Video demonstrates quick-change cleanroom cables

IGUS'S MODULAR e-skin flat energy chain system is intended for high speed applications and allows for individual cables to be replaced quickly and easily.

The modular system for high-speed applications from Igus allows individual cables to be replaced quickly and easily. The E-skin Flat simply sheds its skin to reveal the cable that needs replacing, replace and close.
The E-skin Flat single pods consist of individually connectable cable chambers. One or more cables can be inserted into these chambers. Here at least two chambers must be connected with each other.
There are closed versions and openable versions. With the openable version, the chambers can be opened and closed with a zipper closure.
One chamber is closed or opened at a time and extended with further chambers until the required width is reached. For the closed single profile SKF12C, a support chain SKF.S.080.070.0 is available, which equips the E-Skin Flat with an unsupported length and the defined radius of 70mm. This support chain must only be used in connection with this single profile.
