Anti-Static Solutions
Systems for the neutralisation of electrostatic charges in industrial automation processes
Technologies for the control of electrostatic charges
In modern industrial automation processes, the management of electrostatic charges plays a fundamental role in ensuring product quality, operational safety and production continuity. The presence of uncontrolled electrostatic charges can cause dust attraction, surface defects, assembly problems, damage to sensitive components and unwanted discharge events.
Fluid System offers anti-static solutions for industrial automation, selecting reliable, established technologies available on the market. The SMC brand is an important reference point in this field, alongside other technical solutions of the same level, chosen to ensure consistent performance, effective integration and long-term reliability.
The offering includes systems for the active neutralisation of electrostatic charges, the monitoring of electrostatic potential and the prevention of charge generation along automation lines, with particular attention to high-precision industrial applications. Fluid System supports machine builders, system integrators and production departments in selecting the most suitable anti-static solutions, taking into account the process, materials handled, available space and plant integration requirements.
Types of anti-static solutions
IONISERS
Devices designed for the localised neutralisation of electrostatic charges through the controlled emission of positive and negative ions. Ionisers are used in assembly stations, automated machines and workstations where targeted, precise intervention is required. They are suitable for applications requiring high reliability, rapid response and integration into confined spaces.
IONISING BARS
Neutralisation systems designed for the uniform coverage of large surfaces or materials in continuous motion. Ionising bars are used on production lines, conveyor belts and continuous processes, where electrostatic charge must be controlled across the entire width of the product. They allow constant, uniform neutralisation even in high-speed applications.
IONISATION GENERATORS AND CONTROLLERS
Control units dedicated to the management and regulation of anti-static systems. In many industrial applications, the architecture provides for separation between the ionising device and the control electronics, allowing the installation of ionising heads even in very confined spaces and complex environments. These solutions enable precise regulation of the neutralisation process and greater flexibility of integration on the machine.
ELECTROSTATIC MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS AND SENSORS
Solutions dedicated to the measurement of electrostatic potential and the continuous monitoring of charges present in the process. Measurement systems make it possible to verify the effectiveness of neutralisation, optimise the positioning of anti-static devices and ensure process stability over time. Electrostatic charge control through sensors and measuring instruments is a key element for high-precision industrial processes and quality control.
INTEGRATED CLEANING AND NEUTRALISATION SYSTEMS
Compact units designed to combine the neutralisation of electrostatic charges with blowing and dust-removal operations. These systems make it possible to eliminate static and surface contaminants simultaneously, improving product quality and reducing manual operations. They are particularly suitable for electronic components, optical components and precision parts, where surface cleanliness and electrostatic control are closely interconnected.
ANTI-STATIC COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES
Complementary elements for the construction of pneumatic systems and automation systems designed to reduce the generation and accumulation of electrostatic charges. This category includes fittings, tubing and conductive or dissipative components, used to prevent electrostatic phenomena from the air-distribution stage onwards. These components help improve the overall reliability of the anti-static system.
