Clean SCARA cable solution

17 October 2023

NEW FROM igus is an energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms: the Clean SCARA Cable Solution consists of tribologically optimised high-performance plastics and works in almost particle-free conditions specified to ISO class 2 even in high-speed applications. The system is also highly stable and user-friendly compared to classic corrugated hoses.

In highly regulated and controlled cleanroom conditions, tiny particles that are invisible to the naked eye can ruin electronic components, semiconductors and displays, so it is important that machines and systems are as low-friction as possible and do not contaminate the ambient air.

At the heart of the new cleanroom energy supply system is the e-skin soft, a modular energy chain that guides cables and hoses in an arc from the vertical arm of the robot to the end effector. Its flexible upper and lower shells can be joined together to form a closed, dustproof, and waterproof tube – ensuring that particles from the pipes and hoses do not enter the ambient air from the inside. The e-chain itself is also particularly abrasion-resistant due to tribologically optimised high-performance plastic.
