One key benefit for users in this regard is the option to define and visualise their very own EPA.ĭiscover what the new Work Bench Configurator with its 3D view and smart functions can do – especially for ESD safety. The tool also focuses intently on ESD safety. Thanks to its 3D view, intuitive drag-and-drop controls, a whole range of intelligent functions and automatically generated project documentation, it has never been so quick and simple to design customised work benches.

The new Work Bench Configurator is revolutionising the planning process for industrial assembly workstations in general and ESD benches in particular. This was once a time-consuming task… but not any more. An ESD bench’s intended purpose is a decisive factor in the design process. In particular, moving bench components should not be overlooked, since they too accumulate charges due to friction. When it comes to configuring an ESD bench, there are a number of aspects to think about – from a volume-conductive ESD table top and a conductive table frame all the way to ESD-safe storage surfaces and matching additional components, such as Hooks, Holders and Parts Containers. Whether it’s in the form of a smaller electrostatic protected area (EPA) limited to one bench or as part of a larger EPA covering an entire facility – an ESD work bench is systematically designed to dissipate any charges in a controlled manner and thus keep both products and people safe. Humans can only sense an ESD pulse once it reaches around 3,000 volts, yet the friction and movement at a bench alone can generate charges of up to 6,000 volts. All it takes is a charge of just 100 volts for such mishaps to occur. Specially designed ESD benches are an absolute must for ensuring the trouble-free assembly of electronic components.įailing to consider the issue of ESD can quickly lead to an uncontrolled electrostatic discharge that wipes information off a magnetic data storage device or destroys an electronic component.
