ProCenter Plus with ESD Control
Any components that are sensitive to electrostatic should be processed in the ProCenter Plus™ with ESD Control. This unit delivers maximum protection against an ESD event.
What is the ProCenter Plus?
The ProCenter Plus is everything necessary to a MicroBlasting system except the blaster. It is a compact, chair-height workstation with an integrated dust collection system and an attached air dryer. It confines the blast area while a built‐in HEPA‐equipped dust collector extracts spent abrasive. It is easy to use and easy to maintain. The ProCenter Plus partners best with the AccuFlo® to form a complete manual MicroBlasting system.
The ProCenter Plus with ESD control has additional features that collaboratively neutralize surface charges and reduce electrostatic build-up.
Features that Neutralize ESD
Ionizer Bar
Floods the entire work chamber with ionized air to neutralize static build-up. Built-in sensors monitor the effectiveness of the ion flow and indicator lights alert the operator to any changes in operation.
Grounded Handpiece
Works with the conductive nozzle to provide a conduit for static, sending it straight to the grounding jacks instead of onto a PCB.
Conductive Nozzle
Limits the potential for a charge to travel to the board from the abrasive hose. A conductive nozzle also blocks a charge that could arc from the operator. Should be used with the grounded handpiece.
Grounding Jacks
Provide convenient connection points for a wrist-stat, the edge grounding bar, and the needle probe.
Edge Connector Grounding Bar
Grounds all edge pins on boards that have edge connectors. This bar is made of conductive rubber material and connects to a grounding jack on the floor of the ProCenter Plus.
Needle Probe
Pierces through the coating and grounds a target trace when the defect is known to be an open trace with no conductive path to ground.
Black Light
Installed for coatings that are more easily visible under ultra-violet lighting.
