Basic Information
High-Speed, Airless Charge Removal
UL,CE,CSA,UKCA Approved
UL, CSA : Certified by TÜV SÜD America Inc.
Features
"Fast Charge Removal", "Airless", "Low-Pressure". Three charge removal modes for diverse application coverage
The ER-X series offers an airless charge removal capability to eliminate the need for compressed air in addition to low pressure and high speed compressed air based modes. Furthermore, it supports dual-head configurations for expanded application coverage.
Massive ion discharge when using air reduces charge removal time
By applying a compressed air source, the ion volume increases providing an improved tact time for substrate ionization. This makes the ER-X suitable for applications such as electronic paper and thin film solar cells, where charge removal time is directly linked to productivity.
Prevents dust dispersion and cleanliness degradation!
The ER-X series can effectively remove surface charges with an air pressure of less than 0.05 MPa. With the advantage of minimal dust dispersion, it is suitable for charge removal in semiconductor, FPD (mobile panel), and other applications that require high degree of cleanliness. The presence of air also helps prevent adhesion of dust to the discharge needles, requiring less cleaning than in the airless charge removal mode.
Pulse AC method for faster charge removal
The ER-X series has adopted the pulse AC method that alternately applies positive and negative voltages to each discharge needle. This enables generation and discharge of a large amount of ions, resulting in faster charge removal. Select from eight pulse frequencies according to your application, from 100 Hz for charge removal on nearby or moving workpieces to 1 Hz for charge removal on far-away workpieces or in a threedimensional space.
Automatic ion balance control
The ER-X series provides an automatic ion balance control mechanism that senses the amount of ions being generated (which changes according to environmental factors) and compensate for this deviation in the controller, thus maintaining a highly stable ion balance as an original operator setting.
0.3 sec. or less*1 fastest charge removal achieved with pulse AC method spot type ionizer*2
The pulse AC method enables the ER-X001 to generate and discharge a large amount of ions, which makes charge removal faster. Furthermore, as a spot type ionizer, it achieves the fastest charge removal of 0.3 sec.
or less*1 (±1,000 V → ±100 V).
*1: As of December 2023, in-company survey
*2: Spot diameter of ø15 mm ø0.591 in or less
Supports airless and low-pressure charge removal, which means charge removal is possible without blowing away tiny work pieces
Free head placement is possible thanks to flexible cable with internal air tube
Air supply port angle can be adjusted
ER-X001 high-voltage unitHigh and low temperature resistant type also available
ER-X□HC
Bar type head compatible with ambient temperatures of -60 to +200 ℃ -76 to +392 ℉ is available.
Super-compact slim head
By thoroughly redesigning the discharge needle, we have created a super-compact slim head that combines high-speed charge removal*1 with a maintenance-saving design*2. The ER-X series can be embedded in, or retrofitted onto, equipment that did not provide enough space for antistatic measures in the past.
*1 : Pulse AC method with built-in air tubes (max. pressure 0.5 MPa)
*2 : Discharge needle air barrier structure, discharge needle unit for simple need replacement
Flat discharge surface for easy cleaning
The ER-X series heads have a flat discharge face, allowing effortless cleaning of the discharge needles and air outlets by simply brushing along the groove provided.
Discharge needle air barrier design for reduced contamination
A barrier of clean air around the discharge needle keeps foreign matter from adhering to it, preventing degraded performance.
Additionally, by using separate air sources for the discharge needle barrier and ion transport, the ER-X series keeps discharge from becoming unstable due to pressure concentration, allowing the device to efficiently generate and transport ions.
Carefully designed to prevent contamination in manufacturing processes
Discharge needle unit for simple needle replacement
The removable discharge needle unit (including a set of four needles) substantially simplifies maintenance. To remove the unit, just slide it toward both ends as indicated by the arrows.

Mounting
- Using 2 M4 screws or 1 M6 screw, mount the head onto the equipment housing.
- Loosen the angle adjustment screw, adjust the head angle, and then fasten the head with the tightening torque of 0.5 N∙m or less.
- Position the head mounting bracket of the ER-X001 at least 20 mm 0.787 in away from the tip of the head. The tightening torque for the head fixing screw must be 0.5 N∙m or less.
- After mounting and setting up the head, set the controller according to the procedures described in the instruction manual in order to properly remove electrical charge.
Notes:
1) Be sure to ground the equipment housing onto which the head is mounted.
2) The distance between the head and the charge removing object should be 30 mm 1.181 in or more.
If the static buildup of the charge removing object is 30 kV or more, set the distance to 50 mm 1.969 in or more.
3) If there is metal near the head or between the head and the charge removing object, ion is absorbed, hindering appropriate static removal. Install the head under the following installation condition.
4) In case using the side mounting, the discharge frequency should be 10 Hz or more.
5) When installing two or more heads set the same frequency and keep the distance as below. In face to face or parallel using different frequency, keep the distance between the heads 400 mm 15.748 in or more.
When installing the heads face to face, install heads in distance that the heads can perform the charge removal of a side of the object individualy.

Piping
- Air supplied to this product will reduce contamination of the discharge needle and improve the charge removal speed.
- The outer diameter of the air tube to fit to the air inlet portion of this product should be ø6 mm ø0.236 in.
- Make sure that clean air (air containing no water, no oil and no dust) should be supplied.
- Since the pressure will drop when the air piping from the main pressure supply is extended or pneumatic components (e.g., needle valve, speed controller, mini filter) are added, keep an eye on the pressure supply to the ionizer making sure it is not in short supply. For the pneumatic components, select those that can accommodate the air supply flow rate.
