I have a question regarding the wearing of ESD smocks. Getting ESD discipline in place is hard work and I need to make sure that technically accurate information is available to avoid undermining the entire effort in achieving this. Your comments please.
Plastics do generate static field when there is friction.
Our Engineers decided that a bench earth ground was not needed at our work stations for ESD control. If so let me know on the failure mode and the simulation technique for the same on a brand new sample. We are using grounded floor mat for our ESD work station. These carts are made of steel and have white nylon caster wheels to roll on our concrete floor. These scales work in either AC or DC mode, and most of our problems seem to come from the scales when in DC mode.
