Application Examples for the E6 and E6.1 Systems

The abrasion-resistant connecting elements replace the conventional bolt/bore connection. This is why E6 and E6.1 are suitable for cleanroom applications. This has been confirmed by the IPA Fraunhofer Institute, ISO Class 1 and 3. The special design of the chain links and the small pitch are the reason why the E6 and E6.1 series are particularly quiet. The new generation of quiet-running and cleanroom-compatible Series E6.1 is extremely low-vibration, abrasion-resistant and cost-effective.

KUKA robot with igus e-chain guides cables and hoses in a pressing plant.

The linear axis at the end of the robot arm significantly increases the reach of the KUKA Cobra. This means that it has to move less during loading and unloading. Good to see here: The E6 energy chain.

Pressing plants: Compact energy supply system on the 7th axis robot

A 7th axis is mounted on the robot arm of the KUKA Cobra, which loads and unloads the presses. This increases the output rate and reduces the distance between the presses.
