e-skin
The modular system for high-speed applications allows individual cables to be replaced quickly and easily. The e-skin® flat simply sheds its skin to reveal the cable that needs replacing, replace and close. It is that simple. To see how simple the system really is, view this week’s video of the week https://youtu.be/AfL0Eln2z7U For more information […]
The award-winning, modular alternative to ribbon cable proves its particle-free qualities in Fraunhofer cleanroom test. In clean room environments such as laboratories, energy chains required to manage cables and hoses safely must be particle-free. igus has developed the e-skin flat, an economical alternative to ribbon cables due to its modular design. Proof that the energy […]
Fraunhofer Purity Technology Award goes to the particle-free and compact “e-skin” flat cable guide Electronics manufacturing demands high purity manufacturing environments and requires particle-free machine elements in clean rooms to ensure product quality. The Fraunhofer Institute in Germany recognises innovative developments in clean manufacturing every two years with the REINER! Award. Motion plastics specialist igus […]
Plastics expert igus has developed the world’s first ‘e-skin flat’ single pod – designed specifically to guide cables in compact and particle-free cleanrooms. To ensure quick and easy installation customers can use the e-skin flat to select and combine chambers and then insert the cables in seconds. There is also the option of a new […]
24th April, 2020 The e-skin energy chain system provides cleanroom equipment with data, power and media without unwanted particles contaminating the air, as proven by the Fraunhofer Institute IPA. All three e-skin energy chain types, with and without cables, have ISO Class 1 certification, which is the ‘cleanest’ classification. In the test conducted by the […]
Whether in handling applications or in laboratory equipment, where there is movement, energy chains are widely used to protect and guide cables and hoses. In the medical industry, however, higher demands are placed on the components, which must all run very smoothly and quietly, be cleanroom-compatible, media-resistant and corrosion-free and of hygienic design. In this […]
September 3rd, 2019 With the e-skin flat and the e-skin soft, igus offers two new space-saving energy chain systems for use in cleanroom applications. Developed for tight installation spaces on short, self-supporting travels, e-skin soft is made of a softer material than the standard e-skin. As the name suggests, e-skin flat is for very flat […]
