Voltage Detection & Process Environment Monitoring

Simco-Ion's Novx Series 7000 Process Monitor is a multi-purpose microprocessor based instrument for monitoring critical electrostatic related parameters in work station and process environments. The six dedicated use channels provide the flexibility to customize the instrument for the monitoring capability and communication required at each location.

Simco-Ion's Novx Multichannel Field Voltage Detection Systems Series 3350/3360/3370/3390 provides the capability to simultaneously detect, measure, record and monitor electrostatic field voltages in multiple locations. The versatile antennas used with these systems allow their use in a variety of applications including monitoring sensitive workstations, in-tool voltages, or ionizer performance with the option of closed-loop control to select ionizer products.

Simco-Ion's Novx MiniPulse ESD Event Detector is designed for tool and process monitoring. This affordable, small footprint embeddable monitor has been developed to warn of product damage risks at the point of electrostatic discharge. The MiniPulse uses time domain and threshold discrimination to detect pulse electromagnetic energy. Through the use of specific antenna configurations and placement, the MiniPulse can provide ESD event detection for well-defined small areas.

Simco-Ion's Novx Single-fan Closed-loop Ionizer Controllers Series 3150/3151 are affordable field detection, ionizer balance, and feedback controller monitors. Monitoring and controlling ionization helps reduce manufacturing process variations and improve yields through fewer ESD events and lower particle contamination due to ESA. The Series 3150/3151 are digital instruments with settable warning and alarm levels.
