Pfeiffer Vacuum / Alcatel-Annecy ACM 1000 Module Description

Pfeiffer Vacuum ACM 1000 Module is engineered for precise integration within advanced vacuum systems, providing essential functionality for demanding industrial and research environments. This robust module is designed to operate reliably in high-vacuum applications, supporting processes such as thin-film deposition, semiconductor manufacturing, and analytical instrumentation. Historically associated with Alcatel-Annecy, this equipment reflects a legacy of robust vacuum technology. This module provides integral control and monitoring capabilities within complex vacuum infrastructures. It is purpose-built to facilitate precise regulation of vacuum conditions across various stages of operation. The ACM 1000 contributes to maintaining optimal process environments in sensitive applications.

Functions

Designed as a modular vacuum pumping and control unit within vacuum systems, it integrates with rotary vane or turbo molecular pumps to achieve and regulate low to high vacuum pressures. Operates on a compatible hardware platform featuring power supply interfaces and electronic control boards, enabling communication through analog and digital signals to central controllers or computer systems. Interfaces with downstream vacuum chambers or processes, providing precise vacuum generation and monitoring in scientific, industrial, or semiconductor fabrication applications requiring controlled vacuum environments.

Platforms

Integrated into industrial vacuum systems, connects through standard vacuum flange interfaces; supports Ethernet, RS-232/485 communications; interfaces with control units, sensors for process monitoring; commonly used in semiconductor, research, and pharmaceutical settings.

Applications

Designed for high-precision vacuum measurement and control in analytical instrumentation, semiconductor fabrication, and research applications. Interfaces with turbomolecular pumps and vacuum chambers through standardized electrical connections and communication protocols. Provides real-time pressure monitoring, pump speed control, and system diagnostics for ultra-high vacuum environments typically ranging from 10^-3 to 10^-11 mbar. Commonly integrated into electron beam systems, mass spectrometers, surface analysis equipment, and thin film deposition chambers where contamination-free vacuum conditions are critical.

Accessories

Requires ACP 1000 or ACP 1000C controller chassis for operation. Connects via proprietary 25-pin D-sub interface cable to controller backplane. Power supplied through chassis connection at 24VDC. Compatible with TC 600 turbo controller module for integrated pumping system control. Supports RS-232C serial communication through controller for remote monitoring. Optional analog I/O module provides 0-10V signals for pressure and speed monitoring. Requires cooling water connection with 6mm push-fit fittings when operated at full power. Compatible with PKR 251 or IKR 251 gauge heads for pressure measurement via controller.
