Hands-free ionisation
May 1st 2007 Meech International announced
the launch of its Model 200
proximity sensor switching system
for use with its Series 200 range of
ionising nozzles at Total Processing
and Packaging this year.
Designed in response to
customer requests for a fully
hands-free system, the Model 200
proximity sensor automatically
detects a product as it passes in
front, which in turn triggers a signal
that is sent to the control unit.
Ionisation and compressed air
supplies are then automatically
activated to blow ionised air across
the product to neutralise any static
charge. Product sending eliminates
the need for pneumatic pedals or
other controls and means that a
system can be set up for automatic
operation. This 'hands-free'
process enhances productivity as
valuable operator time can be used
for other tasks.
The ionisation and compressed
air are only used when required,
thereby offering energy cost
savings. The promixity sensor has
been designed with an adjustable
sensing range and so is said to
offer flexibility in installation.
The complete Model 200
proximity sensor switching system
comprises a proximity sensor and
control unit that connects directly
into the Model 233v3 or 977v3
Pulsed DC controller. It is fully
compatible with Meech's Series
200 range of ionising nozzles. More articles from Meech International Ltd: |
