Electrode cartridge
with low maintenance
Reduces stain on electrode needle.
Conventional needle
Needs regular maintenance.
Electrode cartridge variations
Electrode cartridge with rapid elimination of static electricity,
focusing on discharge time and energy saving
Electrode cartridge with low maintenance,
focusing on ion balance and reduced maintenance time
3 types of electrode needle materials
• Tungsten: Ion balance ±30 V
• Monocrystal silicon: Ion balance ±30 V, suitable for eliminating static electricity onto
silicon wafers
• Stainless steel∗: Ion balance ±100 V, low-cost type, suitable for environments
sensitive to heavy metal contamination such as food processing
NewNew
• High-efficiency nozzle design improves
discharge time with low air consumption.
• Stain on electrode needle is reduced
by compressed air.

Air purge: Yes, With sensor: 1 Hz/60 Hz
Applicable to workpieces moving
at high speeds
• Switching over frequency: Max. 60 Hz
Ions are discharged at high density to
workpieces moving at high speed.
• Can be used to remove static electricity
from fast-charged or high-potential
workpieces or to electrostatically
charge them.
This reduces the range of surface potential
fluctuations for short installation distances
after static electricity elimination.
Note) The range of surface potential fluctuations varies depending on the
object’s material, etc.

Electrode cartridge 40 mm-pitch:
-X15
(Standard: 80 mm-pitch)
(Length: 1260 mm or less)
Continuous ion emission of a
desired polarity during DC mode
Applicable to purge pressure
of 0.7 MPa
Indicator functions
• Visualization of the charging condition
(During sensing DC mode)
• Visualization of ion balance
(When pulse DC mode or the autobalance sensor are used.)
Detects the electric potential difference and
outputs in an analogue voltage.
(During sensing DC mode)
• Outputs measured data at a 1 to 5 V
level when a feedback sensor is used.
By outputting the data to a PLC, it
is possible to control static electricity.
Contamination of the electrode
needle can be checked at
the same time.
