Claims
- 1. A method of remanufacturing a corona device comprising:removing an electrode from a housing comprising machining the housing at the position where the electrode is secured to the housing; mounting a first support to the housing; mounting a second support to the housing; attaching a new electrode to the first support and to the second support; securing the new electrode using one or more welds; and machining mounting holes in the housing prior to mounting a first support; wherein mounting the first support and mounting the second support comprises inserting protrusions extending from the first support and the second support into the holes in the housing.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein attaching a new electrode comprises:stretching the new electrode between the first support and the second support; and welding the new electrode to the first support and to the second support.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first support, second support, and the housing comprise a plastic.
- 4. The method of claim 1 further comprising spacing the second support from said first support.
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the corona device is part of a customer replaceable unit.
- 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing a tensile force on the new electrode.
- 7. The method of claim 3 wherein at least one of the first support and the second support comprises a material having a melting temperature below a melting point of the new electrode.
- 8. The method of claim 2 wherein the housing comprises at least one aperture therein; and wherein at least one of the first support and the second support comprise a protrusion extending at least partially into the at least one aperture.
