Statshield Smocks are groundable static control garments tested per ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 requirements. Shield electrostatic charges on clothing from ESD-susceptible items. Long sleeves have conductive knitted cuffs that provide skin contact for grounding in place of wrist straps. Hip-to-cuff grounding permits connection of a coil cord to a workstation ground point for “hands-free” grounding. A tab secures badge holders. Include two sleeve pen pockets. Are polyester with min. 9% carbon conductive nylon fibers woven in chain-link design. Provide panel-to-panel conductivity for continuous charge dissipation. Faraday Cage Effect is created around the torso and arms. Ten sizes are available.

FT Series digital infrared sensors are for non-contact detection of surface temperature. Have a broad IR spectrum and temperature sensing range from 32 to 2462ºF. Measure IR from distances of up to 3000 mm; sensor head can be mounted far from harsh environments. An optional air purge enclosure eliminates dust buildup. Amplifiers can be panel-mounted for temperature viewing and setup, or cabinet mounted on a DIN rail. Have a high-speed response of 10 ms. FT-H10 sensor is ideal for thin, fast-moving targets, including heat seals, hot melts, heat-treated or hot-formed parts. Analog output (4 mA to 20 mA) can be scaled to a user-defined range. Up to four sets of discrete upper and lower-limit outputs and emissivities can be stored.
