3D models of off-the-shelf telescopic slides
Telescopic ball bearing slide designer and manufacturer, Accuride International, has produced optimised 3D models of its 'off-the-shelf' products which can be downloaded via its website.
The magnifier head is coated with a special layer of static dissipative polyurethane that is resistant to normal wear and tear.
In addition, the joints which give Wave its unique flexibility are constructed in such a way that the transfer of charges from head to arm is impossible.
With an extra earth wire connecting the head and arm guarantees no static charges can build up on the arm without being drained away to earth.
Wave ESD has a 3.5 diopter (185%) lens that is also coated with a conductive layer that has the added benefit of reducing reflection for better viewing comfort.
The light source is provided by 2 independently switched low energy 7 watt tubes which give an average lux level of 1390 with a focal length of 280mm.
Wave ESD has been tested, approved and certified by NEMKO and is compliant with EN 100 015-1.
A bench mounting clamp is supplied as standard although a full range of mounting alternatives is available.
