ESD ionisation for highly sensitive technology applications

Key Facts

Electrostatic discharge for ESD-sensitive applications
Conforms to the currently valid standards DIN EN 61340-5-1:2017 or IEC 61340-5-1: 2016
Extremely low residual charge
(offset voltage) due to using high-frequency technology
Patented KIST + ESCHERICH operating principle

Our PRECISION technology was specifically developed for electrostatic discharge procedures in demanding ESD areas. Electronic components and assemblies are often highly sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Even low voltages of less than 100 V can cause significant damage or significantly shorten the service life of these components as a result of a sudden discharge.
The PRECISION technology ensures an exceptionally low residual charge (offset voltage) thanks to its high frequency. A high-frequency generator converts the input voltage into the required high voltage, which is then delivered to the electrode tips of the ioniser. The generated positive and negative ions are transported with precision via an airstream to the component to be discharged. The system frequency is typically in the range of multiples of 10 kHz.
Like all electrostatic systems from KIST + ESCHERICH, the PRECISION ionisers are completely safe to the touch, so there is no risk for the users, even if they should come into contact with the electrode tips. Furthermore, all PRECISION systems meet the requirements of the IEC 6134051:2016 standard.

ESD ioniser
High-frequency discharge system with integrated control electronics and high-voltage power supply, specially developed for the ESD area according to DIN EN 61340-5-1:2016.
The high voltage is generated via a piezo electrode and passed on to emitters, which are continuously flushed with compressed air. This creates an ion-air mixture, the ions of which are attracted by the oppositely charged surfaces of the material or component.
The result is an optimal residual charge (offset voltage).

Printed circuit board
Printed circuit boards populated with electronic components can be very sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
2
PRECISION BAR
PRECISION BAR is specially designed for applications that require a low residual charge (offset voltage < 35 V) in accordance with IEC 61340-5-1:2016 to avoid ESD events. The ionisation electrode is used where an electrostatically neutral surface is required or mandatory. It is installed so that the blowing nozzle is directed towards the surface to be discharged.
3
Compressed air maintenance unit
Compressed air must be provided via a suitable maintenance unit with filter control valve and if necessary, with water and oil separator.
4
Compressed air hose
The compressed air supply is done with a plug-in connection.
5
24 V DC connection cable
A standard connection cable can be used to supply the ionisation electrode with 24 V DC if supply voltage is available at the factory.
6
24 V DC power supply unit
If a 24 V DC power supply is not available at the factory, an appropriate adaptor may be used.
