Air ionizer application for electrostatic discharge (ESD) dust removal in automotive painting industry
Dust and fiber have been identified among the highest contributor for the defect in automotive painting line with range from 40% to 50% of total defect breakdown. Eventually, those defects will effect on both visual appearance and also the performance of the parts. In addition, the significance o...

| Summary: | Dust and fiber have been identified among the highest contributor for the defect in
automotive painting line with range from 40% to 50% of total defect breakdown. Eventually,
those defects will effect on both visual appearance and also the performance of the parts. In
addition, the significance of controlling dust in an assembly line is crucial in order to maintain
the quality of the product, part performance yield and effect on workers’ health [1]. By considering
the principle and technology applied in electronic clean room technology, the ionizer
have been introduce to control dust contamination in automotive painting line. The first auto
maker industry whom found the effectiveness of the clean room application to reduce the defect
and production line downtime was Chrysler [2]. By doing so, it’s allowed the transmission
plant to offer 50 000 mile guarantee on the transmission systems. The main objective of this research
is to verify the effectiveness of ionizer device in order to reduce the rejection contribute
by dust and fiber particle in the automotive painting line. Towards the main objective, a few
sub areas will be explored, as a supporting factor to ensure the result gain from this study is
solid and constructive. The experiment start by verifying the electrostatic value of the raw material
(substrate) before and after the ionizer treatment. From here the correlation of the electrostatic
value generated by the raw material that effect to production pass rate can be explored.
At the meantime, the performance of the production pass rate after the ionizer treatment which
related to the painted surface area can be determined. |
