FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What makes SABclean CATLine suitable for ISO 14644-1 Class 1 semiconductor wafer fabs?
Standard PVC or PUR drag-chain cables shed sub-micron abrasion dust during flexing and outgas plasticizers, phthalates, or siloxanes that condense on EUV/DUV wafer optics. SABclean CATLine uses a non-talc, matte low-friction cleanroom elastomer certified to ISO 14644-1 Class 1 (≤ 10 particles of ≥ 0.1 µm per m³) and ISO 14644-8 ultra-low TVOC outgassing.
What is the difference between CATLine S and CATLine R?
CATLine S ('Schleppkette') features a tightly braided tinned copper screen optimized for linear horizontal/vertical drag chains (≥ 10 million cycles), whereas CATLine R ('Robot') uses a spiral/helical screen and low-friction PTFE wrap engineered for ±180°/m 3D multi-axis robotic torsion.
Can SABclean CATLine withstand cleanroom hydrogen peroxide (VHP) and isopropanol wipe-downs?
Yes. The cross-linked/thermoplastic halogen-free cleanroom outer sheath resists 70 % isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipe-downs and vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) biodecontamination in ISO Class 1–5 pharmaceutical and biotech suites.
Why are 19-wire conductors (AWG 26/19 or 24/19) used instead of 7-wire conductors?
19-wire concentric stranding distributes bending strain across much finer individual copper filaments, tripling flex fatigue life in tight 7.5 × OD wafer-handler energy chains.
