ESD Workplaces Karl

Karl FIFO shelving systems deliver verified surface resistance of 10⁵-10⁹ Ω per DIN EN 61340-5-1, making them fully compliant for EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area) environments. The shelving units are engineered for first-in/first-out material flow, with load-bearing frames supporting up to 150 kg per shelf level and guide rails sized to accommodate standard ESD containers in formats 400 x 300 mm and 600 x 400 mm. Electrical continuity from shelf surface through grounding point is maintained below 3.5 x 10⁷ Ω total resistance, satisfying IEC 61340-5-1 system earthing requirements.

As a specialist distributor for Karl ESD workstation systems, esd.equipment stocks 12 FIFO shelving configurations within the broader ESD Arbeitsplatzsysteme range. All units are sourced directly from Karl and comply with DIN EN 61340-5-2 (handling of electrostatic sensitive devices) and the IEC 61340 series, ensuring traceability and audit-ready documentation for regulated production environments.
