Affordable Range Of ESD Work Table

The constant evolution of warfare tactics and defence technology has led to massive restructuring of radar, telematics, propulsion and other systems used in military and space applications. Compared to earlier versions, the current systems are more compact, refined and demanding. They include highly sophisticated electronics which are smaller and more intricate than ever before. This has made electronic components even more susceptible to ESD damage. During any phase of manufacturing or testing, electro-static accumulated charge can damage and destroy the minute and complex construction of today's miniature electronic parts.

Just imagine the implications if an electronic component fails in a critical application like telematics of a missile, radar system of a tank or propulsion system of a submarine in the field. The risks and ramifications are immense, hence ESD prevention and protection are vital to improving reliability in defence electronics manufacturing and testing.

COMBATTING THE MENACE OF ESD

In the Defence sector, in electronics areas including those dedicated to R&D, Manufacturing, Testing, Training and Storage, electro-static charge is an invisible danger. Electro-static charge accumulated on the work surface can damage PCB assemblies, microprocessors, memory chips and other high impedance components.

Industry demands and global manufacturing standards require ESD workstations that provide a static-safe work environment. Messung Global Connect in India offers flexible storage and workspace solutions to meet the diverse needs of defence facilities.

A quick look at the main features of these ESD-safe work benches will explain their superior functionality and ergonomics for use in Electronic Assembly and Test & Measuring.

Main features of AFM-PLUS ESD Work Tables

Both the Mild Steel Sr. and Mild Steel Jr. work tables share common features such as the international styling, world-class finish, and ESD protection in the ESD range 106-107 Ohms as per IEC 61340-5-1.

Other special features of Messung's ESD-safe, electronic assembly tables are:

Volume ESD :

Volume ESD is the revolutionary technology that embeds carbon polymers in the base material used to manufacture the ESD product. This makes the entire worktop or storage shelves conductive with dissipative lamination on both the sides of the workstation. The properties for discharging the charge are uniformly present throughout the volume of the material as compared to its presence only on the contact surface in traditional technology.

ESD Worktop :

The worktop has a Volumetric ESD board with resistance between 106 to 107 Ohm, fitted on a high pressure laminated particle board with ABS 2 mm edge binding. It is Formaldehyde Emission - Class E1 (normally inflammable) as per EN 438.

The ergonomically curved front corners (50 mm radius) of the table top minimise risk of injury caused by bumping into sharp corners and facilitate free movement.

The weight carrying capacity is 400 Kg for the heavy-duty Senior version, and 200 Kg for the compact Junior version.

Ergonomic Rack:

The work stations are fitted with an ergonomic rack for hanging trays to hold special tools, cables, inspection equipment, etc.

LED Light :

The AFM-PLUS ESD work tables come fitted with a 20-Watt sleek LED tube light with 2000 lumens intensity that provides soft radiation-free, glare-free light.

Electrical Mounting Panel:

The tables have a mounting panel that is equipped with high standard universal power sockets (5/15 Amp) and with standard MCB of 2 pole/32 Amp.

Two exclusive and advantageous features of the Mild Steel Sr. are:

ESD Instrument Shelf :

This is a Volumetric ESD board with resistance between 106 to 107 Ohm. A high pressure laminated particle board with ABS 2 mm edge binding, it has 120 Kg weight carrying capacity and easily adjustable height, adding to the functionality of this ESD safe table.

19" standard based Instrument Rack

Messung's test & measuring tables can be fitted with a special horizontal 19 inch rack system mounted on the table. This provides tremendous benefit for users. Instruments are traditionally kept on the table top which leaves very little free space for the engineer to work. With the 19" standard system, all the instruments are integrated inside it and the connections are provided on the front face of the table. This helps in de-cluttering the worktable, and the complete workspace area is thus available for testing work.

Messung is a pioneer and leader in industrial automation with four decades experience of the electronics industry. This legacy has helped Messung understand the needs and challenges of modern electronics manufacturing and testing.

Industries use different kinds of tables according to their needs. Many industries manufacture and distribute the tables according to the needs of the industries. They not only manufacture the tables but also customized it according to the needs of the industries. Customization of the industrial tables has solved the problems of those industries who not find the pre manufacture tables. They sometimes find hard tables with proper size and all the necessary features. Industrial work tables are standard in most of the industrial use and settings. But some industries required ESD and static controls features on the work table.

Let’s understand ESD

ESD stands for Electrostatics discharge which is produce by the two electronically charged objects caused by contact. It is common features and it is common phenomenon while combing your hair and rubbing your sweater. Though the ESD does not cause any harm to the person. A small amount of ESD is very dangerous to the electronic components. In some cases the result could be a sudden death of the electronic device or gradually.

So to protect the devices many industries installed ESD mats or wear ESD wrist strap. But many floors in the industries do not support the ESD mats and in some case they could be disturbing according to the work surface. To tackle this situation an ESD work table is best to use and is preferred in many conditions. The table is manufacture and is made to provide protection for people working with the sensitive electrical components.

Customization of work table fitted with the static control can be done by the manufacture. The table surface material will have already installed ESD/Static material instead of the coating only apply to the surface of the table. Installing these features eliminates the need of a laptop mat which can be costly and may damage after a long period of time. In comparison to that working table may come in custom design and tables designed for standing task.               

In work tables a static work may done only in the upper part of the table and can gradually deteriorate. In comparison to pre installed ESD/Static material in which the whole table is secure. Beside this the table also protects the electric devices from other unwanted damages.

 These ESD work tables also are provided with the grounding accessories. Good industrial work benches come with a tubular steel frame which is fully welded connection which avoids dust to collect. The legs of the table may be fitted with casters to crate mobility of the table. Powder coat and standard polyurethane paint are the best options for giving it a finishing touch.

Other futures of ESD work table:

As we have discussed the need for ESD work table for the industries.ESD work table protects the electronic components. Other features of industrial tables are:

Aesthetics and style: The tables not only protect the electric components but also give beauty and style to the workplace. Adjustable tables and chair that are perfectly in matched with the working environment also provide cleanness and hassle free working area.

Toughness: These tables are made with high durable materials and you can be assured that they will last long. The tables are made of steel, wood and leather and are way ahead of the ordinary furniture.

Affordability: While most of the ordinary furniture will provide you with superb design and durableESD work table furniture will go ahead a step and will protect the electric components from electrostatic discharge. Spending money on ESD tables will always be futile in comparison to ordinary furniture piece.
