Crystal Mark

Crystal Mark, Inc. has developed the POINT IONIZER to effectively reduce Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) from reaching levels that could potentially cause damage to ESD sensitive components. The Point Ionizer introduces a balanced flow of positive and negative ions into the abrasive pathway at the exit point of the abrasive nozzle tip. With this introduction, the abrasive powder maintains a much lower ESD level upon contact with the work piece therefore essentially eliminating the potential of ESD damage. The hand piece combines the abrasive nozzle and the ionization source. A simple grounding point for the nozzle within the hand piece further neutralizes the abrasive pathway. The nozzle is positioned at a fixed angle to the ionization source. The effectiveness of the Point Ionizer was proven during several extensive studies for conformal coating removal.

Using the Carbo Blast, Soda Bicarbonate and Plastic Blast as the abrasive media with the Point Ionizer, the conformal coating was selectively removed while safely maintaining ESD readings below 20 volts (tests were conducted by blasting an electrostatic field meter). Without the use of the Point Ionizer, ESD charges of 3,000 volts and higher were realized. In addition to reducing the ESD levels, the Point Ionizer also improves the cleanliness on surfaces where static charges generate an electromagnetic field which cause the abrasive particles to cling more tenaciously to the work piece being blasted. The Point Ionizer is the solution to your ESD and cleanliness concerns. This unit is designed for the Model MV-2 and MV-2L Micro Sandblasters with the 3-56 UNF Male Threaded Nozzle.
