High voltage electrostatic generators, like the CM5 charging generator, create a controlled static charge up to 60kV on a non-conductive material that will allow a temporary adhesion between 2 surfaces/materials with charges of opposite polarity. A high DC voltage (up to 60kV) is generated safely and carried by a high-voltage cable to the emitters of a charging applicator, charging electrode or charging bar to generate a “corona”. A strong, ion-saturated electrical field around the single polarity high voltage points, forces the material to a reference earth, clinging the different surfaces together.
Choosing the right generator is mostly based on the space that you have available and the voltage (power) that is needed to get the job done. We offer the following generators:
Charging applicators are the extensions of the static charging generators to reach the material. With the charging applicator, a high-voltage field can be applied to the material. Charging Applicators come in different shapes. All have pins where the Corona effect is generated. There are single point applicators like pinner-electrodes, and there are bar-shaped charging applicators. These can be mounted inside machines for continuous charging, or momentarily charging of material that is processed inside the machine.
The CM Tiny is the smallest industrial charging high voltage static generator for applications like static bonding, static cling or static used to glue materials together. The generator only needs 24V DC voltage. The housing is compact, robust and only weighs 500 grams which makes it perfect for small machines and applications with moving parts like pick and place handling systems. It can easily withstand the high G-forces occurring during the process.
The CM Lite is a mid-sized industrial charging high voltage static generator for applications like static bonding, static cling or static used to glue materials together. The 20kV generator only needs a 220V AC voltage power supply. The housing is compact and robust and weighs 5,2 kilograms. The high voltage with an adjustable output voltage (both positive and negative) of 0 – 20 kV (with a maximum current of 0,7 mA) is shown on the digital display. A remote control option is available and a warning light shows whether the system is overloaded or if spark-over occurred.
CM5 is backwards compatible with the ECM30/60 and ECM DI30/60. A quick set-up menu is provided to set-up the generator to function as an ECM30/60. The menu is available in English, German, French and Italian.
The new function “current control” will enable you to set a constant current vs a constant voltage. This will provide more stable charging and will compensate contamination and emitter pin wear automatically.

The CMM Easy is a small profile footprint charging generator, specially designed for IML applications. The housing is compact, robust and only weighs 500 grams, which makes it perfect for end of arm mounting in IML pick and placehandling systems. It can easily withstand the high G-forces occurring during the IML process.
