What are ESD Tools?
What exactly are ESD tools?
ESD equipment includes everything from a basic antistatic screwdriver to a multimillion-dollar automated assembly line with a full ESD Protected Area (EPA).
ESD Tools include a variety of tools, machines, garments and infrastructure that are used in electrostatically sensitive environments. These ESD-sensitive environments include more than just manufacturing facilities with computer parts.
Spaces that you might find these tools are ammunition factories, surgery theatres, aerospace manufacturing operations, vehicle plants and even a computer repair shop.
Essentially, ESD equipment is any kind of tool, implementation, or object that is utilised to ensure users are safe from and informed of any possible threat of electrostatic discharge within a space or application.
ESD Equipment is mainly used to:
- Prevent the build-up of static electricity
- Protect workers and products from an accidental discharge by lessening the possibility of charge
- Safely discharge any static electricity that gets generated in the area
Types of ESD equipment include:
- Tools
- Matting
- Clothing and PPE
- Furniture
- Storage Equipment
- Grounding Equipment
- Specialized cleaning chemicals
