C6 energy chain system for cleanroom applications

Cleanroom energy chain C6

Highest cleanroom suitability, hardly any abrasion & high strength

Abrasion-resistance is the decisive parameter for energy chain applications in cleanrooms. The C6 range of energy chains is setting new standards here. The abrasion is barely measurable. This is the best outcome: no abrasion can be measured when the new C6 cleanroom energy chain is used, even under high loads. Further advantages are extremely quiet operation and easy installation.The series offering the highest cleanroom requirements is now available in three inner heights: 29, 38 and 53mm. Optimised with the crossbars every link design in the outer radius and as standard with crossbars plus interior separation made of iglidur® J, the best glide surface for any cable jacket or hose material. The side links made of tribo-optimised low-wear ESD material for dissipative side bands are also standard.Typical application areas: Electrical manufacturing, semiconductor industry, FPD production, microelectronics, panel robots, packaging, plotters, medical technology

Tech up

Tech up

  • Optimised design without any measurable abrasion
  • For ISO Cleanroom Class 1 applications
  • High strength due to tough double stop-dog system
  • Very quiet operation due to injection-moulded dampening element
  • Side parts made of ESD material to prevent static charge
Cost down

Cost down

  • Long service life due to low life cycle costs
  • Easy and therefore cost-saving installation
  • Made of igumid ESD (side parts) and iglidur J (crossbars and interior separation) as standard
  • No static charge thanks to tribo-optimised ESD side links
Proof

Proof

  • Abrasion/cable tests in the igus® laboratory. The iglidur® J material produces 77% less abrasion*
*Measured and averaged on five different friction partners:
1) CF340.250.01 2) CF270.UL.350.01.D 3) CF886.350.01
4) CAPE.A.10.0 5) CAPU.A10.0 compared to the standard material igumid G
Sustainability

Sustainability

  • No contamination of production items in the cleanroom by particles
  • Uses less resource due to long service life
  • Have your energy chain recycled at the end of its life cycle with the igus chainge recycling program. No matter what manufacturer.

Tests in the igus laboratory

Cleanroom test laboratory Continuous cleanroom tests were performed in the IPA-certified igus cleanroom laboratory during the development process to find a solution that will meet the increasing cleanroom requirements.
Abrasion test Various sliding surfaces are tested and evaluated for abrasion.
