Heavy Duty | Height Adjustable | Workbench

Ergonomic accessories

An important feature of our ergonomic workbench is the range of accessories available. With them it is possible to reduce unnecessary movement by the operator even further when working at the workbench. They also improve the ergonomics of the environment by allowing better lighting and personal space for the operator.

Corner Worktop and Side Worktops are available as additional extras, the side worktops are allen key screwed to the desk frame at a height of your choice.

Electric Motor, Manual Hand Crank or Allen Key Height Adjustment cater for standing or seated users, while the Generous worktop depth and broad accessory range ensure that everything is within easy reach. Another feature of this new design is the flush bench footprint; benches can be placed side-by-side, back-to-back, or right up against walls with no unnecessary gaps. You can design your workstation to fi t your needs perfectly.

Extendable

Treha workbench can be a standalone bench but can also have extensions attached to it. There are two types of extensions available. One extension type is a side worktop (ST). Side worktops extend the length of a work surface up to 400mm on both sides and thus allow more working space within easy reach of the operator. Another extension type is a corner workbench (CT) that allows the creation of a U shaped (horse shoe) or L shaped layouts thus creating even more workspace for an operator than with an ST extension.

Importance of ESD Protection in Electronics Manufacturing.

Static electricity is generated every time materials rub against each other. A simple movement, such as a technician walking to their workbench, is enough to generate static electricity that could melt or deteriorate a device’s delicate electronic components. To protect your production areas you first have to understand why ESD (electrical static discharge) is generated and then put in place an anti-static policy.

If you’ve ever felt an electric jolt when getting out of your car or taking clothes out of the tumble dryer then you’ve felt ESD. Charges of static electricity build up from all the materials rubbing together and then pass through your body when they’re able to escape. Large jolts of ESD can create a visible spark, with the most impressive being that of lightning.

Static electricity is generated when the electrons on the surface of one object pass onto another, causing it to become positively charged. The additional electrons are then just waiting for the opportunity to escape through a conductive object that allows the passing of electricity. When this occurs it’s what is known as an ESD event.

The heat from ESD is extremely hot, and if it occurs to an electrical device then it can cause immediate or delayed damage. A charge of a mere 30 volts is enough to damage the most sensitive electrical components, with most at risk from charges of 100-200 volts. A ‘latent defect’ is when the damage isn’t immediately noticeable but has dramatically shortened a device’s life and can cause it to malfunction without warning. Consequently, ESD poses a serious risk to not only when a device is manufactured but to the remainder of its lifespan.

In order to protect your manufacturing area against ESD you need to turn it into an anti static EPA (ESD Protected Area). The principle of an EPA is that all your workbenches, trolleys, storage bins and other industrial furniture is connected to the ground so that static electricity can be dissipated (dispersed) safely. Your personnel can also be equipped with conductive shoes and wrist straps to dissipate built up static electricity safely.

You can also improve the robustness of your EPA by investing in ESD resistant products such as workbenches, industrial trolleys and storage bins. ESD resistant industrial furniture features static-dissipative laminate worktops, which will send electrical charges to earthing points and through cables to the ground.

With ESD a constant and undetectable threat to electronics manufacturing, introducing an anti-static EPA, with ESD resistant workbenches and other ESD resistant industrial furniture, is crucial for preventing immediate or delayed damage to your products.
