Ken,

Somewhere our IT dept. found Viewsonic 15" LCDs for our assemblers at a
reasonable price. They work well for our paperless (almost) shop floor and have
a nice small footprint. We have 35 in use. The real problem is the local
workbench PCs which are relative relics.

We are looking to step up to the 21st century and put computers at each
operators work station. With the amount of paper that we use that should
save a tree or two along with all the other obvious benefits.

The question I've been asked is what about ESD? I've taken a static meter
and went all around a monitor and got some interesting results. The screen
and plastic around the screen showed only a couple of hundred volts. Just
around to the sides of the screen it jumped to a few thousand volts. Further
back on the sides it dropped back to a couple of hundred.

My question to you all is, what do you do with monitors at work stations
where you are handling static sensitive components?

Thanks,

KennyB
