"Pure" world premiere: predictive maintenance recommendations in the cleanroom
i.Cee EC.S - the new ultrasonic sensor on the e-skin® flat system enables real-time condition-based information as well as maintenance recommendations for best overall equipment effectiveness in the cleanroom.
Tech up
- Maximum e-skin® service life extension
- Increased cleanroom overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
- Easy integration into the overarching machine network/IoT environment
Cost down
- Maintenance cost reduction thanks to predictive maintenance recommendations
- Avoidance of unplanned downtime thanks to condition-based alarm messages
- No unnecessary storage costs for expensive cleanroom materials
Proof
- Tested in the igus cleanroom laboratory and suitable for cleanrooms up to Air Purity Class 1 according to ISO 14644-1
- Over 100 successful i.Cee predictive maintenance projects in the field.
Sustainability
- Use cleanroom components to their latest possible end of life without premature replacement
- Avoid resource-intensive emergency operations

energy chains
Energy chains in a cleanroom environment have to be especially abrasion-resistant as airborne particles above the strict limits specified in standards are released and can contaminate the cleanroom.
e-chains for cleanroom applications
Cables and hoses
Pneumatic hoses and various cables with IPA ISO class 1 and 2 - also available ready for connection, suitable for Bosch Rexroth, Festo, Parker, Siemens and many other manufacturers.
Flexible cables for cleanrooms
linear guides
In our product range of dry-operating linear guide systems, we offer four models that are certified for use in ISO class 6 to 3 cleanrooms.

Slewing ring bearings
The sliding elements of PRT-04-100 made of iglidur J minimise particle emissions, so they can be used in cleanroom applications.

Since the i.Sense Wonderbox is part of the smart plastics i.Sense condition monitoring system, all of its data can also be evaluated in the i.Cee control cabinet module. These data can then be used to digitally control the system's alarm and escalation management.
The i.Cee module can be integrated into predictive maintenance concepts in a number of ways, from preventive service management, which schedules regular maintenance depending on use, to location-independent fault management, which immediately reports any unforeseen change via various mobile channels. All information is collated in a modern dashboard, online or offline in the local network, depending on the customer's requirements.
