Abstract :
This paper presents results of investigations carried out to test the influence of charged objects introduced into the vicinity of an ionizer-controlled work surface. The qualitative and quantitative distribution of ions on the surface was the main focus of the experiment. Experiments were conducted using ionizers with a feedback signal taken from a sensor at the output of the ionizer (factory installed internal feedback).
