As the damages caused by the electrostatic discharge on sophisticated components have been valued more and more by the companies from various industries, ESD workbench has been widely used in factory workshops.
What is ESD Workbench
The ESD workbench, also known as an anti-static workbench, is a type of workbench, widely used in the electronics industry and the places with strict anti-static electricity requirements. It can guarantee the safety of electrostatic-sensitive components.

Principle
The anti-static workbench table is generally made of anti-static melamine high-pressure decorative laminate which also is known as anti-static fireproof board and the conductive substrate. The conductive substrate is generally conductive particleboard or a graphite composite board so that the tabletop has overall anti-static performance. Static electricity can be directed to the ground through an anti-static surface or a ground wire.
Composition
The composition of the anti-static workbench mainly includes the workbench frame, workbench top, drawers, boards, lighting lamps, socket panels, grounding wires, etc.
Frame
The frame of ESD workbench adopts industrial aluminum profile, also known as an all-aluminum frame. The frame has a simple structure, without welding, easy to disassemble, with strong expand-ability. It is beautiful, resistant to corrosion, no dust, no fingerprints, easy to clean, and has a long service life.
Ground wire
The ground wire is to let static electricity discharge to the ground smoothly, so the ESD workbench must be installed with a ground wire for better anti-static function. Drawers, sockets, lighting can be customized according to different needs.
Countertop Materials
1. Heavy-duty anti-static workbench top with 50mm thickness
2. Light anti-static workbench desktop with 30mm thickness
3. Stainless steel worktable top with 30mm, 50mm thickness
4. carbon steel work table countertop with 30mm, 50mm thickness

Installation
1. Ensure the size of the anti-static table mat according to the work requirements. Thoroughly clean the lower surface, the upper surface of the table mat and each component.
2. Lay foil tape on the lower surface of the anti-static table mat and aluminum foil is only allowed to overlap at the folding place. Pressing the knob joint from the front of the anti-static table pad can be replaced with other nuts to make it pass through the table pad and foil tape to ensure good electrical contact.
3. Lay the prepared anti-static table mat on the work surface flatly. And ensure the area of anti-static mats according to the range of activities of the worker. Place the workbench on an anti-static floor mat.
4. The ESD workbench is grounded, and the anti-static desk mat and ground pad are connected in series with a resistor to the ground wire configuration system with a cross-sectional area of stranded copper core flexible wire or cable. It is best to inspect before use after installation.
ESD workbench has the outstanding function of anti-static for the places with high requirements of Electrostatic Discharge protected, widely used in the electronics industry for electronics production, repairing, testing, and any work-related to electronics.
