Ion Systems NilStat 5685 AeroBar Ionizer Bar IsoStat 24VAC Anti-Static 44"

Ion Systems NilStat 5685 AeroBar Ionizer Bar IsoStat 24VAC Anti-Static 44"

The Ion Systems NilStat 5685 AeroBar is a 44-inch AC overhead ionizer bar designed to neutralize static charges in clean room and ESD-sensitive manufacturing environments. It uses Ion Systems' IsoStat technology to produce a balanced stream of positive and negative ions across the work zone, eliminating static buildup on surfaces, substrates, and products passing beneath. Input power is 24 VAC, delivered through the modular RJ-style connector at the end cap.

Applications

AC overhead ionizer bars like the NilStat 5685 AeroBar are standard equipment in semiconductor fabrication, flat-panel display manufacturing, disk drive assembly, and pharmaceutical clean rooms — anywhere electrostatic discharge (ESD) or particulate attraction from static charge poses a yield or product-integrity risk. The AeroBar is typically mounted above a conveyor, process tool, or workstation and connected to a compatible Ion Systems controller that drives the 24 VAC input. Ion Systems was a well-regarded California-based manufacturer of static control equipment and was later acquired by Meech International; their AeroBar line was widely deployed in Class 10–Class 1000 clean rooms throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Replacement units and spares for Ion Systems ionizer installations remain in demand for facilities maintaining legacy static-control setups.
