Customer application examples

Linear system with air bearings for highly precise adjustments

An e-skin® flat SKF12.4.03.01.1 as a 4-fold layer together with PVC & TPE cables from igus ensures the reliable energy supply of an air bearing linear system.

e-skin flat guides cables in an automated system.

Cables for the cleanroom, with over 31 million cycles a year

The energy supply in these volume pattern generator systems must run absolutely smoothly in the cleanroom despite continuous operation.
The solution: the e-skin flat

Semiconductor automation system

E6 and E14 series energy chains are used in the production of the Fixload semiconductor automation system. For the sensitive application area of the load interface for 300mm wafer processing equipment, clean air is required. The e-chains® meet the requirements: they are wear-resistant and suitable for cleanrooms of IPA ISO class 2 and 3.
