cleanroom cable carrier | e-skin® SK

An alternative to conventional corrugated hoses

Advantages of e-skin®

The e-skin is a hose consisting of an upper and lower shell that is fully closed when plugged together. It consists of the specially developed polymer material igumid SK. The simple and re-closable opening mechanism enables easy maintenance and inspection of the installed cables. Operating temperature +10°C / +50°C.

Typical branches of industry and applications: Display and semiconductor manufacturing, pick & place applications, printers, medical technology and all machines where corrugated pipes are used, display and semiconductor manufacturing

Corrugated tube e-skin® benefits

1. cleanroom ISO class 1.
Virtually no wear and abrasion

2. two-part corrugated tube.
Consisting of upper and lower shell

3. attachment from any side.
KMA-Mounting bracket, optionally with strain relief

4. oval geometry.
Protection against unintentional lateral movement

5. completely closed.
Dust and water protected

6. re-closable opening mechanism.
Opening and closing by zip opening principle

7. optional vertical separation.
Consisting of individual dividers and shelves

8. minimization of abrasion
With the new inner divider made of tribo-optimized iglidur® material, wear can be reduced by up to 80 %

Technical details

1.  Mounting brackets: structurally stable, with integrated strain relief
2.  Small installation space: small bend radii
3.  Unsupported application due to stop-dogs on the upper shell of the e-skin®
4.  Cleanroom ISO Class 1: virtually no wear or abrasion
5.  Cable-friendly: defined minimum bend radius
6.  Easy assembly: upper and lower shell can be opened for easy filling

Tested in the igus® test laboratory for use in the real world

Continuous test

Developed for cleanroom applications, the e-skin® SK has been tested under real conditions with 6.4 million double strokes at 3m/s in the laboratory.

Bending test

The standard bending tests show how flexible the e-skin® soft is. It only bends, even under loads that would break other energy chains.

Noise level measurement

This test shows how quiet 'e-skin' corrugated tubes and 'e-skin® flat' cleanroom cables are. Compared to flat ribbon cables of competitors, the noise level of the e-skin® flat is only 29dB(A).
