to-medium rotary vane pumps for industrial processes where
chamber volumes and gas-flow requirements are lower but vacuum quality cannot
be compromised," said Giampaolo Levi, vice president and general manager
of Agilent's Vacuum Products Division. "The MS-101 enhances the MS series
to provide a broad range of pumping speeds and capacities to match common as
well as emerging processes."
The MS series is known for a variety of high-capacity, single-stage,
oil-lubricated rotary vane pumps. The rugged design and compact size of the
MS-101 make it ideal for demanding industrial applications such as helium leak
detection and electron beam welding. The MS-101 delivers unsurpassed performance
among rotary vane pumps in the 100 m3 per hour range.
The MS series complements Agilent's diffusion and turbo-molecular pump
lines, which all together provide complete, performance-enhanced vacuum systems
for industrial processes.
