Key Features & Specifications

The Alcatel ATH 1300M turbomolecular pump incorporates advanced design features that have made the ATH series one of the most trusted names in high-vacuum technology. Here are the key characteristics that define this exceptional vacuum pump:

  • 1300 L/s Pumping Speed: The ATH 1300M delivers a nominal pumping speed of approximately 1300 liters per second for nitrogen, providing rapid pump-down of vacuum chambers and excellent throughput for production applications.
  • Clean Oil-Free Operation: The turbomolecular pumping mechanism operates without pumping fluids in the high-vacuum path, ensuring that the vacuum environment remains free of hydrocarbon contamination that could compromise sensitive processes or measurements.
  • Compact French Design: Manufactured in France with precision European engineering, the ATH 1300M packs impressive pumping capacity into a compact, lightweight form factor that simplifies installation and reduces system footprint.
  • Lightweight Construction: At 34.300 Kg, this pump is relatively lightweight for its pumping capacity, facilitating easier handling, installation, and maintenance compared to heavier alternative designs.
  • Proven Reliability: The ATH series has accumulated decades of successful operation in research laboratories, semiconductor fabrication facilities, and analytical instrument installations worldwide, demonstrating exceptional reliability and long service life.
  • Wide Application Versatility: Suitable for high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum applications across scientific research, materials processing, surface analysis, thin film deposition, and analytical instrumentation fields.

Applications & Use Cases

The Alcatel ATH 1300M turbomolecular pump serves a wide variety of high-vacuum applications across research, industrial, and analytical fields. Its oil-free pumping mechanism and high pumping speed make it particularly valuable for contamination-sensitive processes:

Mass Spectrometry Systems

Mass spectrometers used in environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical analysis, petrochemical testing, and materials characterization rely on turbomolecular pumps to create the high vacuum necessary for ion flight paths. The ATH 1300M's clean pumping ensures that background signals remain low, enabling detection of trace-level compounds with confidence.

Electron Microscopy

Scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and transmission electron microscopes (TEM) require high vacuum conditions to prevent electron scattering by gas molecules and to protect sensitive electron emitters from contamination. The ATH 1300M provides the clean, stable vacuum environment essential for high-resolution imaging and microanalysis.

Semiconductor Process Equipment

Although often complemented by larger pumps in high-throughput production tools, the ATH 1300M is well-suited for smaller semiconductor process chambers, research deposition systems, and analytical tools used in semiconductor process development and quality control applications.

Surface Science and Materials Research

Ultra-high vacuum surface analysis systems including X-ray photoelectron spectrometers (XPS), Auger electron spectrometers, and scanning probe microscopes require turbomolecular pumping to achieve the base pressures necessary for surface-sensitive measurements. The ATH 1300M provides the pumping speed and cleanliness these techniques demand.
