INNOVATIONS PRODUCTS FINISHING — PFonline.com 49 Ion Air Cannon Designed to Eliminate Static Electricity Exair introduces its Ion Air Cannon designed to eliminate static electricity and clean at distances up to 15 ƞ. for spaces requiring a concentrated flow of static eliminating ions. Features include a metal armored, high-voltage cable de- signed to protect against abrasion and cuts, a replaceable emit- ter point, integrated ground connection and electromagnetic shielding. The product incorporates Exair's Super Air Amplifier said to minimize compressed air use by inducing surrounding airflow at a ratio of 22:1. The amplified airflow carries ions to the target, enabling the product to quickly eliminate static charges. Exair Corp. / 800-903-9247 / exair.com Robotic Blasting System Uses Media Cyclone Guyson presents its RB-9 robotic blasting systems using a high- performance model 75/12 media cyclone. In the cabinet, the part is held by Guyson's custom-designed fixture. Ensuring the part is mounted for a direct blast in the right sections, the system includes a continuous servo for part rotation. The company's cyclone reclaimers are lined with high du- rometor urethane, providing maximum abrasive resistance. The longer cone design creates a high-velocity separation of fines and fractured media from reusable material. Fine-tuning vents on the cyclone enable adjustments for sepa- ration, as well as a tuning vortex for media grit size adjustments.
