Page 8: Grounding The Chargemaster Vcm
To mount the VCM Power Supply: 1. Locate the accessory kit provided with the Chargemaster VCM. 2. Attach two mounting brackets, (see Figure 2), to the VCM with M4 x 8 screws (provided in kit). Use mounting bracket as a template to mark the two mounting hole locations. -
Page 9: Installation Options For Charging Bars And Applicators
Installation Options for Charging Bars and Applicators VCM30 and VCM60 Power Supplies can be used to energize a variety of charging bars and applicators manufactured by Simco-Ion, including the following models: • Pinner-T Arc Resistant Bar • Pinner 5-Point Applicator •... - Page 10 bar are driven towards the grounded metal shaft by the electric field between the charging bar and grounded shaft. The plastic film intercepts the ions and becomes electrostatically charged in the process. The electrostatic charge in the plastic film causes adhesion of the film to the empty core. The charging bar may also be located facing a production fixture that moves beneath the charging bar (or...
- Page 11 Option 3: Two Charging Bars The third application uses two Pinner bars of opposite polarity facing each other (Figure 7). The materials to be pinned together are guided between the charging bars. The ions created by each charging bar are attracted towards each other due to their opposite polarity.
