Automotive Solutions

As vehicle technology continues to advance, automotive manufacturing is becoming increasingly automated, connected, and quality-driven. From electric vehicle battery production to sophisticated electronic systems and precision-molded components, manufacturers face growing demands for consistent quality, contamination control, and process reliability.

Electrostatic charge can impact product quality at nearly every stage of automotive manufacturing. Uncontrolled static can attract contaminants, interfere with automated processes, damage sensitive electronic components, and contribute to production defects. Effective static control helps improve product quality, increase production efficiency, reduce waste, and support reliable, traceable manufacturing processes.

Automotive Manufacturing Applications

  • EV Battery Manufacturing
    • Control static during battery cell, module, and pack assembly to minimize contamination, protect sensitive components, and improve production reliability for electric vehicle batteries.
  • Plastic Parts Molding
    • Neutralize static on molded plastic components such as dashboards, instrument panels, center consoles, door panels, bumper covers, grilles, and trim pieces to reduce dust attraction and improve downstream processing.
  • Precision Milling & Machining
    • Reduce static on machined metal and composite components, including housings, brackets, structural parts, and powertrain components, helping prevent debris buildup and improve part cleanliness before assembly.
  • Painting & Coating Preparation
    • Remove dust and contaminants from body panels, bumper fascias, mirror housings, spoilers, and other painted components prior to coating, resulting in improved finish quality and fewer paint defects.
  • Interior Trim Assembly
    • Eliminate static on interior components such as dashboard assemblies, door panels, center consoles, headliners, pillars, and decorative trim to reduce contamination and simplify automated handling and assembly.
  • Electronic Assembly
    • Protect electrostatic-sensitive components including infotainment displays, digital instrument clusters, touch panels, printed circuit boards (PCBs), sensors, camera modules, and electronic control units (ECUs) from electrostatic discharge (ESD) during manufacturing and assembly.

Whether protecting sensitive electronics, improving paint quality, or reducing contamination throughout production, Simco-Ion helps automotive manufacturers optimize processes while meeting today's demanding quality standards and preparing for the manufacturing challenges of tomorrow.

IQ Power HL & HLC

 

There are two Power Supply choices for the IQ Power HL System. Both IQ Power HL Power supply options provide the high voltage output power producing ionization and are compatible with the IQ Power Control Station offering system intelligence to maintain and communicate complete static control. Features include auto-calibration and dual-axis feedback control with an optional HL sensor system. Indicators on the HL power supply display system status, power, service status, and fault conditions.

The HL Power Supply is approved for mounting outside the hazardous area, while the HLC Power Supply is approved for mounting inside classified hazardous locations. Combining the HLC with the IQ Power Control station allows you to calibrate with the touch of a button and monitor neutralizing  critical indicators such as service status and fault conditions.
