SIGN IN CONTACT EUROPE LANGUAGE BASKET (0) Lesker U Live! is series of free webinars spanning many topics taught by leading vacuum experts. Lesker U provides the following: High-value vacuum expert training A solid base of understanding surrounding vacuum technology Deep dives on specific vacuum technology topics All Lesker U Live! Webinars Seals & Flanges for High & Ultra High Vacuum Systems Seals and flanges are a critical vacuum barrier for most vacuum systems and their correct selection, installation, and maintenance effects the integrity of any vacuum enclosure. The specific choice of gasket or o-ring material and the appropriate flange are highly process dependent. In this course the various options for making great seals are reviewed some approaches to the proper care and feeding of sealing systems are discussed. Duration: 1 Hour(s) Expert(s): J.R. Gaines J.R.

Date: Thu, Dec 2, 2021 5:00 PM CET REGISTER Vacuum Pumps for Ultra High Vacuum Applications (Part 2) The achievement of ultra-high vacuum pressures in a research or industrial system requires some extraordinary measures. Accordingly, the vacuum pumps required to reach 10-9 - 10-12 Torr are also extraordinary. In this second session on pumping systems for ultra high vacuum we will build on the system requirements and heroic measures discussed in session #1 and review the range of tools designed specifically to remove or trap the last few remaining gases present at these very low pressures. The course will include details on the operating principles of sputter ion pumps, sublimation pumps, and other techniques that can be employed to reach and maintain UHV pressures. Duration: 1 Hour(s) Expert(s): Garrett Greneck Garrett Grenek is the Global Product Manager for Vacuum Pumps at the Kurt J. Lesker Company. He is one of the Lesker Company's leading experts in vacuum system design and modeling, specializing in high and ultra high vacuum applications. With a background in Mechanical Engineering, Mr. Grenek has spent the past 6 years consulting globally on a variety of vacuum processes, from established production line upgrades and optimization to development of systems for leading edge research. Knowing the process extends beyond inception, he is often strongly engaged in the implementation, support and training to ensure complete satisfaction. He recognizes that to most users, achieving a vacuum environment is not the goal, but only a means to an end, and so his priority is make this easy, so that together we can achieve our mission at Kurt J. Lesker Company of enabling technology for a better world. Date: Thu, Dec 16, 2021 5:00 PM CET REGISTER Annual Christmas Lecture on Vacuum Science & Technology The concept of the 'demonstration lecture' may have originated with the famous instrument maker Francis Hauksbee, who, in 1705, originated the practice with his lectures to the Royal Institution of Great Britain, in London. As support staff for Isaac Newton, Hauksbee became famous for his pioneering demonstrations of the light emitting properties of electricity, 100 years in advance of the invention of the electric light bulb. The tradition of the Christmas lecture began in 1825 at the Royal Institution, in London, long before formal science education was available for the masses. Originated by Michael Faraday, the lectures focused on a single topic and were an opportunity to share the excitement of science with the learned and layperson alike. In this first annual Lesker U Live Christmas lecture, new for 2020, we will focus on the wonders of vacuum science and technology. Vacuum science has increasingly become an enabling technology for many of the incredible technological advances we enjoy in communications, display, medicine, energy conversion, transportation, and the exploration of the universe. In this fun and informative webinar, we will discuss and demonstrate some of the marvels of vacuum technology which make it so ubiquitous in our modern world. The session will also be peppered with live quizzes - just to make sure you are paying attention! Duration: 1 Hour(s) Expert(s): J.R. Gaines J.R.
