New Del-Tron Slides Meet Low
Electrostatic Discharge Requirements |
Del-Tron now offers precision linear motion devices that meet low electrostatic discharge requirements common in the semiconductor and electronics industries. The new slides are coated with electroless nickel, an alloy of nickel and phosphorous produced

by autocatalytic chemical reduction with hypophosphite. The plating allows static charges to dissipate, helping the slides to meet requirements for automated equipment. Standard anodized coating, used on conventional slides, is an insulator that can hold a static charge because of the insulating effect of the coating material. Electroless nickel plating, on the other hand, is a preferred treatment in the semiconductor industry for non-stainless steel surfaces because it provides a conductive path for dissipating static charges. The best way to eliminate static on machine components is to make sure the surface of the component has a direct path to ground. Proper grounding dissipates any discharges away from the product.
Del-Tron’s "ESD" electroless nickel plated slides are plated to ASTM standard B 733-97. This process is available for Del-Tron’s line of ball slides, crossed roller slides and both ball and crossed roller multi-axis positioning stages. Treatment for "ESD" is available for a small premium which lessens as larger quantities of slides are purchased. A two week minimum delivery currently exists.

| Del-Tron Precision began operations in 1974 supplying original equipment manufacturers with the world’s first commercially available subminiature ball slide. Since then, thousands of Del-Tron ball slides have been incorporated into medical analyzing and testing machines, semiconductor processing equipment, computer peripherals, assembly systems, scientific instruments and many other machines. Del-Tron’s modern corporate campus boasts highly automated computer controlled equipment and final inspection of 100% of all products has been Del-Tron’s policy since its inception.
