comment of mind. And the self-diagnosis function is always running during
operation, which also provides us with peace of mind.”

The built-in high-voltage power supply eliminates concerns regarding accidents.

KEYENCE’s bar- and fan-type units have a high-voltage power supply built into the unit, so the only external wiring required is
a 24 VDC cable. The spot type has a high-voltage power supply between the controller and the ion generator, but the
double-shielded structure ensures that the high-voltage core wires are not exposed when minor damage occurs, such as
damage to the coating.
Also, even in the rare case that electrical leakage appears likely due to severe wire breakage or damage, all models are
equipped with an abnormal discharge detection function, which immediately detects electrical leakage and stops the power
supply. This means that all models are designed to provide peace of mind.

Does not unexpectedly become an electrostatic charging unit.

When the electrode probes become dirty, the amount of ions is reduced and the ion balance becomes poor. If a static
eliminator like this is continuously used, not only will it not be possible to eliminate static electricity, but the target may even
be charged with static electricity. The SJ Series has a function that monitors the ion generation status and outputs an alarm
when the generation status worsens.

The high quality lowers the risk of sudden failures.

The SJ Series is made in Japan* with great attention to quality.
It is manufactured at factories that fully meet all quality standards and is inspected prior to shipment.
* Excluding some controllers and cables. All high-voltage power supplies, which are related to safety, are made in Japan.

comment understand the current status and make reports on the operating

The electrostatic charge monitor makes it easy to perform checks.

The SJ Series comes standard-equipped with an ion balance monitor, which makes it possible to understand at a glance how
much positive or negative electrostatic charge the target workpiece has.
This indicates the static electricity elimination status.

During normal operation

Example: The target has a + electrostatic charge.

Self-diagnoses the error status.

The SJ Series uses an automatic self-diagnosis function to constantly monitor for three types of errors.
When an error is detected, it is displayed with the LEDs on the main unit and is indicated with an external output.
Monitoring this external output makes it possible to perform centralised management of multiple static eliminators.

SJ Series.
The I.C.C. function, which is installed on all SJ Series units, automatically makes adjustments to obtain the optimal static
electricity elimination status.
In other words, there is no need to perform the initial adjustments when the unit is installed. This also allows those who are
not familiar with static eliminators to easily install the SJ Series.

For types whose ion generator and high-voltage power supply are separate, it is necessary for an experienced user to install
the cable that connects these devices together. This is due to the need to implement safety measures. Failing to do so poses
a risk of accidents.
With the SJ, there is no need to worry about this work. Anyone can easily install the SJ.

Peace of Mind
The SJ Series has a safe design, so anyone can use it with peace
of mind.
And the self-diagnosis function is always running during
operation, which also provides us with peace of mind.

Reduced Costs
We were able to reduce the number of installed units.
We were also able to reduce the takt time.

Easy to Understand
The monitor function is easy to understand.
This makes it easy to understand the current status and make
reports on the operating status.

Reduced Man-hours
We were able to greatly reduce the man-hours we spend performing
maintenance.
We’ve assigned the time we saved to other important work.

Easy to Install
With conventional products, we had a rough time adjusting static
eliminators to match each worksite.
This is not the case with the SJ Series, so we can have anyone
make adjustments as necessary.

Makes the Design Stage Easy

A wide range of different types of static eliminators is available to select from.
All the types have the same functions, which makes the design stage easy.

Peace of Mind When Exporting

When we had problems at worksites, it was difficult to troubleshoot
the issue over the phone.
KEYENCE’s global service network provides us with peace of mind.
