Certified for cleanroom environments
25 October 2016
After successful tests in accordance with VDI 2083 Part 9.1, the international industrial guideline concerning the various functions and measures of cleanroom technologies, Universal Robots’ lightweight collaborative robot arms and accompanying controller boxes have been awarded the certification for cleanroom applications by TÜV SÜD.

In compliance with the industrial norm ISO 14644-1, the robots UR3, UR5 and UR10 are now authorised for the global use in cleanroom environments of the cleanroom class ISO 5. The controller box, in turn, has received authorisation for cleanroom class ISO 6.
The controller box may be upgraded for deployment in cleanrooms requiring the class ISO 5 with a few technical modifications. In the Federal Standard 209E, often referenced in the USA, ISO 5 and ISO 6 are the equivalent of class 100 and class 1000 respectively.
