Figure 56. Typical Manufacturing Work Station
Notes for Figure 56:
1. 1/16-inch conductive sheet stock covering bench-top work area.
2. Ground strap.
3. Wrist strap in contact with skin.
4. Static neutralizer (ionized air blower directed at work). Primarily for use in areas
where direct grounding is impractical.
5. Room humidifier. Primarily for use in areas where the relative humidity is less than
45%. Caution: building heating and cooling systems usually dry the air, which
causes the relative humidity inside a building to be less than outside humidity.
The following steps should be observed during board cleaning operation:
1. Vapor degreasers and baskets must be grounded to an Earth ground. Operators
must likewise be grounded.
2. Brush or spray cleaning should not be used.
3. Assemblies should be placed into the vapor degreaser immediately upon removal
from the antistatic container.
4. Cleaned assemblies should be placed in antistatic containers immediately after
removal from the cleaning basket.
5. High-velocity air movement or application of solvents and coatings should be
employed only when module circuits are grounded and a static eliminator is directed
at the module. The use of static-detection meters for line surveillance is highly
recommended.
6. The use of static-detection meters for line surveillance is highly recommended.
