Cleanroom robots
Cleanroom robots are designed for production environments that require a high level of cleanliness and low particle emissions. Such requirements can be found, for example, in the food industry, medical technology or in semiconductor production.
Cleanroom robots from igus are based on DIN EN ISO 14644-1 and DIN EN ISO 14644-14. igus has worked with the Frauenhofer IPA to build a cleanroom on the company premises that meets the required standards. The advantage of a cleanroom laboratory in the centre of production is obvious: igus can test the robots quickly and easily for use in different cleanroom applications and cleanroom classes.
The Cobot ReBeL in the cleanroom test
The ISO cleanroom conformity according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1 and DIN EN ISO 14644-14 of the Cobot ReBeL was tested by simulating a pick-and-place application with a 6-axis model. A laminar air flow box (LAF box) served as a test environment. Particle emissions were measured using a realistic pick-and-place customer application. The measuring point was located below the output of the third axis.
Result: The ReBeL was tested under various loads and speeds, but these had no influence on the classification: ISO cleanroom class 4 out of 9 was always achieved. This means that the robot is often also suitable for areas in which high standards apply, such as food handling or laboratory applications.
