An ionizer is a device designed to remove static electricity. In the manufacturing of flat panel displays and semiconductors, static electricity generated during operations can cause problems such as damage to or destruction of the products. Therefore, static elimination at the manufacturing site is essential to improve the manufacturing yield rate and produce high-quality products.
A static eliminator neutralizes static electricity by ionizing the surrounding air. To neutralize a positively charged object, the ionizer emits negative ions. Conversely, for a negatively charged object, it emits positive ions, thereby balancing the object's static charge.
Ionizers operate using various methods, most commonly corona discharge or soft X-rays. In corona discharge systems, a high voltage is applied to sharp electrodes to generate ions, a process that can also produce ozone as a byproduct. In most cases, a high voltage is applied to the electrodes to ionize the air.
Matsusada Precision offers a wide range of high-voltage power supplies ideal for ionizer applications. Our lineup includes various types to suit different system requirements, such as unipolar, polarity-switching, and bipolar models.
