Static Electricity
With more compact parts and more intricate electronic devices at production sites,
countermeasures against static electricity are vitally important to improve product quality and increase yield.
The problem onsite is how to make invisible static electricity "visible" and how to define effective ionization.
OMRON contributes to static electricity countermeasures and improving product quality by providing
Electrostatic Sensors and High-performance Ionizers with the best ion balance characteristics in their class.

Smart Electrostatic Sensor

Smart Static Electricity Sensing:
Making Static Electricity Visible
The unpredictable nature of static electricity creates the
need for a sensor for constant in-line monitoring to
properly capture static electricity.
Smart collection of effective data to improve production
site countermeasures is now possible.
Smart In-line Measurement of Production Site Static Electricity
Compact Sensor Head and Smart Amplifier
Hand-held devices and large measuring devices are not suitable
for easily measuring static charges of workpieces in-line.
The Sensor Head of the Smart Electrostatic Sensor is small
(6

65 mm) and the bracket has a rotating mechanism,
making it possible to mount it even where space is limited.

Smart Amplifier
Smart Static Electricity Monitoring
For effective discharge, measurements must be made at more
than one location and changes over time need to be monitored.
With the ZJ-SD, multi-point measurements from up to 5 Units
can be made easily if a Calculating Unit is connected between
Amplifiers. And the Electrostatic Sensor measurement data can
be displayed and logged on a personal computer via an
Interface Unit and used for static electricity countermeasures.

Best Long-distance, High-precision Measurements in the Industry
The ZJ-SD provides the highest detection accuracy in the industry when combined with a ZX Displacement Sensor.
And even more precise measurements are possible with the compensation function that adjusts to the size of the
workpiece.
Workpiece Distance Compensation
Long-distance, High-precision Measurements
The best sensing range in the industry at 100 mm/ ±50 kV.
Sensors that measure static charges are greatly affected by the measurement
distance. The ZJ-SD solves this problem by combining with a ZX-series
Displacement Sensor to enable communicating distance information and thus
achieve high-accuracy measurements.
Note: Ultrasonic Displacement Sensors are also available. Contact your OMRON representative for details.

Sensing distance (mm)
Electrostatic Sensor
Unaffected by Measurement Distance
In addition to distance data compensation performed by the
Displacement Sensor, errors from distance fluctuations can also
be reduced by directly inputting the installation distance into the
Amplifier.
Electrostatic Sensor
Workpiece Size Compensation
Accurate Static Charge Measurements
for Small Workpieces
The Electrostatic Sensor's sensing area is approximately five times
the installation distance.
Enter the workpiece size to measure the static charge of workpieces
smaller than the sensing area. (See note.)
The ZJ-SD can compensate the static charge based on a
comparison of the installation distance recorded in the Preamplifier
and the size of the sensing area.
Note: Except for the workpiece, static charge inside the sensing area must be 0 V. Use a
measurement error of approximately 10% as a guide for a measurement distance of
5 mm and a workpiece of 10 mm in diameter.
