Why Your Factory Needs ESD Workstations and Chairs
In electronics manufacturing, even the smallest electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to sensitive components like PCBs, ICs, and sensors. To prevent these risks, it is essential to set up an ESD-safe environment—starting with ESD workstations and chairs.
This article explains why these tools are critical and how they help protect your products, your team, and your operations.
What Is an ESD Workstation?
An ESD workstation is a purpose-built worktable designed to prevent static discharge. It typically includes grounded materials such as ESD-safe mats and surfaces, along with wrist strap connections and optional ionizing systems. These components work together to safely neutralize static charges that may be present on tools, materials, or personnel.
A properly installed ESD workstation ensures a static-controlled area, which is crucial during the handling and assembly of static-sensitive devices.
Why Standard Chairs Are a Hidden Risk
Conventional chairs are often made with materials that can generate static through friction—especially when workers move or shift positions. ESD chairs, in contrast, are manufactured with static-dissipative materials and equipped with grounded casters or glides that safely discharge any accumulated static.
By including ESD chairs in your setup, you prevent electrostatic build-up that could damage electronic parts or disrupt sensitive measurements.
How ESD Furniture Reduces Failures and Costs
Without proper ESD control measures in place, your factory may face:
- Component failure during or after assembly
- Increased returns or warranty claims
- Product testing inconsistencies
- Unnecessary rework, production downtime, or equipment damage
Using certified ESD-safe furniture helps eliminate these risks, supporting compliance with standards such as ANSI/ESD S20.20 and IEC 61340.
