FAQ
Q1: What is the ESD Series?
A: ESD Series is CONVUM's vacuum pad line designed for electrostatic discharge control, using Elec-Con material for ESD-sensitive vacuum handling applications.
Q2: How is ESD Series different from standard vacuum pads?
A: The series uses conductive material with controlled surface resistance and 100% inspection, rather than relying on a surface coating for static control.
Q3: Why does it emphasize coating-free conductivity?
A: Because the conductivity comes from the material itself, helping reduce the variation that can occur with coated surfaces over time.
Q4: How is surface resistance managed?
A: Surface resistance is measured under ANSI/ESD STM11.13 and controlled at 1.0×106 to 9.9×109 Ω, with inspection performed on every shipped item.
Q5: Can it be used with ionizers?
A: Yes. The Elec-Con material is ozone-resistant and can be used together with ionizers.
Q6: What pad shapes are available?
A: Flat, thin lip, two-stage bellows, and three-stage bellows styles are available, with sizes up to Φ30.
Q7: What applications is it suited for?
A: It is suited for electronic components, circuit boards, and other vacuum handling tasks that require ESD control.
Q8: What should be confirmed before selection?
A: It is recommended to confirm the workpiece size, surface condition, required pad geometry, whether ionizer use is needed, and the mounting or setting screw arrangement.
