ULVAC Vacuum Equipment Training
We offer structured training for operators, maintenance engineers, and process engineers working with ULVAC vacuum equipment. Training is available on-site at your facility or with the theory component delivered remotely by video call. All topics are tailored to the equipment at your site. Training is delivered in Russian or English.
Operator Training
For technicians and production staff who operate vacuum equipment daily. Duration: 1 to 2 days depending on equipment count.
- Daily visual inspection routine and checklist
- Understanding vacuum gauge readings, alarm indicators, and normal operating parameters
- Correct startup and shutdown sequences for each equipment type
- Recognising early fault signs: abnormal noise, abnormal pressure, oil colour change, unusual smell
- Oil level and condition checks for oil-sealed pumps; gas ballast operation
- Safe venting procedures and re-pump sequences
- Emergency stop, lockout/tagout, and safe isolation procedures
- Log-keeping and when to escalate to maintenance engineer
Preventive Maintenance Training
For maintenance engineers responsible for PM scheduling and execution. Duration: 2 to 3 days.
- PM interval planning for each equipment type: daily, monthly, and annual tasks
- Oil analysis: colour, viscosity, odour — when to change, which oil to use
- Oil mist trap service: cleaning, sorbent replacement, filter element replacement
- Gas purge kit service: filter replacement, flow rate verification
- Inlet filter inspection and replacement
- Tip seal condition assessment for CR series scroll pumps
- Turbomolecular pump bearing condition monitoring via controller diagnostics
- Controller parameter review and firmware version logging
- Performance trending: ultimate pressure log and comparison to commissioning acceptance value
- Spare parts stock planning and part number identification
Commissioning and Integration Training
For engineers installing new equipment or integrating ULVAC equipment into new systems. Duration: 1 day per equipment family.
- Mechanical installation requirements: mounting, orientation, vibration isolation, exhaust routing
- Flange connection standards: KF/NW, ISO-K, ISO-F, ConFlat — correct assembly and torque sequence
- Inlet and exhaust pipework design: pipe size, material, pressure drop, oil mist trap placement
- Pump-down sequence and ultimate pressure acceptance test procedure
- Controller wiring: 24V relay outputs, RS232/485 interface, Profibus address configuration
- Gas ballast and purge configuration for process-specific applications
- First-run checklist, performance data recording, and acceptance sign-off
Fault Diagnosis Training
For maintenance and process engineers troubleshooting vacuum system problems. Duration: 2 days. Theory can be delivered remotely; practical sessions require on-site equipment.
- Systematic vacuum system fault isolation: pump, pipework, chamber, or gauge?
- Pressure rise rate measurement and interpretation
- Oil rotary pump diagnostics: high ultimate pressure, oil migration to chamber, oil contamination
- Dry pump diagnostics: purge system, tip seal, and rotor issues
- Turbomolecular pump diagnostics: bearing noise, controller alarms, rotor contamination
- Vacuum gauge diagnostics and calibration verification
- Helium leak detection technique: vacuum method and sniffer method
- RGA spectrum interpretation basics
