igus e-skin corrugated tube for clean rooms

The production of microchips, flat screens, implants, pharmaceutical products or micro- and nano-products would be inconceivable without a clean, pure or high-purity manufacturing environment. Any contamination has a direct negative impact on products and processes and results in high costs for the manufacturer. Motion plastics company igus has developed a corrugated tube for energy supply in clean rooms that it calls the the e-skin. It has been approved as a Fraunhofer Tested Device of the ISO class 1 and received second prize in the Fraunhofer clean technology award ‘Clean! 2018’.

The e-skin is made of tribologically optimised, abrasion-resistant plastic. The separable upper and lower shells can be easily put together by a ‘zipper’ to create a fully enclosed tube that is highly dustproof and water resistant. This guarantees both cleanroom compatibility and a quick filling and maintenance of the cables. The assembly-friendly e-skin is also light and suitable for small installation spaces, eg, in pick-and-place applications. It can be used for short unsupported distances due to the stiffness of the material, the rib profile and a defined direction of motion.
