Hello there: Currently we are building our own facility for producing electronic assemblies. I had a long discussion with my colleagues concerning the ESD mats surrounding the sensitive components areas such as the pick & place machine

Hany, ESD mats, in my opinion, are very important. Why jepordize the quality of your product. We use sheets of stainless steel around all areas that are ESD sensitive and ground them to the machines. Of course they are no good unless the people st

How are you going to ground the metal sheets? You certainly don't want to leave these hard grounded; you need to dissipate any static charge over time.

well... it might be cheaper. But I think it's a bad idea. First, your operators will hate you by the end of the day with their sore feet, not to mention lost productivity. Second, safety. Even if the plates are connected to ground through a resistor

Hany, John is right! How do I know cause I have a metal wire floor. I was faced with the same problem you are faced with now and the price was up there. I had one advantage, My floors where raised wood when we got the shop. This reduced the fati

Yes, "corrosion" should be on your buyers spec for ESD mats. ESD mats are another one of those sneaky little gotcha things, where it's easy to think that all blue mats are the same. Kapon tape is another one where you can't purchase strictly based

I need some help in setting straight QA which owns our ESD Procedures. 1. Is the limmiting resistor for personel safety or to slow down ESD discharge? Everything I have read indicates it is for personnel safety. 2. Is it an ESD violation to have
