I can't really believe your serious about this. In the first place, if your print shop
has dust or other contaminants floating around, then the housekeeping needs lokking at.
Secondly, in the real world, You are more likely to charge a board just by the air
friction moving it between the printer and the placement machine. Do you REALLY check
boards for static before allowing components to touch it? I've never seen that done.
It is possible to be more royalist than the king.
