en.Wedoany.com Reported - In 2026, the global panel industry enters a stable development phase, with LCD focusing on 10.5-generation production lines and OLED primarily adopting 8.6-generation technology. The industry's focus shifts to high-precision cutting and high-value-added applications such as flexible displays, automotive displays, and VR.

In FPD manufacturing, laser cutting machines are used throughout the entire Array, Cell, and Module processes, handling high-precision tasks such as glass substrate scribing or cutting, Cell cutting, irregular or chamfered cutting, polarizer and optical film cutting, and cover glass cutting. These machines are critical equipment affecting panel yield.

Traditional laser cutting machine solutions face issues such as insufficient travel distance, excessive dust generation, and short service life, making them difficult to match the pace of high-generation production lines. As substrate sizes increase, the overall glass or panel length exceeds 6 meters, and the total length of the cutting table and front/rear material storage reaches 5 to 6 meters, requiring the energy chain to cover the entire production process. The cutting process demands a cleanroom environment, but traditional cleanroom cable management with support ribs typically limits travel to no more than 2 to 3 meters.

To address this scenario, igus has launched the E6J cleanroom solution for large-format laser cutting machines. Its internal separators are made of igus's self-developed iglidur J high-performance engineering plastic, which contains solid lubricants, resulting in an extremely low coefficient of friction and virtually no dust generation at the source, meeting the cleanroom requirements of panel manufacturing.

Test data from the Cologne laboratory shows that the E6J exhibits outstanding wear resistance compared to five types of cables or hoses: TPE, PUR, PE, PU, and PVC.

The product has a low coefficient of friction.

The E6J meets cleanroom ISO Class 1 standards.

Below is the E6J selection table.
