Electrostatics is an underestimated factor in many industrial processes. Especially at high production speeds, in dry ambient air, or when processing plastics, surfaces can become electrostatically charged. This can lead to quality problems, production disruptions, or, in the worst case, even safety risks and endangering employees. To effectively address these challenges, SimcoION is expanding its portfolio with a new product: the

The problem of static charge can be used in production to bond two materials together without air inclusions. Applications that can benefit from this technique include: – Bonding material electrostatically on a cooling roller without air inclusions optimizes the cooling process. – In bag manufacturing, parts of the bag are held together by electrostatic control to prevent air inclusions.

The challenge: Perforations in a material web can be used to determine the material's position within the machine. These perforations can be the "tear-off perforation" of pouches or intentional perforations designed to define a position. Perforation detection using high voltage is independent of the material surface and can even be used with transparent materials.

„"Perforations in moving webs 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 factors. The solution: Perforations in moving webs can be detected with a special electrode and a high-voltage generator. The perforations are detected, but not located. A special HD Det electrode is placed over a roller to generate a strong...

„"Perforations in products can be detected using high voltage, which generates a spark through the perforation." The problem: Perforations in products can be detected using high voltage, which generates a spark through the perforation. A common application is checking the injection point of injection-molded products, e.g., yogurt cups, bottles, and containers. The solution: A special electrode can

The problem: An electronic display is a device for showing images, text, or videos that are transmitted electronically. There are many types of displays: ELD, LCD, LED, OLED, etc. An example is the Simco-ION Manager IQ Easy. It is part of the Simco IQ platform, a small industrial PC with a touchscreen. The display is protected by a protective film.

Manually stacking and wrapping cartons on pallets can be time-consuming and expensive due to the intensive labor required. For this reason, the process is often fully automated. Automated pallet wrapping lines come in a wide variety of designs, but they often share one common problem: issues with static electricity on the sides and/or the top film. Stretch film unwinders are used to
