igus Unveils e-skin flat Configurator for Cleanroom Cable Systems

Cleanrooms in microchip and semiconductor production are defined by particle-free environments and space limitations. To facilitate cable guidance in these conditions, igus has developed the e-skin flat. The new e-skin flat configurator simplifies the design of flat cable guide systems in cleanrooms, reducing the previously manual process to just a few minutes. Users can configure a complete system, have it filled automatically, and instantly download a technical drawing and parts list. The e-skin flat, suitable for dry cleanrooms, has also earned the "Best of Industry Award 2025" in the battery development and production category.
Designing a cable guide system for cleanrooms, or clean cable, is complex, involving numerous requirements, cable selection, and technical drawings. This process previously required expert knowledge and considerable time. igus addresses this challenge with the new e-skin flat configurator. Users can design a flat cable guide system in minutes. "The online tool is the first of its kind, guiding users step-by-step through system design, checking feasibility, and immediately providing all relevant data," says Kira Weller, Product Manager e-chains and cleanroom expert at igus. "This ensures planning security without delays or time-consuming coordination." The e-skin flat offers a clean, flat, and abrasion-resistant system made from high-performance plastic. With easily accessible chamber systems, cables and hoses can be quickly replaced during maintenance. It meets EN ISO Class 1 standards according to DIN 14644-1, making it suitable for the highest cleanroom classifications.

Automatic filling for optimal results 
To configure the e-skin flat with the online tool: First, users input application parameters such as speed, acceleration, and travel. Environmental factors, installation space, and offset centre-fixed systems can also be specified. Next, users select the cable from igus’s extensive chainflex cable pool, including readycables with connectors, prioritising those suitable for the e-skin flat system. Users can also add their own cables. The tool automatically fills the system. An algorithm evaluates the product data and customer parameters, recommending the best solution based on predefined rules. The tool will also alert users if a configuration is not feasible. Manual adjustments can be made at any time.

From configuration to quotation request 
All relevant data, including technical drawings, parts lists, and installation instructions, are immediately available for download on the results page. Users can also download a STEP file. If satisfied with the design, users can request a quotation, after which igus experts will conduct a final system check. "We wanted to make the cleanroom cable guide system configuration process as simple as possible," says Weller. "The e-skin flat configurator provides a complete package that allows customers to continue their design work immediately. With intelligent automation, we significantly reduce manual workloads and enhance planning reliability." The e-skin flat has now received the "Best of Industry Award 2025" from MM MaschinenMarkt in the battery development and production category. "We are thrilled to receive this award, which motivates us to further develop in this area," Weller adds.
