ESD workbenches in medical technology

In medical technology, many components are not only sensitive but also safety-relevant - nothing should be left to chance when it comes to ESD. Our ESD workbenches provide support with a stable design and special equipment that is easy to clean and can be adapted to special laboratory situations.

Typical areas of application for KARL ESD workbenches in medical technology:

- Assembly of diagnostic devices, implant systems or sensors

- Final inspection under laboratory conditions

- Repair and maintenance of medical electronics

ESD workbench for precision mechanics and optics

Small components, high accuracy: precision instruments that are particularly sensitive to voltage influences are produced in precision engineering. Thanks to finely adjustable table tops and accessories such as ESD lights or storage systems, KARL ESD workbenches ensure maximum safety down to the smallest detail.

Typical areas of application for KARL ESD workbenches in precision mechanics and optics:

- Adjustment and assembly tables for optical systems

- Working close to the cleanroom with sensitive sensors

- ESD-protected individual workstations with monitor setup

ESD workbenches in training and apprenticeships

If you want to learn how to work professionally with electronics right from the start, you need a safe, adaptable and easy-care environment. In vocational schools, technical colleges, universities and training workshops, ESD workbenches from KARL ensure that young professionals of all sizes can work safely and practically.

Typical areas of application for KARL ESD workbenches in training and teaching:

- Apprenticeships for electronics technicians, mechatronics technicians or IT professions

- Learning stations in laboratories and workshops

- Group workstations in vocational schools or training centres

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is caused by friction, separation or movement of materials. In everyday industrial applications, sometimes all it takes is a single movement and voltages build up that can damage or completely destroy sensitive electronic components.

The ESD workbench prevents such discharges by dissipating electrostatic charges in a controlled manner via the conductive HPL table top, the coated steel frame and a central earthing point. In contrast to a conventional workbench, an ESD workbench actively protects your components and is designed for industrial use.

Do you want to reliably safeguard your processes? We build high-quality ESD workbenches with over 50 years of experience.

The ESD workbench is an important component in a reliable ESD protection concept - but only one part of the whole. This is because electrostatic discharges occur not only at the bench, but also when walking, handling or storing. It is crucial that all components work together: Floors, clothing, tools, processes and the people who apply electricity and use their hands there.

If you want to delve deeper, you will find everything you need to know for an effective ESD protection concept here:

• Find out how ESD arises, what risks are associated with it - and what measures really protect in practice: ESD protection: basics, measures, tips
• Check whether your team and your processes comply with the applicable standards: clearly summarised in our ESD checklist
• Learn the central building blocks of a holistic protection concept know
