Regarding product development, the electrostatic discharge simulator, often known as “ESD Gun,” plays a critical role. This is vital to every esd testing facility. Simulators come in a variety of forms, including those that test components using the charged device model (CDM), the human body model (HBM), or the machine model (MM), as well as system-level testing outlined in standards like ISO 10605 or IEC 61000-4-2.
Using an ESD simulator, test engineers and technicians may do IEC 61000-4-2-compliant testing on a product. EMC practitioners and product developers can also swiftly get helpful information on the EUT’s resistance to external transient electromagnetic phenomena.
To get the CE mark, as well as for most automotive component suppliers, ESD testing is a requirement as part of the electromagnetic compatibility testing needed by the manufacturers. The human component can be eliminated by automating these tests.
Main models
There are three main models for esd testing: human, machine, and charged devices. All three models imitate the charging and discharging events in manufacturing processes and equipment by emulating the actions of the human body, a machine, and a charged gadget.
Different discharge networks or RC Modules (specific resistance and capacitance values) may be inserted into several ESD guns’ replaceable modules. Like loading a handgun, these modules are often fitted into the handle of the ESD gun. Over 50 different combinations of resistance and capacitance exist depending on the standards and electronics in use.
Simulators of electrostatic discharge (ESD) generate an extremely high voltage, high current, and high-frequency pulse. The product does not meet specifications when this pulse is applied to the EUT.’ EUT design flaws show up as automatic resets, program failures, or other unexpected product behaviors. LISUN provides the best ESD guns for these kinds of testing.
Uses of ESD gun
Product designers may use ESD simulators and developers to speed up product development timeframes by enabling designers and developers to identify product design weaknesses earlier rather than later in the product development schedules.
Other ESD gun attributes that best match this will address your testing requirements after resolving the operator competence issue. An ergonomic, lightweight, and non-fatiguing design is essential if ESD testing takes place for an extended period. Suppose the display is simple to read and control and provides status information on successful air discharge and other critical metrics. In that case, ergonomics should also be considered (state of battery charge, the current-voltage polarity setting, etc.).
Some considerations while buying ESD guns
Can the ESD simulator’s various capabilities and accessories help shorten product development?
The discharge network and the discharge remover are two more factors to remember while making your final decision on an ESD gun. If an external device is required, or must you construct one, is there a built-in charge bleed-off feature in the simulator?
Finally, what type of warranty is offered, and how will repairs be handled? How frequently and where will the pistol be shipped back to the manufacturer for calibration?
