Unveiling the Impact of Electrostatics on Health Care, Manufacturing, Quality and Reliability
Wednesday, May 8
Speaker: Carl Newberg, Simco-Ion
Join us as we delve into the captivating world of static charge –
- demystifying its origins
- understanding the impact of electrostatic discharge (ESD) on electronics
- understanding electrostatic attraction (ESA) on contamination control
By examining historical insights and envisioning the future of static charge, we'll navigate trends and strategies shaping the control of ESD and ESA in key manufacturing sectors. Taking a visionary approach to static charge is key for electronic and medical device manufacturing, as well as in healthcare settings.
