An ionizer is a device designed to eliminate static electricity. In the manufacturing of flat panel displays and semiconductors, static buildup can cause product defects or damage. Consequently, effective static elimination is essential for maintaining high production yields and ensuring product quality.
Static eliminators neutralize surface charges by ionizing the surrounding air. To neutralize a positively charged object, the ionizer emits negative ions; conversely, it emits positive ions for negatively charged objects, effectively balancing the static charge.
The most common operating methods are corona discharge and soft X-ray ionization. Corona discharge systems utilize high voltage applied to discharge electrodes to generate ions. Matsusada Precision offers a wide lineup of high-voltage power supplies optimized for these ionizer applications, including unipolar, reversible, and bipolar models to meet diverse system requirements.
