igus® motion plastics® for electronics manufacturing
Clean room applicable ... space-saving ... low-noise
For almost 20 years, igus® has been among the frontrunners for energy supply systems in clean rooms. igus® offers a wide assortment of IPA-tested e-chains®, chainflex® cables and drylin® linear bearings that enables straightforward assembly, machine-specific movements and energy supplies in clean rooms. Since the quality requirements for cleanroom technology applications are constantly growing, both, in terms of customer expectations as well as testing standards, igus® is continuously working on improving its products.
And since igus® dry-tech® products work completely lubrication-free, they are the ideal ex-works solution for applications where cleanliness is the top priority.

... Super-light energy guide ... e-skin®
e-skin® is a hose consisting of an upper and lower shell that form a complete enclosure when connected together. The simple and reclosable opening mechanism enables easy maintenance and inspection of the installed cables. Speeds of 20 m/s and accelerations of 200 m/s2

... lubrication-free ... efficient ... in 5 materials
Linear robots are a combination of several linear axes in order to implement a multidimensional movement. igus® supplies flat, linear and room linear robots for a multitude of different tasks. igus® linear robots include harnessed drylin® linear modules/axes with NEMA stepper motors as well as all the components needed to build your own robot.
Lead screw systems are machine elements that convert rotary movement into linear motion. drylin® lead screw systems are always based on self-lubricating plastic nuts, thus enabling long-lasting operation without external lubrication. The lead screw (trapezoidal thread or high helix thread) remains dry during operation and thus offers many technical advantages.

Further products for electronics manufacturing
igus® tests each of its products in elaborate and careful test procedures in its own laboratory. Only what meets the standards of our laboratory is subjected to the Fraunhofer IPA tests based on them.
The evidence is supplied by a new expert's report from IPA, the Fraunhofer Institute, by which numerous igus® products are certified with the best classification possible, ISO Class 1:
System E6.1
After 10 successful years as a cleanroom and “whisper“ chain, the new generation is in the starting blocks. Aside from the tried-and-tested uses of the E6, the new "System E6.1" generation offers additional advantages which significantly simplify operation.
System E3
Three-piece e-chain® with many new ideas - the igus® system E3 combines small pitch, silent operation, low noise, stability, simple installation and cost efficiency.
ESD & ATEX - e-chains®
e-chains® for avoiding static charges during the manufacturing processes for electronic components or assemblies (ESD) and for avoiding the build-up of ignitable charges in explosive environments (ATEX).
Clean room applicable cables
Highly flexible, with a guarantee of 36 months or 10 million double strokes for high speeds and accelerations as well as challenging ambient conditions. With norms and guidelines such as NFPA 79, UL, CSA, VDE, Interbus and Profibus.
Clean room applicable linear systems
All drylin® linear guides are designed for dry operation and have been tested under this condition. No oils or fats were used as additional lubricants.
iglidur® F2 ESD-compatible
iglidur® F2 helps to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges. Good resistance to media and temperature, the ability to use even in damp surroundings due to low moisture absorbency plus good universal coefficients of wear result in a wide application spectrum.
Application examples for electronics manufacturing
energy chains for microassembly
Extreme demands on availability and durability
Positioning systems for electronics manufacturing
Low vibration, quiet, and low wear
Clean room technology
No wear in the igus® energy supply system even in endurance tests. In a travel of 290 mm, a number of 50-60 cycles per hour is attained mostly in the three-shift operation.
Vibration reducing
The special structure of the chain link and the small division grant an extremely quiet and low-vibration operation of the chain.
Wafer handling
One igus® e-chain® of the E6 family accelerates the work sequences in the case of this application for wafer handling in the chip production industry.
Cables in high-speed use
Moving cables in high-speed use - igus energy chain systems in Hekuma plants
Pick-and-place machine
Cables for 400 million strokes in ultra-fast pick-and-place movements.
Circuit board assembler
17 million cycles per year – chainflex® cables for PCB assembly machine.
Tested and classified
Test results
The Fraunhofer Institute IPA has tested several igus® energy chains series according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1. In this way, precise statements on the cleanroom application potentials of almost all popular igus® e-chain® systems are available now.
ISO class 1
All products used in clean rooms need to fulfil the same requirement: During operation, as few particles as possible should be emitted into the surrounding area. This is especially applicable for moving machine parts. To generate as less particles as possible, high abrasion resistance is called for - and is thereby also an indicator for long service life.
igus® test lab
igus® has been running an extensive test lab for over 20 years in which currently 700 tests are carried out simultaneously in an area covering 2,750 m², making it the largest test lab for flexible cables.
