What are the ESD Classifications? A Look at the Machine Model

From All-Spec Industries

The machine model is the most straightforward of the three ESD classifications. It shows how sensitive a device is to other charged devices in the area.

Products & Services
Motor Test Equipment
Motor test equipment is used to measure and evaluate various electrical characteristics and performance parameters of motors.
Oscilloscopes
Oscilloscopes translate an electronic signal into a pattern or waveform on a screen. As it is traced across the screen, the waveform creates a signature of the signal's characteristics.
Signal Generators
Signal generators and waveform generators are used to test and align all types of transmitters and receivers, to measure frequency and to generate a signal, waveform or noise source. Signal generators can use AC energy, audio frequency (AF) and radio frequency (RF) to function.
Spectrum Analyzers and Signal Analyzers
Spectrum analyzers and signal analyzers display raw, unprocessed signal information such as voltage, power, period, wave shape, sidebands, and frequency. They can provide the user with a clear and precise window into the frequency spectrum.
