CenturION Benchtop
ionizer
|
|
The Simco CenturION
Benchtop ionizer offers superior balance
performance with its
|
|
novel emitter array design (US patent #6717792) and high-gain
dual feedback
|
|
circuitry. Using corona DC ion
technology, the centurION eliminates charges
cleanly,
|
|
quickly and reliably in cleanroom
workstation applications where electrostatic
|
|
discharge (ESD) is a concern.
The Simco CenturION benchtop ionizer is designed for
|
|
applications where even very low levels of static charge can
damage sensitive
|
|
components.
|
|
Ion balance is maintained with a high-grain dual feedback
circuit. This circuit,
|
|
combined with the unit's patented emitter array design, offers
superior offset voltage
|
|
performance. The unit is
capable of maintaining +/-3V balance performance. If the
|
|
unit becomes unable to track its setpoint
or some other atypical condition occurs, the
|
|
built-in monitoring circuit
indicates a fault.
|
|
Specially selected components ensure cleanliness of the centurION's output air to
|
|
meet or exceed Class 10 particle limits.
All fans feature a specially designed bearing
|
|
system and use silicone-free lubricants. All
other air bearing surfaces in the ionizer
|
|
are manufactured free of silicone. Fan assmeblies are run-in and particle tested to
|
|
Class 10 (FS209E; ISO Class 4) particle limits. The centurION's final assembly, final
|
|
test, and packaging take place in a Class 100 cleanroom to minimize risk of
|
|
contamination.
|
|
The centurION produces ionized air
with balanced ion content. Ion offset voltage is
|
|
continuously monitored and corrected through the combination of
the unique emitter
|
|
array design and control circuit.
Directing the airflow onto an object or work surface
|
|
eliminates existing static
charges and prevents accumulation of additional charge.
|
|
The centurION features a fan speed control
to adjust the amount of air delivered to
|
|
the work surface. The patented ion
emitter design provides superior delivery of ions
|
|
to the air stream through the use of a unique geometry which
controls airflow over
|
|
the emitters. Adjustments to the output
of the emitter array are seen quickly as ion
|
|
output changes in the air. The resulting
balanced stream of ionized air is delivered to
|
|
the work area to control static charge.
