1. SAFETY
NOTE
– Statements identified with a NOTE indicate precautions necessary
to avoid potential equipment failure.
CAUTION
– Statements identified with a CAUTION indicate potential
safety hazards.
The following safety procedures must be followed for safe Pinner operation.
1. Read instruction manual before operating or installing device.
2. Qualified service personnel must do installation and repairs.
3. Turn off power supply before cleaning, adjusting or servicing the Pinner
applicator.
4. Do not install or operate Pinner applicators close to flammable materials,
solvents or gases. These materials may ignite.
5. Do not touch the head of the Pinner applicator during operation.
6. All metal parts near the Pinner applicator, including the frame of which it is
mounted, must be electronically grounded or shock may result.
7. Provide proper grounding for the power supply (refer to power supply
instruction manual) and the flex arm, if used.
2. INTRODUCTION
Simco-Ion’s Pinner Series static charge applicators consists of the Linear Pinner,
5-Point and Pinner Claw. Pinner applicators are arc-resistant to avoid suspension
of static charge and loss of pinning action. The Pinners are current limited to ensure
operator and equipment safety.
Arcing can cause a multitude of problems such as EMI interference, shutdown
of production lines and personnel injury due to surprise from electrical shock.
Resistance to arcing means that the Pinner applicators continuously supply static
charge. This feature makes them easier and safer to set up and use. The Pinner
also produces superior bonding compared to less sophisticated applicators. The
applicators are also available in a non-current limited version for less sensitive areas.
Features and Benefits
• Current limited design for operator and equipment protection
• Arc condition sensing and instantaneous intervention resulting in uninterrupted
pinning action
• Minimized EMI and RFI generation, preventing disruption of sensitive
controls
• Optional manual adjust gooseneck with easy lock/release feature and insulative
brackets
