System E6 - 2nd Generation ESD Chains without pin and bores, longterm conductivity guaranteed
For many years, safety in hazardous areas and ESD protection in sensitive production areas have been given high priority at igus®. Since 1992, energy chains have been manufactured from our special "GC" material. Certified 12 years ago by PTB (German federal office for Physics and Technology), the material was modified in 2002. In spite of homogenous conductivity of the material, common pin/bore design chains can hardly maintain their conductivity within normed conductivity tolerances in the long term.
Constant long term conductivity values
No contact surface wear
Proven standard product, now also conductive Cycle life in lab test ≥10 Million cycles (more upon request)
Underlies heightened QC procedures, with and without mounting brackets and in various install modes
IPA Fraunhofer institute certifies "Level 1" discharge performance, acc. to SEMI E78-0998 ESD, even for off-the-shelf standard E6 material.
