PerforMAX IQ Static  Neutralizing System

The PerforMAX IQ is an intelligent air ionization system that enables the user to be in charge of static electricity. It is designed to efficiently neutralize electrostatic charges on films, paper, non-wovens and fabric in web or sheet form. Due to its high output and range, the PerforMAX IQ is also ideal for applications such as blow molding and injection molding. The PerforMAX IQ is also available in a version listed for use in Class 1, Division 1, Group D hazardous locations making it the perfect solution for solvent coating and rotogravure processes.

The PerforMAX IQ uses an entirely new static bar design utilizing emitter points constructed of special alloys for extended operation and to provide maximum neutralization of high static charges on high speed and distance applications. The IQ bars include a unique connection design which enables the power supply to recognize the application requirement and automatically set the output power necessary for the installation. The PerforMAX IQ power supply is equipped with a single momentary push-button calibration design that simplifies the set-up.

The PerforMAX IQ system ensures complete static control by providing constant self-diagnosis information along with continuous downstream monitoring of the static charges on the web. The web monitoring module uses closed-loop feedback to fine tune the performance of the system. The web monitor also provides local and remote downstream web charge indication along with programmable alarm setpoint features for activating a remote alarm or triggering a PLC to shut down the process should a problem arise.

The PerforMAX IQ system is also designed to incorporate a communication module to provide an interface link from the IQ system to a PLC or computer master, with software or a number of common fieldbus network configurations such as Profibus, DeviceNet, EtherNet or Modbus as examples.

PerforMAX IQ Bar and BPS

The PerforMAX IQ Bar is designed to provide a small profile static neutralizing bar to accommodate tight installation opportunities, while maintaining superior performance and strength.  The new bars are offered in three application configurations so the user doesn’t have to experiment for performance, maximizing efficiency the first time, every time.
The Basic Power Supply (BPS) is the heart of the PerforMAX IQ system because it not only provides the output power producing ionization, but the BPS also processes all of the system intelligence to maintain and communicate complete static control.

PerforMAX IQ Web Monitor

The optional PerforMAX IQ Web Monitor Module is a unique opportunity to install a closed-loop, total control, ionization system in a production environment. The downstream charge recognition enables the IQ to maintain maximum performance, and also display that performance to the end-user.   The web monitor is capable of powering up to 4 sensor probes on each module, and has programming capabilities that allow the sensors to be mounted at 1”, 2” or 3” from the surface.  The web monitor also has a programmable alarm feature that allows the operator to set the alarm threshold for each individual probe, which will then activate the alarm signal should the static charge level on the material exceed the alarm set-point. This truly innovative feature puts the operator in control of static electricity.

PerforMAX IQ Communications Module

The optional PerforMAX IQ Communication Module creates a computer interface link between the IQ system and a PLC or computer master, to provide a convenient summary of performance and system alarm data for those users that require a historical record for lot control or customer review if requested. The module can be configured to utilize system supplied software or a number of fieldbus communication protocols such as Profibus, DeviceNet or Modbus as examples.
