Methods for Mapping of Surface Charge Density on Arbitrary Dielectric Objects
A system to map surface charge densities on dielectric objects – e.g. PTFE, PMMA, and PA6 – is described to study maximum surface charge limits discharge and decay characteristics. Two electromechanical movements are used to achieve these goals: a three-axis robotic arm with an electrostatic probe and a three-axis auxiliary movement fitted with a current viewing resistor and laser displacement sensor. Dielectric objects no larger than a cylinder of eight-inch diameter and twelve inches in height are analyzed to create surface point clouds and generate a set of scan points. The arbitrary object is positioned upon a rotational axis with a laser displacement sensor oriented radially towards the rotational axis of the platform to determine the object’s physical limits.
