ELECTROSTATIC REMOVER L12536 ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE REMOVER "0V" neutralization achieved by light OVERVIEW The PhotoIonBar is an electrostatic charge remover using photoionization that neutralizes static electricity by irradiating the charged object with weak soft X-rays.To neutralize static charges, ordinary ionizers generate ions by corona discharge and send them toward the charged object by air flow. Unlike these old methods, the PhotoIonBar emits weak soft X-rays that directly ionize the air around the charged object to neutralize static charges. The PhotoIonBar needs "NO AIR FLOW" and generates "NO DUST" and "NO ELECTROMAGNETIC NOISE". * Controller and cable are sold separatelly. Here's why photoionization works so well! ● 0V neutralization Fine ion balance makes no opposite charging ● Generates no dust and no electromagnetic noise ● Needs no air flow "Soft X-ray irradiation area" = "Static charge neutralization area" ● Maintenance free (needs no electrode cleaning) ■Photoionization OV ■Corona discharge ionization Soft X-rays Positive ions Negative ions Charges Still charged Air flow Positive ions Negative ions Charges TAPPC0170EA PhotoIonBar OFFERS MORE FEATURES ●Compact size for flexible installation layout Comes with DIN rail attachment for easy installation and removal ●Static charge neutralization area can be changed to match production line layout Maximum of 10 units can be daisy-chained to cover areas up to 2 m wide (recommended). ●Eco-friendly (contains no hazardous beryllium) ●Low cost ●Low power consumption ●Long service life ●Easy to shield Soft X-rays can be completely shielded with acrylic plate only 3.3 mm thick "PHOTOIONIZATION" MECHANISM When X-rays hits a stable atom or molecule, an electron is ejected out of the atom or molecule leaving a positive ion (atom or molecule of positive polarity). The ejected electron then combines with another stable atom or molecule to form a negative ion (atom or molecule of negative polarity). As a result, the same amount of positive ions and negative ions are generated. These ions are also generated in the vicinity of a charged object, and they are attracted to the charged object to neutralize the static charges. Ejected electron Stable atom or molecule e– Both positive and negative ions are generated Stable atom or molecule Soft X-ray e– Ion Atom or molecule of positive polarity as one electron is ejected. Ion Ion Ion EXAMPLE OF INSTALLING THE PhotonIonBar PhotoIonBar emits cone-shaped soft X-ray, and it works effectively within 300 mm of work distance.

POWER (AC) CHARGE NEUTRALIZATION EFFECT In photoionization, ions are generated over the entire area irradiated with soft X-rays. This improves the charge neutralization efficiency and also shortens the charge neutralization time. ■CHARGE NEUTRALIZATION EFFECT ●When 1 PhotoIonBar is used 400 mm 300 mm 200 mm 100 mm 100 mm 200 mm ●When 3 PhotoIonBars are connected 300 mm 400 mm 500 mm 400 mm 300 mm 200 mm 100 mm 100 mm 200 mm 300 mm 1s 2s 3s 4s 4 s or more 400 mm 500 mm Measurement conditions Charged plate: 150 mm, 20 pF Charged voltage: 1 kV / 100 V Distance between each PhotoIonBar: 100 mm Temperature: 25 °C Humidity: 50 % TAPPC0172EB SOFT X-RAY SHIELDING Shielding material Thickness (mm) Our other PhotoIonizers PhotoIonBar 0.22 0.11 Aluminum plate 1.3 0.23 Acrylic plate 21.7 3.3 PVC 2.2 0.65 SUS304 (stainless steel) * A survey meter can be used to check soft X-ray leakage.

SOFT X-RAY SHIELDING EFFECTS SUS304 PVC TAPPB098EA Aluminum plate Acrylic plate 100 SHIELDING EFFECT (%) Using the PhotoIonBar requires "soft X-ray shielding" during operation. However, the soft X-rays emitted from the PhotoIonBar are only at a strength of about 3 to 4.9 keV and so only need the following materials for 100 % shielding. 80 60 40 20 0 0.00001 0.0001 0.001 0.01 0.1 1 10 THICKNESS (mm) Note 1: Shielding effect is measured when distance between PhotoIonBar and survey meter is 100 mm and shielding material is placed between them (survey meter side). Note 2: The surface of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plates may blacken when directly irradiated by soft X-rays from a very short distance (within 100 mm) for a continuous period over several months, but this is not a problem. Such type of changes will not occur in iron and aluminum material plates.
