 IONForce NEW DESIGN
IONforce is a high performance ion bar specifically designed to exceed demanding application requirements
in semiconductor, medical device, nanotechnology, aerospace, communications, and other industry applications. The IONforce is designed to operate with a bipolar DC power supply operating in
either steady state or pulse DC mode. IONforce can be operated with optional remote monitor or sensor connected to a Simco VisION2™ controller. It is available with an optional fitting for
compressed gas assist.
Features:
Typical applications for ion bars include use in equipment or laminar flow benches with air velocities of up
to 27 Meters/minute (90fpm). With airflow a bar can be located up to a meter distance from the target with
good results. The bar can also be used over moving process, production lines and in equipment with little airflow. In these cases the bar should be located between 300mm to 450mm (12” - 18”) distance from the
target area and operated in pulse DC mode.
Available DC Power Supplies
The IONforce is designed to be used with the PulseFlow (PFC), the visION2 or visIONi Controllers. The
PFC may be switched between pulse and steady state operating modes and provides independent control of positive and negative polarity. VisIONi is a precision steady state DC power supply. VisIONi includes a
"warning" indicator for notice of maintenance as well as a fault indicator, enhanced functions including remote power switching and fault condition monitoring. VisION2 provides a sensor operating mode to
provide closed loop control for the most sensitive application.
Air Assist IONforce Bar
Using the compressed air assist where no laminar airflow is present the IONforce bar can be located at
distances up to one meter from the target. Compressed air flows through the bar, exits around the emitter electrodes and carries the ions at high velocity to the target area. The result is significantly faster
discharge times. The IONforce bar produces bipolar ions in the air that neutralize electrostatic charges in the target area. It features a low profile with a height less than 3 centimeters and can be easily mounted
on many types of equipment and in areas such as those using robotics with low clearance. IONforce is compatible with clean environments to ISO Class 10.
DC Operating Mode Technology
IONforce is designed to operate with a power supply that produces either steady state DC or pulse DC
output. Pulse DC operating mode intermittently cycles positive and negative ions into the surrounding environment resulting in faster discharge times. Pulse DC is efficient when operating an ionizer in low
airflow or at long distance. Steady state DC operating mode delivers a low differential or offset voltage between the positive and negative polarity ions produced. The best performance is achieved when using
the ion bar in laminar airflow applications, in close proximity to the target, or with the IONforce optional compressed gas delivery system. Laminar airflow and compressed gas carry ions to the target quickly,
improving discharge time performance.
