Upper and lower parts of the ultra-light e-skin join together
immediately to make a sealed, cleanroom-compatible and unsupported energy
supply system (source: igus GmbH).
With the
e-skin, igus has developed a modular corrugated tube which is not only
extremely easy to open, but unlike comparable energy supply products, also
provides an unsupported operation in the smallest installation spaces. Now the
motion plastics specialist has won the strict IPA ISO Class 1 certification for
the product, this gives customers maximum safety for applications in cleanroom
environments.
Absolute air purity is essential in
many industries, especially in production, in the medical and pharmaceutical
technology, semiconductor industry, aerospace technology, nano technology and
measurement technology. Any contamination in cleanroom conditions has a direct
damaging impact on products and processes and costs a lot of money. The e-skin
from igus is used in the area of energy supply and provides a safe, robust and
flexible supply of systems with data, media and energy without generating
airborne particles above the narrow limit, which can contaminate the room.
Enclosed structures and abrasion resistance for clean production
Design and material of the e-skin
have enabled the acquisition of the IPA ISO Class 1 certification through the
Fraunhofer Institute. The corrugated tube is made up of tribologically
optimised, abrasion-resistant plastic and its separable upper and lower shells
can be easily put together by a "zipper" to a fully enclosed tube,
which is highly dust-proof and water-resistant. This simultaneously guarantees
its cleanroom suitability as well as a quick filling and maintenance of the cables.
The assembly-friendly
e-skin is also extremely light and ideal for small installation spaces, for
instance in pick & place applications.
Due to the stiffness of the material, the rib profile and a defined
direction of motion, it is even applicable for short unsupported distances,
unlike other corrugated hoses. Interior separation is also
available as an option.
