Cleanroom Modules
Cleanroom versions are available for modules. These modules meet Class 10 Airborne
Particulate Cleanliness Limits, as defined by Federal Standard 209E. Cleanroom modules
provide two air (pneumatic) lines that can be connected to a vacuum source to help
remove particles from within the module.
The specifications for cleanroom modules are as follows:
• Class rating of FED 209E Class 10 or ISO 14644 Class 4
• Module speed of up to 500 mm/s
• Vacuum flow rate of 60-90 L/min
The Cleanroom Air Kit includes a length of pneumatic tubing and some extra fittings for
connecting the modules to the vacuum source.
Cleanroom modules feature:
• Belt seals made of polymer belt material
• A pair of 8 mm vacuum lines for each module
See Section 6.4 on page 114 for cleanroom module installation instructions.
Module Descriptor Numbers
A descriptor number is associated with each Python linear module. This number fully
defines its configuration and shows all the selected options for the module.
NOTE: In addition to module descriptor numbers, a separate descriptor
number is associated with each system configuration. See
“Module
System Descriptor Numbers” on page 67 for information.
L18 Module Descriptor Number Example and Key
The following figure shows an example descriptor number for an L18 module.
Figure 3-15. L18 Descriptor Number Example
The boxes are provided to show how the descriptor number consists of characters whose
values and positions represent different configuration options. For example, “L18”in the
first three positions indicates an L18 module is configured.
The following two figures provide a key that shows all the options these characters can
represent. For layout purposes, the key is divided into two parts.
