Electrostatics examples: Problems and solutions for detecting perforations in a moving path

Perforations in running tracks can be detected with a special detection electrode and a high-voltage generator.

The problem

Perforations in a film web, which can be caused by various production influences.

Note: Drawings and images do not depict the application exactly, but rather illustrate the situation and approximate reality.

The solution

Perforations in running webs can be achieved with a special electrode and a High-voltage generator The perforations are detected, but not located. A special HD Det electrode It is placed over a roller to generate a strong electric field. A perforation in the foil creates a spark through the material, generating an output signal at the charging generator. Due to the strong electric field, the application of ion spray bars after perforation detection is mandatory.
