e-skin® flat | cable guidance system for cleanrooms
Modular principle for ISO class 1 applications
The cable guides for automation systems and robots in display and semiconductor manufacturing must meet special particle-free requirements. Unlike common solutions that use defined flat ribbon cables, in which stranded elements are firmly fixed, the e-skin flat cable guide system is designed with an openable chamber. Flexible stranded elements, with or without connectors, that support chains, hoses, and cables can now be replaced or added in a few minutes.
e-skin® flat advantages
- Modular and compact design
- Replace cables quickly
- IPA classification: Report IG2102-1212 - EN ISO Class 1 to DIN 14644-1 for e-skin® flat
- UL-certified complete system
- High reliability due to coordinated stranded structure CFCLEAN
- Available from stock
Versions and sizes
Why use the flat cable guide system e-skin® flat and CFCLEAN?
In combination with the stranded structure CFCLEAN
- No bending of the system due to stiff jacket cables
- Low reset forces due to soft strand structure
- Up to 21% weight reduction compared to conventional cables
- Approx. 18% smaller diameter of the stranding elements compared to commercially available jacketed cables
- CFCLEAN relieves the linear carriage and reduces the required drive energy
- Tested for 80 million cycles
Technical advantages
- NEW: UL certified complete system - certificate recognized worldwide
- Can be widened at will, grows with the user's requirements
- Multi-layer model possible
- Stackable, width-variable mounting brackets available
- Fast, flexible exchange of the filling
- Flexible standard modular system
- No special production
- 9dB(A) quieter than standard flat ribbon cables
- 20% more cost-effective than commercially available cleanroom ribbon cables

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes, we tested the closed version of the SKF series in the Fraunhofer IPA test center of semiconductor devices on the basis of ISO class 14644-1 and obtained ISO Class 1 certification.
A: There are two options: One is PVC and the other is nano-F-coated TPE.
A: Only unsupported but please contact us and we will find a solution!
A: The mounting brackets are made from aluminum. Strain relief for the cables is made from a TPE profile.
A: That depends on your application but, normally, igus® products have been tested for 10 million double strokes.
A: Tools are not neccesary as the e-skin® flat is easy to open by hand thanks to the zipper.
A: Yes, this can be done by adding a new mounting bracket.
A: Because our SKF12.x.02 can be easily opened, you can change the cables very quickly.
