Chapter 10: Cleanroom Option Considerations
This chapter provides important considerations when using a robot with the Cleanroom
option.
10.1 Cleanroom Option Classification
The eCobra robots are available in Class 10 Cleanroom, and ISO Class 4 models.
This option is a factory-installed configuration. Changes to the robot include the addition of a
bellows assembly mounted at the Joint 3 quill, fully-sealed access covers, and a two-stage
vacuum system to evacuate the arm. This vacuum system incorporates a compressed air
vacuum generator mounted in the base of the robot to provide a high vacuum in the outer link
and bellows area.
IMPORTANT:
You must use an additional high flow rate vacuum source to
evacuate the inner link and base.
An eCobra 600 with the Cleanroom option is shown in the figure below.
