Innovative igus cleanroom technology successful on the test rig!
In semiconductor production, components such as energy chains and cables must fulfil the highest requirements in terms of particle release. In order to be able to develop new cleanroom-compatible motion plastics more quickly, Fraunhofer IPA, as development and certification partner, has now designed and realised a customised cleanroom laboratory with an ISO class 1 cleanroom system in Cologne on behalf of igus. With the new laboratory, customer tests and new developments can be carried out in advance under real conditions in the shortest possible time.

During operation, as few particles as possible should be released into the environment. This naturally applies in particular to moving machine elements such as energy chains and cables. Generating as few particles as possible requires high abrasion resistance - and is therefore also an indicator of a long service life. This is a development goal for all igus® products. igus® tests each of its products in extensive and thorough test procedures in its own laboratory. Only products that meet the standards of our laboratory are subjected to the Fraunhofer IPA tests based on them. Proof of this is provided by
expert reports from the IPA, Fraunhofer Institute, which certify igus® with the best possible ISO Class 1 classification for its numerous products
