Transforming Technologies Airflex Ionizer With Photo Electric Eye, Mountable
Transforming Technologies Airflex Ionizer With Photo Electric Eye, Mountable
The Transforming Technologies Airflex Mountable Ionizer with Photo Electric Eye combines mountable fixed installation with automatic PE-triggered ionization — designed for automated and semi-automated workstations where the ionizer should activate only when a part or object is detected in the work area. The mountable design keeps the ionizer consistently positioned on a bracket or arm without occupying bench space, while the photo electric eye sensor triggers ionization on demand as parts move through the detection zone.

Key Features
- Photo Electric Eye Sensor: Automatically activates the ionizer when an object is detected — targeted ionization on demand for automated processes.
- Mountable Design: Fixed installation on a bracket or arm — consistently positioned without occupying bench space.
- Airflex Flexible Positioning: Adjustable aim for targeted static neutralization at specific work zones.
- 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 this unit and the Airflex Mountable without PE?
The standard Airflex Mountable operates continuously. This PE version adds a photo electric eye sensor that activates the ionizer only when an object is detected in the work area — suited for automated processes where ionization should trigger on demand rather than running continuously.
What applications is this ionizer best suited for?
Best suited for automated and semi-automated workstations — pick-and-place equipment, automated assembly lines, inspection stations, and any application where parts move through the ionization zone intermittently and the ionizer should be permanently mounted in a fixed position.
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.
