Magnification is essential to a large number of industrial applications Modern manufacturing includes all intermediate processes required for the production and integration of a product’s components. Many of these processes including assembly, inspection and rework, rely on the use of illuminated magnifiers. A number of industries are particularly sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD), and need to establish measures for eliminating static. ESD-Safe magnifiers are a valuable tool in these industries as they help guard against uncontrolled static dissipation. The history of Luxo illuminated...

Wave® LED ESD ESD-Safe rectangular lens LED magnifier ESD-Safe WAVE LED is especially designed for use in static sensitive environments where electrostatic discharges can prove fatal for electronic components. The shade and arm are powder-coated with a metal-laced paint that measures 104 Ω/sq. (conductive). The remaining components are molded in a material that measures 105-10 6 Ω/sq. (static dissipative). Since the surfaces are no longer insulative, triboelectric charging results in drastically lower voltages, especially since any charge (under 50 volts) is uniformly distributed throughout the...
