W hile it may be easy to overlook in the early stages of printer and copier design, the impact
of static on machine reliability and performance can be anything but subtle.
Fortunately, engineers and designers can turn to LE CT R A-CON ®
conductants from S chlegel S ystems, Inc. - a full line of linear
dissipator brushes that offers a simple, cost-effective
solution to static electricity and the
problems it causes.
S tatic electricity can be generated whenever, and wherever,
paper or film come in contact with dissimilar materials. To
complicate matters, the potential for static increases as
transport speed increases.* S o it's easy to see why
controlling static has become a bigger concern than ever.
Our long-lasting
LE CT R A-CON conductants
are capable of dissipating up to 96%
of all surface static charges over the effective
life of your product. T he result? M ore dependable
machines, and more satisfied customers.
The people of S chlegel S ystems, Inc. helped pioneer passive
static dissipation nearly 25 years ago. Today, you can find
S chlegel components used as original equipment in a variety
of products, including laser printers, copiers and duplicators,
automatic teller machines, microfilm handling systems, offset
presses, impact printers and faxes.
The concept behind LE CTR A-CON dissipator brushes is just
as simple, as basic, as it is ingenious. As paper or film pass
through critical points of the machine's paper path, each
sheet is lightly brushed by the conductant. The brush draws
the charge from the document, dissipating it through the
machine frame to ground.
W hy such widespread success? Designers and engineers
appreciate not just the effectiveness, but the flexibility of
LE CTR A-CON conductants.
S ignificantly, the dissipation is handled passively. Unlike ion
bars, you don't have to worry about additional power
supplies, or ozone emissions. Further, the simple design
of LE CTR A-CON conductants makes them easier, faster and
less costly to install. In the field, machine downtime and
service calls are minimized.
W hat'ss more, your S chlegel account manager will work
directly with you to provide custom design solutions for
specific equipment or process requirements.
Yet LE CTR A-CON conductants, made of conductive fibers
held firmly in place by conductive plastic or metal brackets,
are far more durable and effective than simple tinsel strips.
In most applications, they're capable of dissipating up to
96% of all surface static charges over the effective life of
your product.
And learn how LE CTR A-CON conductants can take not only
the static, but the frustration, out of your paper path.
They're available in a variety of brush profiles (see the back
of this sheet), including small sizes that are easy to install in
hard-to-access locations.
