Gen4® Ion Air Cannon

The EXAIR Gen4® Ion Air Cannon is a powerful static elimination tool designed to neutralize static electricity and clean surfaces at distances up to 15 feet (4.6 meters). Here are some key features:

  • No moving parts: Ensures low maintenance and reliability.
  • High performance: Delivers a concentrated flow of ionized air for effective static elimination.

  • Adjustable air volume and velocity: With an optional pressure regulator, you can infinitely adjust the air volume and velocity for light to heavy-duty applications.

  • Shockless and non-radioactive: Safe for use around sensitive materials.

  • Compact and rugged design: Metal armored and electromagnetically shielded cable for durability.

  • Integrated ground: Eliminates the need for an additional ground connection.

  • Versatile mounting options: Can be wall, bench, or machine mounted.

The Gen4 Ion Air Cannon is ideal for hard-to-reach spaces or confined areas that require a concentrated flow of static eliminating ions. It's commonly used in applications such as bag opening, cleaning and neutralizing parts, pre-paint dust removal, and neutralizing shrink wrap operations.

How the Gen4 Ionizing Bar Works

The Gen4 Ion Air Cannon incorporates a Super Air Amplifier* and ionizing collar, energized by a power supply. A small amount of compressed air is injected into the barrel of the cannon (1) inducing a high volume flow of surrounding air to flow through it (2). A replaceable emitter point at the discharge end of the cannon (3) ionizes the entire airstream. The result is a high volume, conical flow of ionized air (4) capable of eliminating static and cleaning at distances up to 15 feet (4.6m). Because more than 90% of the ionized air is induced, the Gen4 Ion Air Cannon produces maximum airflow at minimum air consumption.

Power Supplies

The two-outlet (Model 7960) and four-outlet (Model 7961) Gen4 Power Supplies offer selectable voltage options, allowing you to choose between 115VAC or 230VAC. The modular cable includes electromagnetic shielding to safeguard sensitive electronics from interference and to facilitate easier connections and routing. Additionally, an integrated fuse on the primary side provides protection against voltage spikes. Both Gen4 Power Supplies are UL Component Recognized to US and Canadian Standards, and they are CE and RoHS compliant.

Shim Sets

The Ion Air Cannon comes with a .003" (0.08mm) thick stainless steel shim pre-installed, which is suitable for most applications. To increase the velocity of the Ion Air Cannon, you can replace the factory-supplied shim with a thicker one. Shim sets include one .006" (0.15mm) shim and one .009" (0.23mm) shim.
