The cable guides for automation systems and robots in display and semiconductor manufacturing and in the production of LCD/LED panels must meet special requirements for freedom from particles. In contrast to commercially available solutions with firmly defined flat cables, where stranding elements are firmly welded, the flat cable guidance system e-skin flat, offers chamber designs that can be opened. Flexible stranding elements, with or without connectors, e-skin® flat with support chains, hoses and so on, can now be exchanged or added in a few minutes.
Modular and flexibly fillable cable guide system
Easy change of cables for newly installed drives, cameras, etc.
Cable replacement in minutes in case of failure, no welded cables
No additional cable harnessing required
Quick and easy maintenance, simple handling
Easy visual inspection of the cables
Individual modules with 1 cable chamber each can be connected to form wider systems
No new ribbon cable required, if a new cable is to be added
No waste in case of replacement, as the entire system does not need to be replaced
Fast delivery
No gluing or fixed configuration, etc. Changes are possible at any time.
No minimum order quantity or surcharge for small quantities
Highest cleanroom classification of the energy supply
High reliability due to specially matched chainflex CFCLEAN stranded structure
Short downtime in case of maintenance or breakage of OEM cables
Tested! Over 50 million double strokes. 36-month guarantee
No need to carry spare cables, saves money and installation space
Maximum availability through simple replacement of defective elements

In this white paper, you will learn how the right energy guidance in the cleanroom can help you:
Since 2003, in new developments of cleanroom products, igus® has been co-operating with the Stuttgart Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation (IPA). The latest achievement of this collaboration: a cleanroom laboratory in Cologne.
Specialising in the development and manufacture of components for automation technology and a leader in the field of rotary indexing tables, the company Weiss GmbH wanted to find a cable lead-through to the middle of a tool whereby the lead-through could hold two sensor cables and two hoses, each with a diameter of four millimetres. The solution: the flat cable guidance system e-skin flat from igus. Service life over 57 million double strokes.
