ESD-safe 'Energy Chains' now quieter and smoother in operation
The System E6 range of cable carriers has been added to igus' range of
ESD conductive Energy Chains. System E6 is claimed to be smoother running
and quieter in operation, thanks to a short pitch and link design, which
makes it suitable for vibration-sensitive applications such as printing
machines, measuring equipment and precision cutting systems.
A key benefit of System E6 is its permanent conductivity. A plastic flex
tab, rather than the traditional pin and bore, connects the chain links -
an arrangement that ensures a completely wear-resistant electrical and
mechanical connection, for long term, constant conductivity.
In common with the System E4 family of ESD Energy chains, E6 meets the
requirements of SEMI E78-0998, the international materials and
maintenance resource for critical environment applications, such as
semiconductor and electronics production, and current ATEX regulations.
