Product catalog summary
Overview
The HICUBE™ modular pumping stations are engineered for high and ultra-high vacuum applications, featuring a modular design that allows for the independent selection of turbopumps and backing pumps. This design ensures adaptability to various vacuum requirements, offering robust, fully automated, and ready-to-connect solutions for maximum reliability.
Specifications
  • Modular Design: Customizable for specific vacuum needs.
  • Energy Efficiency: Optimizes energy consumption by reducing the output of the backing pump when no gas load is detected.
  • Pressure Indicators: Compatible with both digital and analog pressure sensors for precise monitoring.
  • Data Collection: Features remote control via USB interface, with data analysis supported by TurboViewer software or LabView drivers.
Product Variants
  • HiCube Eco: A compact tabletop unit for small volumes, with turbopump speeds from 22 to 260 l/s and backing pump speeds from 0.5 to 1.8 m³/h.
  • HiCube Classic: A floor-standing unit for small to medium volumes, offering higher pumping speeds and robust construction.
  • HiCube Pro: A mobile unit with lockable wheels, suitable for large volumes, featuring advanced turbopump combinations for faster final pressures.
Technical Data
  • Pumping Speed: Varies by model, with turbopumps ranging from 22 to 685 l/s and backing pumps from 0.5 to 22 m³/h.
  • Ultimate Pressure: Achievable pressures as low as <1 · 10-10 hPa with specific configurations.
  • Power Consumption: Ranges from 170 W to 1110 W depending on the model and configuration.
Customer Benefits
  • Adaptable to all high and ultra-high vacuum applications due to modular design.
  • Energy savings through intermittent operation of backing pumps.
  • Easy integration with pressure gauges and data collection systems.
Features
  • Mobility: Both HiCube Classic and Pro models are designed to be mobile and robust, with options for wheels and brakes.

  • Modularity: Supports a range of turbopumps and backing pumps, allowing for customized configurations to meet specific vacuum requirements.
Options and Configurations
  • Turbopumps: Multiple models available, including HiPace 80, 300, 400, and 700, with different flange types (ISO-KF, ISO-K, CF-F).
  • Backing Pumps: Options include diaphragm pumps, rotary vane pumps, and multi-stage Roots pumps, with various power and voltage configurations.
  • Additional Features: Options for cable sets, fore-vacuum lines, and cooling methods are available to enhance system performance and adaptability.
Applications
The HiCube systems are suitable for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications, providing clean vacuum solutions for medium to large volume pumping needs.
Conclusion
Pfeiffer Vacuum offers a comprehensive range of vacuum solutions with customizable options to meet diverse industrial and scientific requirements, backed by global service and support.

HICUBE™-2

The modular pumping stations for all applications in high and ultra-high vacuum Ideal for any application HiCube turbopumping stations are defined by their modular design. Turbopumps and backing pumps can be independently selected. This makes it possible to configure pumping stations which are adapted to all high and ultra-high vacuum requirements. The robust workmanship and the ready-to-connect, fully automated pump unit guarantee maximum reliability. Intelligent efficiency The turbopump and the backing pump form a single unit in the pumping station. If there is no gas load on the vacuum side,...
