Air discharge ESD test and measurement has been an inconsistent task due to the difficulty of holding the ESD simulator gun and zapping the same spot. The inconsistency of the ESD discharge lies in the waveforms generated by different ESD gun designs. The loosely controlled IEC and ISO standard did not specify air discharge waveform parameters. However, the air discharge waveform is a function of many parameters such as the ESD simulator physical structure, the ESD gun tip shape, the approaching speed, angle and path, the test environment temperature, and humidity and pressure. All these parameters vary the arch length and ESD zap location of the device under test.
ES614 Series ESD Simulator Air Discharge Work Station has a digitally controlled linear guide way system developed to control the ESD simulator approaching speed and travel path for air discharge tests and calibration. This instrument greatly improves air discharge test consistency in terms of the approaching speed and travel path. It also integrates high precision environmental sensors including temperature, relative humidity and pressure to record the ESD test related environmental parameters.
