Professional Anti-static Measures
It's impossible to completely eliminate static electricity in the daily work environment; we can only reduce its generation, i.e., suppress the accumulation of static charge. For example, strictly regulate production operation speeds and ensure equipment surfaces are as smooth and flat as possible. If suppression is impossible, conduction is necessary to discharge the charge to the ground. Examples include workers wearing wristbands, anti-static clothing, and anti-static shielding bags. If conduction is insufficient, neutralization is required, such as using an ionization gun. Therefore, suppression, conduction, and neutralization are the three principles of anti-static measures. Specific protective methods include:
1. Grounding – The human body is grounded through wrist straps; the human body is grounded through anti-static shoes and anti-static flooring; workbenches are grounded; testing instruments and tool holders are grounded; anti-static transport carts, boxes, and racks are grounded whenever possible; anti-static chairs are grounded.
2. Static Shielding – Static-sensitive components may be exposed to static-generating areas during storage or transportation. Static shielding can weaken the impact of external static electricity on electronic components. The most common methods are anti-static shielding bags and anti-static turnover boxes for protection.
