2. DESCRIPTION
Simco-Ion’s Arc Resistant Charging Bars are part of the Chargemaster
Electrostatic Generating System. These bars are energized with Simco-Ion
Chargemaster VCM, CM20, MCM30 DC power supplies that provide the
necessary high voltage that is current limited for safety. This system is used
to produce electrostatic adhesion for temporarily bonding or pinning materials.
The success of the process depends on the insulating qualities of the material
being charged. Good insulators, such as plastic films, work particularly well
with this process.
The Pinner, Pinner-R and Pinner-T bars are resistor-limited to provide arc-resistant
operation. Arc-resistant operation lowers radiated electrical noise that affects
sensitive equipment in the surrounding area and eliminates physical damage to
materials and equipment.
Simco-Ion’s Pinner, Pinner-R and Pinner-T bars limit the amount of electrical
current that is drawn from the Chargemaster Power Supply. It is this advancement
that prevents hard arcs from occurring resulting in several improvements when
compared to traditional charging equipment.
Features
• Increased voltage consistency and pinning action.
• Reduced EMI/RMI that can disturb sensitive electronic components.
• Limited energy release that could otherwise degrade some plastics and other
materials causing additional damage and failures.
