Perforation Detectors

In many production processes, it is necessary to detect perforations and leaks in injection-moulded products, films or other products like gloves and delicate material for applications in the medical industry and for medical use. Existing methods such as vacuum, pressure or optical control are often not applicable to transparent products or shapes that are difficult to handle. High voltage sparks can be used in a controlled way to detect perforations in these cases. A spark from a special electrode to a ground reference can be detected by the high-voltage generator and counted or relayed to other connected electronics and evaluated. The detection is non-contact so that there is no contamination of the material during hole-detection. High voltage electrostatic perforation detectors like the small footprint, Perfomaster and the CM 5 high-voltage generator provide the hardware and the software to generate a controlled spark, detect this spark and convert the spark to a pulsed signal for use in other equipment.
