Meech extends Hyperion range of static control systems with 924IPS

At 32mm high, the 924IPS is the most compact pulsed DC bar available on the market, according to Meech, and is suitable for installation in challenging positions that would normally require an AC bar. The system employs the same four-pin M8 connector and shockless titanium emitter pins as other Hyperion bars, while having an IP rating of 66, making the bar suitable for use in harsh environments.

Hyperion 924IPS is also the first of Meech’s bars to feature adjustable output voltage, which is useful in particularly sensitive applications, such as RFID, and gives complete control over the output. Similar to other Meech Hyperion bars, a cleaning alert has been incorporated into the design whereby an LED will illuminate either green or flashing red depending on the cleanliness of the bar.

‘Meech has always taken pride in its ability to be flexible and respond rapidly to change, which is why we felt the need to add a new bar to our range of anti-static systems,’ said David Rogers, technical director at Meech. ‘Traditionally, short-range applications have been tackled using AC ionizing bars, but it is a fact that 24V DC is increasingly becoming the normal supply voltage for ancillary equipment on machinery.

‘Hyperion 924IPS is the first, purpose built, industrial 24V pulsed DC bar for short-range applications. It works as a ready alternative to traditional AC bars. A lot of time and research has been spent on developing the 924IPS, which is why we look forward to customer response and seeing how well the bar will perform across Meech’s key sectors.’

Hyperion 924IPS is available immediately and will be exhibited for the first time at Labelexpo Europe 2015.
