All permanent magnet ECR ion sources have many advantages over traditional ECR ion sources composed of several axial room temperature solenoids and one permanent magnet hexapole magnet, which make them the first choice for many heavy ion facilities and platforms. At IMP, three types of all permanent magnet ECR ion sources have been built for different applications, i.e. the very compact ECR ion source LAPECR1 for intense mono or multi charge state ion beam production, the LAPECR2 ion source installed on the 320 kV high voltage multidisciplinary platform, and the LAPECR3 ion source dedicated to C5+ beam production for the cancer therapy facility. In this paper, after a general discussion of the ion sources' design, the applications and the operation status of the IMP all permanent magnet ECR ion sources will be presented.
