THE alternative to PTFE trackless cables: stranded structure CFCLEAN with e-skin flat

Modular ►Cable change in a few minutes ►Cost-effective ►Sustainable


The e-skin® flat cable guidance system, in combination with the CFCLEAN chainflex solution, represents a logical further development of the commercially available PTFE trackless cables for cable guidance. This is found primarily in flat panel display (FPD) and semiconductor production and also in the production of OLEDs and medical technology. The strengths of the PTFE trackless cables have been improved and the disadvantages eliminated. The e-skin® flat guidance system is the result of this further development work.

System design in comparison
 

e-skin® flat cable guidance system

e-skin flat with stranded elements

  • Highly abrasion-resistant welded film to protect the stranded elements and minimise abrasion
  • No outer jacket in order to reduce weight and outer diameter
  • Extremely flexurally resistant braiding of copper wires with 90% optical coverage for maximum electromagnetic compatibility
  • Special TPE insulation for highly dynamic applications
  • Special strand structure for maximum service life
     
e-skin® flat cable guidance system

Trackless cables (ribbon cables)

  • Multi-layer jacket that holds individual stranded cores together:
    • Thin PTFE outer film
    • PUR inner layer
    • Thin PTFE outer film
  • An enclosed, non-separable system
  • Stranded cores are inseparable from each other
  • Individual elements not interchangeable, but entire systems
