item Work Bench Configurator – design your assembly workstation online

Simply drag and drop components in the item Work Bench Configurator to plan your assembly workstation. The 3D view in the work area shows you a front view of your solution along with all the details. Smart functions and built-in rules guide you to your ideal solution when designing your assembly work bench.

Planning assembly workstations is now easier than ever

The item Work Bench Configurator is smart, automatically adding essential small parts and fixings and warning you when parts could potentially clash. It offers expert assistance when planning an entire electrostatic protected area (EPA), too. What’s more, it creates a QR code for the automatically generated project documentation so you can share your project with everyone you’re working with straight away.

From the online tool to your workshop: Thanks to fully digitalised processes, workstations can be delivered fast – whether they’re in standardised or customised widths.

Put together an ESD-safe assembly workbench

Specifying a custom EPA takes just a few clicks, with the protected zone being depicted as a transparent area. The moment a non-dissipative component is placed within the EPA, a warning pops up. You then get to decide for yourself whether to remove the component in question altogether, replace it or tolerate it.

One particularly practical benefit when planning a workstation in this tool is that you can swap a standard table top for an ESD-safe version – or vice versa – whenever you like.
