ESD energy chains
Energy chains made of conductive ESD material are used to avoid static charge in manufacturing processes for electronic components or assemblies. Measurements of the electrical surface leakage resistance for igus energy chains with the special material igumid GC, were made back in 1992 by igus GmbH together with the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische-Bundesanstalt) in Braunschweig, supplemented by additional certifications in 1998 and 1999 according to DIN 53482, and the guidelines for static electricity ZH1/200 of the Federation of Trade Associations.

NEW: ESD parts for energy chains from the 3D printer
With the new iglidur I8-ESD laser sintering powder, electrostatically conductive components with increased rigidity and abrasion resistance can now be manufactured. Parts printed in 3D made of ESD material are ideally suited for, e.g. special mounting brackets or further accessories for energy chains, if only small batch sizes are required.
