First Claim
Patent Images
1. Method for controlling or regulating a vacuum valve, comprising:
- providing a valve body with a valve opening, a closing member that can be moved between an open position and a closed position for closing the vacuum valve and that closes the valve opening in the closed position, wherein at least one elastic seal is pressed with a pressing force onto a seal face, an actuator for moving the closing member, and a control device by which the actuator is triggered and by which the pressing force acting on the elastic seal in the closed position of the closing member is set, andsetting the pressing force acting on the elastic seal face as a function of at least one parameter that can be input by a user.

Abstract
A method for controlling or regulating a vacuum valve that includes a valve body (1) with a valve opening (2), a closing member (3), an actuator (5) for moving the closing member (3), and a control device (9) by which the actuator (5) is triggered and by which the pressing force acting on the elastic seal (4) in the closed position of the closing member (3) is set. The setting of the pressing force acting on the elastic seal (4) is performed as a function of at least one parameter that can be input by a user.
