Pfeiffer Vacuum Wins “R&D 100 Award”
Pfeiffer Vacuum has won the prestigious “R&D 100 Award” for developing the OnTool Booster. R&D Magazin awards this prize annually in recognition of the 100 most technologically significant new developments.
Development director Armin Conrad had this to say in accepting the prize on October 18, 2007: “We are very pleased about this distinction. Pfeiffer Vacuum has brought to market a high-vacuum pump that works against atmosphere. In the past, many applications required the employment of a combination of high-vacuum and backing pumps. This vacuum pump sets new standards. Since the new OnTool Booster works against atmosphere, a backing pump is no longer required. Due to the compact design, the pump can be placed directly at the vacuum chamber. That saves space and money for our customers.”
