Energy chains for cleanroom applications

For almost 20 years, igus® has been among the frontrunners of energy supply systems in cleanrooms. igus® supplies a wide range of IPA-tested energy chains that enable a machine-specific energy supply in cleanrooms and are easy to install. As the quality requirements demanded by customers and by test standards for cleanroom technology are constantly growing, igus® is continuously working on improving its products. In order to be able to respond even faster to customer requirements, igus® has built a cleanroom laboratory for the rapid development of particle-free motion plastics together with the Fraunhofer IPA Institute. The laboratory is suitable for cleanrooms up to class 1 air purity according to ISO 14644-1.

During operation, as few particles as possible should be released into the environment. This naturally applies in particular to moving machine elements such as energy chains and cables. Generating as few particles as possible requires high abrasion resistance - and is therefore also an indicator of a long service life. This is a development goal for all igus® products. igus® tests each of its products in extensive and thorough test procedures in its own laboratory. Only products that meet the standards of our laboratory are subjected to the Fraunhofer IPA tests based on them. Proof of this is provided by
expert reports from the IPA, Fraunhofer Institute, which certify igus® with the best possible ISO Class 1 classification for its numerous products
