The Keyence OP-87418 is a tungsten electrode probe engineered for use with the SJ-EL and SJ-EN Series static eliminators. As a core component of an ioniser, the electrode probe is directly responsible for generating the ions needed to neutralise electrostatic charges. Over time, electrodes can wear due to continuous discharge cycles and environmental conditions, making durable and reliable replacements essential for maintaining long-term system effectiveness.

Manufactured from tungsten, the OP-87418 offers exceptional hardness, durability, and resistance to wear. Tungsten is well known for its ability to withstand high levels of stress and temperature, making it an ideal choice for electrodes in static elimination systems. This ensures that the probe delivers a long service life while maintaining consistent ion output. By reducing the frequency of replacements, it helps lower overall maintenance costs and ensures continuous protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD).

The OP-87418 is finished in a light-grey colour, providing a clean and professional appearance that makes it easy to distinguish during installation or maintenance. Its clear visual identification helps technicians quickly verify correct replacement parts, streamlining the servicing process and reducing downtime.

By integrating seamlessly with the SJ-EL and SJ-EN Series, the OP-87418 maintains the high level of performance that these static eliminators are designed to achieve. Proper ion balance and stable discharge are critical in industries such as electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, printing, packaging, and automotive assembly. The electrode probe ensures reliable charge neutralisation, reducing dust attraction, preventing ESD-related damage, and supporting consistent product quality.

Another key benefit of the OP-87418 is its ease of integration. Sold separately, it provides flexibility for users to carry out routine maintenance without requiring the replacement of entire ioniser units. Keeping spare electrodes in stock enables preventative maintenance practices, ensuring that static eliminators continue to operate efficiently with minimal disruption to production.

In demanding environments, the OP-87418 demonstrates its value by delivering stable ionisation over extended use. Its tungsten construction provides resilience against gradual erosion, ensuring that discharge performance remains consistent even in high-frequency or high-output applications. This reliability directly supports operational efficiency and helps safeguard sensitive products and processes from electrostatic risks.

In summary, the Keyence OP-87418 tungsten electrode probe is a durable, reliable, and easy-to-integrate component for the SJ-EL and SJ-EN Series static eliminators. With its long-lasting tungsten construction, light-grey finish, and ability to maintain stable ion discharge, it ensures effective static elimination and long-term operational stability. For industries where precision and product integrity are critical, the OP-87418 is an indispensable accessory that helps sustain performance and efficiency.
