Industrial workbenches are used day-in and day-out, for better or worse. The standard type of furniture can go through a lot of use, but when the businesses use heavy tools, sharp pieces, chemical cleaners and the assembly runs continuously, it takes a toll very quickly. When used in an ESD-protected environment, a marred workbench is not just an eyesore, it's a safety hazard. Scratches reduce surface resistivity, dents result in nonconstant contact points and worn edges allow static charge buildup to the surface which is not proper. Most ESD benches have warranties of 1 year or less which mirrors that of the industry acceptance of short product life. However, Shanghai Leenol has invented an ESD bench that offers a five-year warranty to doubt this notion. This is why our ESD bench redefines industrial durability.
Industrial-Grade Construction for Heavy-Daily Use
The basic concept of durability starts with materials. Light-gauge steel frames incorporated into many ESD benches, or particleboard benches, and the use of further hardware are employed to lower production costs. Under heavy use, these benches become unstable, wobble during assembly tasks, and show visible wear after just months.These benches droop under weight, shake as you are trying to put things together and definitely get worn out after months.
Leenol's ESD bench is constructed of heavy gauged steel framing and reinforced corner gussets. The work surface is of a high-pressure laminate (HPL) with a permanently dissipative top layer, that is, not a VOC coated surface that will gradually wear away. Adjustable leveling pads on legs to adjust for uneven floors while supporting frame structure. Drawer slides are designed to make up to thousands of cycles. Hardware is resistant to corrosion and can be field replaced when necessary. Built to industrial construction standards, the bench can be expected to provide long-lasting service on a high volume assembly line, test bench or auto repair shop.
Permanently Dissipative Surfaces That Do Not Wear Out
Most ESD benches are coated or matted and become ineffective after some time. Coatings become scratched, peeled or worn in highly-used areas. Mats move and warp around the edges or rip, causing static catches. Loss of the dissipative surface causes the bench to fail ESD requirements, even if the frame is perfectly functional. A permanently dissipative work surface is on Leenol's ESD bench. The anti-static property has been made into the material itself, as opposed to being coated on it. Surface resistivity is not affected by scratching or cleaning or by heavy use of glass surface. The bench meets IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD-2020, for the life of the product. A permanent protection that will not require periodic surface replacement or recertification - which saves operating expense over the life of the system. The five-year warranty comes from our belief that dissipative surface will last longer than most competitors offer.
Modular Design for Easy Repair and Upgrade
A durable product may not be irreparable. Actually, the long-lasting business machinery is created for servability. Numerous ESD benches are welded or built such that they are not easily repairable. If the drawer is broken, the foot is worn or the handle is broken, it's probably time to discard the bench altogether.
The modular design is key to Leenol's ESD bench. Replacement components for the drawers, shelves, casters, leveling feet and working surfaces. Rather, after years of use a drawer slide that has been worn out can be replaced. When a work surface is damaged following an accident, they can be replaced without having to throw away the entire frame. This modularity helps the bench to serve as long as possible beyond the warranty. It can also be moved around to adapt to changing work processes — for example, by adding a shelf, rearranging the drawer layout or replacing the work surface material.
Rigorous Quality Control and Certification
Any 5 year warranty is worthless without a consistent manufacturing quality. Leenol's production of ESD benches is accredited as an ISO 9001 quality management system. Every bench undergoes frame alignment, surface flatness, hardware torque, and ground connection checks. Surface resistivity capability test is performed to meet IEC61340-5-1 & ANSI/ESD-2020 specifications. Where relevant, materials are certified as SGS and/or RoHS compliant.
This rigorous quality control eliminates the variability found in lower-cost benches.Nothing changes when a customer is sent a Leenol ESD bench as the bench will behave like the one they tested. The five year warranty isn't anything of a marketing trick; it is a fact delivered through many decades of engineering experience and customer feedback. For those who have changed their ESD benches every 2-3 years, the Leenol bench is a change in TCO.
Conclusion
Shanghai Leenol's ESD bench is built using industrial class construction materials, permanently dissipative surface, modular design for easy repair, and rigorous quality control, is certified by ISO 9001. The five year warranty commitment doesn't say much about a company's confidence in the products themselves — because it means much more. Leenol offers a full array of ESD products ranging from storage solutions to packing materials, factory furniture to personal protection, cleanroom products to testing tools; over two hundred in total. Contact Leenol today to discover the ESD bench that will last for years and the value that our 5 year warranty can bring to your facility costs.
