C6 energy chain system for cleanroom applications

Highest cleanroom suitability, hardly any abrasion & high strength

Abrasion resistance is the decisive parameter for energy chain applications in the cleanroom. The C6 series energy chain sets standards here. The abrasion is barely measurable. It could hardly be better: no abrasion can be measured on the new cleanroom energy chain C6, even under high loads. Other advantages include extremely quiet running and simple installation.

Typical areas of application: Electrical manufacturing, semiconductor industry, FPD production, microelectronics, panel robots, packaging, plotters, medical technology

Tech up

Optimised design without any measurable abrasion
For ISO Cleanroom Class 1 applications
High strength due to tough double stop-dog system
Very quiet operation due to injection-moulded dampening element
Side parts made of ESD material to prevent static buildup

Cost down

Long service life due to low life cycle costs
Easy and therefore cost-saving installation
Made of igumid ESD (side parts) and iglidur J (crossbars and interior separation) as standard

Proof

Abrasion/cable tests in the igus® laboratory. The iglidur® J material produces 77% less abrasion*

*Measured and averaged in use with five different friction partners:

CF340.250.01 2) CF270.UL.350.01.D 3) CF886.350.01
CAPE.A.10.0 5) CAPU.A10.0 compared to the standard material igumid® G
