e-chain® for the clean room put to the test

The clean room confronts specially high demands on the abrasion resistance of the moving components. The energy supply systems of the Series E6 and E14 have been tested by the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation (IPA) in the department of clean and micro-production.
The result:
According to VDI 2083 page 8 (clean room capability of equipment), the tested energy supply chains of the Series E6 can be used in travel speeds of v = 1 m/s and v=2 m/s in clean rooms of the ISO Class 3 (according to DINE EN ISO 146441-1). The Series E14 energy chain is suitable for a travel speed of 1 m/s even in clean rooms of the ISO Class 2. Of particular interest in the very convincing result is that the four tested designs are igus® standard versions, not products made of special materials.
This test result offers the potential to supply the best possible product for individual customer requirements with the internationally approved qualification certificate.
