IONforce Static Control System
| Data Sheet
| The IONforce static control bar is a high efficiency static bar for use in applications where an extended ionization range is needed. The system is available with an optional air assist feature which enhances its extended range capability. The IONforce is designed to operate in either steady state or pulse DC mode.
SIMCO’s IONforce bar produces positive and negative ions that neutralize static charges. It features a low profile with a height of just 1.13” and can easily be mounted on a variety of equipment. The patented bar is designed for easy installation and cleaning.
The IONforce is designed to be used with SIMCO’s PulseFlow® (PFC) Controller. The PFC may be switched between pulse and steady state operating modes and provides independent control of positive and negative polarity.
%%LIST
Pulse DC operating mode intermittently cycles positive and negative ions resulting in a fast discharge time at extended distances from the target surface.
Steady State DC operating mode provides balanced (an equal number of positive and negative ions produced by the bar) ionization ideal for applications such as RFID tag and label manufacturing.

Typical Use: |
Silkscreening - The IONforce’s extended range capability is designed to address several areas in the silk screen printing process that can be affected by static charges.
%%LIST
The sheet pile at the feeder can have a static charge which causes the sheet (substrate) to stick to the pile and misfeed.
During the printing process, where the screen bed, screen mesh and squeegee interface, static charges can build up, especially on polyester material which is prone to high static charges. This charge can cause whiskering around the edges of the image.
Once the squeegee has realized its printing stroke and the screen is lifted, the substrate may stick to the screen, causing smearing. The substrate may also stick electrostatically to the screen bed and cause misalignment.
Poor print quality can be caused by the electrostatic attraction of airborne contaminates to a charged surface at any point during the silk screening process
Injection Molding - The IONforce is ideal for installation in the mold ejection area or over parts delivery/collection tubs. Injection molded parts can have high static charges that attract airborne contamination, resulting in product rejects. Operators may also experience uncomfortable shocks when working next to the collection bin. The IONforce has an extended range capability, with an optional air assist, to neutralize the static charges in the injection molding process. |
