Lightweight, versatile alternative to corrugated tubes
igus has extended its range of energy supply systems with the introduction of 'e-skin' a lightweight, versatile alternative to conventional corrugated tubes. The easy-to-open hose is suitable for a variety of delicate applications, where demands on the energy supply systems are not particularly high, and can even be used in the clean-room for short unsupported lengths.
"Comprising an upper and lower shell, which when fitted together is completely closed, the e-skin is simple to open and close," says Justin Leonard, director, igus, "which is just one of the many advantages e-skin has to offer compared with corrugated tubes."
Typical applications include pick & place, printers and other machines where corrugated tubes are currently still used. However, due to its abrasion resistance and water and dust-proof offering, e-skin is also cleanroom compatible in accordance with IPA Class 1, and ideal for cleanroom appliances.
