Clean ribbon cable e-skin® flat
For cleanroom applications: IPA tested, ISO Class 1 certified, particle-free guaranteed
The clean flat ribbon cable e-skin flat is a flat cable guidance system made of high-performance plastic that shows no visible wear and tear and is abrasion-resistant. The cable guides for automation systems and robots in display and semiconductor manufacturing and in the production of LCD/LED panels must meet special requirements for freedom from particles.
This is because any contamination with particles as small as 0.0001mm has a damaging effect on the product and the process. In contrast to customary solutions available on the market with firmly defined ribbon cables, where stranding elements are firmly fused, the e-skin flat ribbon cable offers chamber systems that can be opened. In just a few minutes, flexible stranding elements -with or without connectors-, e-skin® flat with support chains, hoses, etc., can be exchanged or added.

Benefits: Increase overall equipment effectiveness and achieve higher yields
Change cables in minutes in case of failure, no fused cables. Easy visual inspection of the cables.
Individual modules can be connected to form wider systems. In the event of damage, only individual elements can be replaced.
IPA classification: EN ISO Class 1 according to DIN 14644-1, Report IG2102-1212, UL-certified complete system and winner of the Reiner award 2021.
Over 81 million double strokes and with up to 4-year guarantee. Tested with the utmost care in our own cleanroom laboratory and by the Fraunhofer Institute.
Thanks to the specially coordinated chainflex CFCLEAN stranded structure. No bending of the system due to stubborn jacketed cables and no reset forces.
Delivery with no minimum order quantity without any minimum quantity surcharge. No gluing or fixed configuration, etc. Changes are possible at any time. Configure ribbon cable now.

How many layers can be built on top of each other?
We currently recommend up to six layers on top of each other. However, the mounting bracket that holds the layers together should nevertheless not be higher than it is wide.
Which cables can I use?
For high reliability, we recommend using chainflex CFCLEAN stranded structures as well as other igus cable types.
How long can the ribbon cable be routed?
With the SKF.S e-skin® flat with support chain, it enables an unsupported travel of up to 3m.
What is the available installation space?
We currently offer installation space from 80mm.
How can I quickly find the right e-skin flat ribbon cable?
With our e-skin flat online configurator you can quickly put together your own ribbon cable with cables using drag & drop.
Is it possible to replace and add cables?
Yes, with our SKF12O ribbon cable that can be opened, cables can be quickly replaced and added.
