3M and Challenger Components
offer customer facility auditing for static management
18th November 2008, UK
– Diversified technology company 3M is offering an
Electro Static Discharge risk assessment service to customers in
the UK and Ireland in association with channel partner Challenger
Components Ltd.
The aim is to help companies identify where electro-static
discharge may
or could in future cause problems, and to then advise solutions and work practices
in order to eliminate any issues.
Says Adrian Hyner, General Sales and Marketing Manager, 3M Electronics
“Static is a potential problem everywhere in manufacturing, as well
as in assembly and installation, and particularly in electronics manufacturing
environments. The key problem is that although most companies know how ESD
(Electro Static Discharge) can damage products through any kind of handling
- and even take steps to counter it - work practices often mean that systems
are rendered ineffective.
Static damage can remain “hidden” until a failure occurs in the
field, multiplying many-fold costs and liabilities. Carrying out an audit
will allow customers to identify exactly where and when events occur, eliminate
them and monitor to ensure compliance.
“This is why we find that
a face-to-face review pays massive dividends and why we are offering
customers a risk assessment service,” adds Adrian Hyner.
The service forms part of 3M’s expanding presence in the static control
market. 3M recently acquired SCC and Credence Technologies, positioning 3M
as the market leader in static management.
The company’s extensive static
control range includes: a wide variety of personnel protection products;
flooring; workstation products; tapes; bags and other materials for packaging
and transportation.
3M also provides monitoring equipment that provides data
on static events.
Says Adrian Hyner,“I believe that no other company has as broad a
range of static control products as 3M which, historically, has been one of
the strongest brands and innovators in this market. We are able to meet just
about any customer’s needs, whether they are looking for volume consumable
products, or a bespoke service.”
New 3M Static Control Catalogue
To demonstrate the breadth of its static control products, 3M has
just launched a new 140-page catalogue.
