C6 e-chain® system for cleanroom applications

Highest cleanroom suitability, hardly any abrasion & high strength

Abrasion-resistance is the most important parameter for e-chain® applications in cleanrooms. The C6 range of e-chains® sets the standards in this field. During testing, no abrasion can be measured when the new C6 cleanroom e-chain® is used, even under high loads. Additionally, this line of cable carriers is extremely quiet during operation and easy to install.

Typical application areas: Electrical manufacturing, semiconductor industry, FPD production, microelectronics, panel robots, packaging, plotters, medical technology

Tech up

Optimized design without any measurable abrasion
For ISO Cleanroom Class 1 applications
High strength and stability due to robust double stop-dog system
Very quiet operation due to injection-molded dampening element
Side parts made of ESD material to prevent static charge

Cost down

Long service life due to low life cycle costs
Easy, cost-saving installation
Made of igumid ESD (side parts) and iglide® J (crossbars and interior separation) as standard

Proof

Abrasion/cable tests in the igus® laboratory. The iglide® J material produces 77% less abrasion*

Sustainability

Uses less resources due to long service life
Have your e-chain® recycled at the end of its life cycle with the igus® chainge® recycling program.
