ESD ionizing bar 650QAC

Meech International, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of static control and web cleaning solutions, has today launched the 650QAC ionising bar. Available as part of Meech’s existing Hyperion range, the 650QAC, combats electrostatic discharge on electronics production lines and includes a number of unique features not available elsewhere on the market. Production lines in the electronics industry, particularly those for flat panel screen products, are high risk environments for electrostatic discharge due to the build-up of static during the assembly process. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can destroy sensitive electronic components or cause damage that may not become evident for weeks or months later. Products that don’t pass quality checks are often marked for immediate disposal, while latent defects, identified later in the product’s life, can cause deterioration in performance. Without reliable static control measures in place, electronics manufacturers risk incurring increased costs, due to avoidable product failure, while also suffering consumer dissatisfaction and a damaged reputation. Meech’s 650QAC is a highly effective ioniser, designed for the electronics manufacturing industry. Due to its ability to ionise down to a residual voltage of less than (+/-) 35 volts within seconds, it is able to maintain excellent performance on busy, high speed production lines.
