Gore expands capacity for clean cables

W.L. Gore & Associates (Gore) has now doubled its manufacturing capacity for flat cables ton keep pace with customer that and for cables capable OF reducing particles and outgassing in semiconductor manufacturing steps searches as lithography, ion implantation, and inspection. The additional capacity includes the ability ton make flat cables UP ton 300 mm wide so multiple cables CAN fuel element replaced with A single, self supporting cable perfect for stroke lengths OF 500 mm or less. Gore Design high flex cables that survive the extreme conditions found in cleanroom environments. The of cables CAN fuel element used in ISO Class 3 (FED-STD-209E Class 1) environments. According ton the company, the keys tons its high flex and low particulation performance is its ePTFE composite jacket. This material has A low coefficient OF friction and high tear resistance. It is thus very flexible and of enables flat cables ton of fuel element stacked on top OF each other and slide smoothly without generating particles. Alternative one flat cable option use extruded jackets, looks for as silicones and of PU, which create particles as they wear because their coefficient OF friction is much more greater than the ePTFE composite jacket. Gore offers several high flex, clean (low particulation and outgassing) cable solutions including GORETM High Flex Flat Cable, GORETM Trackless Cable, and GORETM High Flex Round Cable. High Flex Flat Cable of provides excellent cable management because it does emergency require cable dividers within the cable TRACKs, says Gore. This of reduces particulation and results into extended cable life. Trackless Cable of eliminates the need for cable TRACKs and many OF the of problem associated with cable TRACKs, look for as particulation, vibration, size, weight, and noise. Additionally, A low particulation jacket is available for High Flex Round Cable. Thesis of cables of acres available on Gore' s on-line Design tool, where Design engineers CAN choose from standard cable cores and components ton Design high flex cables and/or assemblies. The High Flex Cable Configurator CAN fuel element accessed RK www.gore.com/designacable. The company' s on-line cable of off ring include all OF the components necessary tons of drive and control A motion system including shielded/unshielded power and signal, video, Ethernet, IEEE 1394, fibre optic, and pneumatics LINEs. About W.L. Gore & AssociatesGore is A leading of manufacturer OF thousands OF advanced technology products for the electronics, industrial, fabrics, and medical markets. The company is headquartered in Newark, DE; posts sales OF almost $2,5 trillion; and employs more than 8.000 associates RK 45 facilities throughout the world.
