Transforming Technologies IN4000PE Airflex Ionizer With Photo Electric Eye
Transforming Technologies IN4000PE Airflex Ionizer With Photo Electric Eye
The Transforming Technologies IN4000PE is an Airflex ionizer with an integrated photo electric eye (PE) sensor — designed for automated and semi-automated processes where ionization should trigger only when a part or object is detected in the work area. The PE sensor activates the ionizer automatically when an object enters the detection zone, providing targeted ionization on demand rather than continuous operation. This reduces unnecessary ion generation and is particularly suited for pick-and-place, automated assembly, and inspection applications where parts move through the ionization zone intermittently.

Key Features
- Photo Electric Eye Sensor: Automatically activates the ionizer when an object is detected in the work area — targeted ionization on demand for automated and semi-automated processes.
- Airflex Flexible Positioning: Adjustable aim allows the ionizer to be directed at specific zones — targeted static neutralization where it’s needed most.
- Automated Process Integration: Suited for pick-and-place, automated assembly, and inspection applications where parts move through the ionization zone intermittently.
- AC Corona Discharge Ionization: Neutralizes static charges on non-groundable surfaces on demand.
- ANSI/ESD S20.20 Compliant: Meets ionizer requirements per ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ANSI/ESD STM3.1.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the IN4000PE and the IN4000?
Both are Airflex ionizers with flexible positioning. The IN4000PE adds a photo electric eye sensor that automatically activates the ionizer when an object is detected — useful for automated processes where ionization should trigger only when a part is present. The IN4000 operates continuously without a PE sensor. Choose the IN4000PE for automated triggering; choose the IN4000 for continuous ionization.
What applications is the IN4000PE best suited for?
The IN4000PE is best suited for automated and semi-automated processes — pick-and-place equipment, automated assembly lines, inspection stations, and any application where parts move through the ionization zone intermittently and ionization should activate only when a part is present rather than running continuously.
Why do I need an ionizer if I already have ESD mats and wrist straps?
ESD mats and wrist straps ground conductors but cannot neutralize charges on insulators. An ionizer floods the work area with balanced ions to neutralize those charges. ANSI/ESD S20.20 requires ionization when insulators with voltages above the process voltage limit are present in the EPA.
