As with so many aspects of technology, the part that is on show is always the best known and attracts the greatest attention. Surface treatment is no different in that respect, and Vetaphone has unveiled the benefits of its new iCorona Generator.
Modular in construction, iCorona is designed to be efficient, upgradeable and easy to maintain to offer the high degree of future proofing that today’s changing market demands. All of the important electronic components are built into one easily accessible module, meaning servicing is quick and simple, which makes for smoother running and longer life, as all vital parts in the module are updated to the latest technology.
And, all this comes within a very compact generator that has a small footprint to cater for today’s crowded production floor and is CE approved for Europe and UL listed for both the USA and Canada. With approval across all continents, Vetaphone can build iCorona generators without needing to know their final destination, which means delivery is quicker and there are no issues relating to type approval or power requirements, which typically sees 50Hz used in Europe and 60Hz in America.
iCorona caters for both and its technology also includes a patented resonant feedback system that automatically matches the corona to the substrate being treated.
Vetaphone’s iCorona generator is highly controllable, too. Its standard iCC7 panel is intuitive and compact, making it user-friendly for all operatives. There are plenty of interface options to provide centralized setup and control from the main machine HMI. The benefit of centralized HMI is that it allows one operator to oversee production, including several lines at the same time. Vetaphone provides free software advice during implementation of the interface, which with graduated feedback provides the operator with only the information required at that stage – although full details are accessible at any time.
