Sensitive magnetoresistive (MR) heads are easily damaged or destroyed by ESD events. SIMCO's overhead and benchtop ionizers quickly neutralize harmful electrostatic charges with stable balance performance and protect critical disk drive assembly and production processes.
Solutions
Aerostat Guardian CR2000
The Guardian CR2000 features a patented circuit that results in balanced delivery of positive and negative ions, which ensures that the unit will maintain an ion balance of 0±5 V. Balance stability is further enhanced by use of SIMCO's unique "ion shields" at the fan outputs to reduce parasitic ion loss.
AirSnake
The AirSnake (AS-1) is a hands-free flexible ionizing nozzle that can be
positioned to produce a clean ionized stream onto a targeted location.
CenturION Benchtop
The centurION DC ionizer is designed specifically for use in critical cleanroom applications.
Gemini Profile Emitter Modules
SIMCO's patented Gemini Profile Room Ionization System features individually addressable Profile emitter modules.
IONforce Ion Bar
The Simco’ IONforce ion bar provides rapid neutralization of static charges and prevents electrostatic discharge (ESD) in applications such as cleanrooms and workstations. Powered with a Simco’ PFC or VisION Controller unit, the IONforce bar produces positive and negative ions that rapidly neutralize any potentially destructive charges in the work area.
minION2 Ionizing Air Blower
SIMCO’s minION2 ionizing air blower is designed to control electrostatic charges in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing equipment and for benchtop applications requiring high performance in a small package. Using steady-state DC corona ion technology, the minION2 features self-monitoring to ensure controlled, consistent ion output.
orION
orION provides high performance and reliability in a compact, compressed air nozzle.
orION Sidekick
The orION Sidekick offers the same outstanding performance of the orION with an added flexible neck that frees the operator's hands during assembly and manufacturing processes.
