In 1958, Dr Willi Becker invented the first turbomolecular vacuum pump at Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions – and set a new standard in vacuum technology. His innovation revolutionized vacuum generation, making it possible to achieve unprecedented conditions in the high and ultra-high vacuum range. His technology uses high-speed rotors to generate high, ultra-high, and even extremely high vacuum levels down to 10⁻¹¹ hPa (mbar). Read more
