With technology today, many materials are changing to non-conductive plastics and coatings, especially in the automotive, medical, and paper industries.\u00a0 As this happens, the manufacturing of these items becomes susceptible to static electricity.\u00a0 Static is caused by non-conductive materials having the electrons \u201crubbed\u201d from one atom to another.\u00a0 This generates highly charged areas, either negative or positive.\u00a0 Like magnets, the same charges repel and opposite charges attract.\u00a0 The electrically charged atoms can cause issues with stacking, alignment, dirt, labeling, and shocking operators.\u00a0 As the saying goes: \u201cWhat gets measured, gets done\u201d. If you don\u2019t know the source of the static problem, or the severity, it\u2019s often difficult to implement a proper solution. So how do we measure\u00a0static<\/a>? You can use a static meter. Here is a video showing you the features and functions of the EXAIR 7905 Static Meter<\/a>. <\/p>\n \n
