What it is

The Edwards EPX 180 LE is a dry vacuum pump for semiconductor manufacturing and related vacuum processing.[1][2][3][4]

The EPX 180 LE belongs to the Edwards EPX pump family and the LE variant.[2][4]

How it works

The EPX 180 LE uses an integrated water-cooling circuit for the stator and enclosed motor, and the pump incorporates an inverter drive and supply filtering.[4]

Where it fits in the process flow

The EPX 180 LE sits on the vacuum side of semiconductor tools and supports pumping from atmosphere toward high-vacuum or process-vacuum conditions.[4]

The EPX LE configuration is intended for clean-duty service and can be controlled locally, by a pump display terminal, over a network, or through a tool interface module when fitted.[4][2]

Applications

The EPX series covers wafer handling and medium-duty processes.[4]

The EPX LE series is designed for clean-duty applications pumping inert gas mixtures such as loadlock service.[4]
