THE STATIC ELECTRICITY
TheoryThe static electricity comes from the transfer of electrons between
two or more atoms becoming electrically unbalanced.
Negative ion(surplus of electrons)

atom (B)electrons transfer

Positive ion(deficit of electrons)

atom (A)How is it created?
The static electricity is created after contact between two materials(which at least one of them is an insulator).
The static electricity level depends on humidity, materials, as well as on the pressure,the time, and the surface of contact.
An electric voltage of several kV might be easily generated.

①Usually an object contains positive ions and negative ions. They are same in quantity and keep balance.
②When two objects come into contact, unstable electrons start moving (Charge Transfer).
In such a state, however, electrons just move, and two objects in touch as a whole are not charged.
③Dragging these objects away makes the number of electrons unbalanced.
At this time, one object which receives electrons is negatively charged, while another object which loses them is positively charged.
④Then, the electrons transfer , once the object, either negatively or positively charged, approaches to a grounded metal.

Consequences
Three types of problems can result from static electricity:• Apparition of electric arcs, which can damage the electronic circuits,• Dust attraction, which can lead to unwanted defaults after parts painting or cause
hygiene and cleanliness problems,• And attraction or repulsion of other materials, which can cause,
for instance, printing problems due to the repulsion of the ink or labeling problems
due to the unwanted repulsion or attraction of the paper when being positioned.
Dust attached on lenses,
light guide panels

Stacking error of plastic cups

Film stiction error

Resin parts removal error from moulds

Misalignment of very tiny parts

ESD damage on electric parts

Painting defect due to dust attachment

Uneven painting quality due tocharged adsorption part

Feeding troubles invibratory bowl feeders

Ink rejection or bleed

How is it eliminated?
Different methods are used:
If possible and if it is a conductor, connect the part to the ground:• The voltage of the part will be equal to 0V. However in certain cases,in order to avoid any sudden discharge, which could lead to electric arcs,
it is necessary to use dissipative material with a controlled conductivity.

Otherwise use a ionizer:• The ionizer will send positive and negative ions to be combined with the postiveand negative charges on the targeted surface.
The ions are created thanks to the corona discharge principle.
The static electricity elimination is made without any contact.
