Cleanroom products up to ISO Class 1

Whether in a display robot or in pick-and-place applications in semiconductor manufacturing and microelectronics:
igus offers components for every cleanroom that bring Tech up and Cost down

In the case of cleanrooms, the requirements regarding the abrasion-resistance of moving components are especially high, as every contamination impairs products and processes. This costs money. We develop and test our high-performance polymer products in our in-house cleanroom laboratory with utmost care. Moreover, in order to provide solid attestation that our products are ideal for use in cleanrooms, the Fraunhofer Institute subjects them to further tests. This enables a broad product portfolio with the best possible cleanroom classification (ISO Class 1).

Advantages of our cleanroom products:

Save installation space and weight
Low noise and low vibration
Fast delivery and easy assembly
Easily openable e-chains for quick cable replacement
Tested and proven long service life with guarantee: 50 million double strokes
Chains, cables and connectors available individually from batch size 1 - or as a complete system from a single source

... predictive maintenance in cleanroom with i.Cee EC.S

In this cleanroom highlight, the smart ultrasonic sensor technology is used to continuously monitor the current sag of the e-skin® flat with support chain. The e-skin® flat with support chain SKF.S is equipped with a defined bend radius and therefore enables unsupported lengths in cleanrooms. As soon as a critical condition of the energy supply system can be detected, predictive maintenance recommendations are issued.

Cleanroom tests in accordance with ISO 14644-14 for the rapid development of products for customers

In order to be able to develop new motion plastics that are suitable for use in cleanrooms, the Fraunhofer IPA, working as a development and certification partner on behalf of igus, has designed and built a tailor-made cleanroom laboratory with an ISO Class 1 cleanroom system in Cologne.
In the new laboratory, we can carry out customer tests and new developments in advance under real conditions within a very short time.

Cleanroom application example semiconductors

Energy supply systems in semiconductor manufacturing

For producing the Fixload, pure air is required. This is due to the very sensitive application area of the load interface for 300mm wafer processing equipment in semiconductor manufacturing. As the wafers to be processed are unprotected and exposed to their surroundings during loading, the technical equipment must not produce any particles.
Therefore, an abrasion-resistant energy supply is used, which is suitable for cleanrooms of ISO Class 3 (according to DIN EN ISO 146441-1).

Questions & answers regarding cleanroom technology products

Do the cleanroom products meet the increasing demands?
Since the quality requirements for cleanroom technology applications as well as those on the part of the customers and test standards are constantly growing, igus® is continuously working on improving its products. For this purpose, igus has been carrying out tests for cleanroom suitability in its own test laboratory since 1997. In addition, appropriate products are tested externally by the Fraunhofer Institute.

Are igus bearings suitable for cleanrooms?
The cleanroom suitability of our iglidur plain bearings is determined on the basis of the wear particles released in the application. The size and quantity of the released wear particles depend on:

the respective pairing of shaft and bearing material
further parameters such as load, speed etc.

Therefore, there are no clearly defined cleanroom materials for our plain bearings, but instead they depend on their use. Our experts will be happy to help you choose the right material (contact form).
