Most managers will think of the obvious benefits that come from upgrading to a high quality ESD work table: Protection from electrostatic discharge of sensitive components. That is indeed a valid reason, but it's only part of the story. Some of these advantages of high quality ESD work tables are not immediately apparent, but they add up and make the table much more beneficial to invest in than lower quality tables.
Consistent ESD Compliance Without Constant Monitoring
A quality ESD work table has been designed to comply with international standards such as IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20. This also translates to the fact that the table itself is an ESD-compliant product; there's no need for constant monitoring.
A good ESD table will have a work surface with 25mm thick HPL laminated designed specifically for ESD and a wide humidity range. This implies that the table can be used in various types of environments with no issues, even when the experimental environment doesn't fit the laboratory. Quality ESD work table (ESD compliant) can also be supported, this makes it easier to audit and decreases the risk of a gap in compliance being caused by inconsistent, retro fitted or temporary solutions.
Ergonomic Adaptability and Productivity Gains
Premium ESD work tables are created with the operator in mind. Electric floor plate heights enable workers to move easily between sitting and standing positions while working throughout the day. This may help to prevent drowsiness and help concentrate during long periods of work.
There are more than comforts to the benefits. A well-designed ESD work table allows accessories such as shelving, tool rails and lighting to organize and be efficient in the workspace. Workers do not have to keep reaching for or searching out tools all the time when at work.A more productive and smoother workflow of workers when they aren't continuously reaching and searching for tools. There are a few high quality models which can bear up to 320kg, which indicates that stability can be obtained while holding up large tools and assemblies. Such a durability helps to foster precision and efficiency in the work environment.
Modular Flexibility for Changing Production Needs
The majority of electronics assembly lines are not static. Product design changes, production quantities vary and layouts change. Soon an attached workbench becomes a limitation. Premium ESD work tables are modular, allowing them to be reconfigured to add new components to make them suitable for future production needs.
This is a great advantage of such flexibility. Some of the systems can reduce reconfiguration by up to 50% compared to fixed benches, therefore production lines can re-configure without any expensive downtime. Modularity is one means of protecting the investment by manufacturers who want to expand over the long-term. It provides a mechanism to make the ESD worktable a flexible infrastructure component.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency and Reduced Risk
The total price of the premium ESD work table is usually cheaper than the table. It will have a corrosion resistant, wear resistant, strong structure of cold-rolled steel that will last for many years without the need to replace. This durability and flexibility allows for reduced TOC and reduces the need to replace equipment.
These secret savings include product quality. With premium tables, there is a perfect control of the ESD, thereby reducing catastrophic failures and latent defects. An undetected discharge will result in the loss of a field that will cost much more than a quality versus budget work table. This gap is going to be a lot over the course of a production line.
