avero: The modular workstation system with ESD protection
ESD-protected workstations are crucial in modern electronics manufacturing. Our avero ESD workstations provide a reliable foundation for establishing ESD-safe work areas, ensuring a secure and controlled environment for sensitive electronic assembly. With protective features like conductive surfaces (including the worktop and various components) and an extensive selection of accessories, these workstations effectively prevent uncontrolled discharges from damaging the components being assembled.
In the avero workstation system, all tools and devices are interconnected through conductive surfaces and components, fostering a cohesive and secure working environment. Furthermore, all bott ESD products adhere to the applicable regulations and the IEC 61340-5-1 standard, providing optimal protection against electrostatic discharge and ensuring the safety of sensitive electronic components during assembly.

Electric field
The electric field is a ubiquitous phenomenon. It explains, for example, the transmission of electrical energy and the function of electronic circuits. Its combination with magnetism—the electromagnetic field—is fundamental to the propagation of light and radio waves, such as in everyday wireless communication.
An electrostatic charge arises when the charges of two materials are separated, with at least one material having to be a poor electrical conductor.
This creates a potential difference between these two materials—an electrostatic field.
Electrostatics always refers to stationary charges on an insulating surface. These charges are dissipated when the insulating properties are reduced or neutralized by ionization. The strength of the electric field is expressed by the force acting on a charge within that field.

The discharge pulse
As soon as the static charge bound to a fixed location is connected to ground, the electric field emanating from it is instantly balanced out. The magnitude of these balancing currents can be very large. The discharge of a conductor to ground produces an extremely short pulse with a very high current density. Although integrated protection circuits have been introduced in electronic components and chips, the feature sizes are becoming increasingly smaller. Therefore, the risk can only be reduced to an extent.
