The choice of a seated or standing working position is dependent upon the task to be executed. The height of the work surface is determined by such factors as size and weight of the part, precision requirement, assembly process, repetitiveness etc. Height adjustability is especially useful when the size of the products being handled varies or when several people use the same workstation. When designing a work space for a seated operation, leg space requirements must be considered. The recommended space should be at least 31.5” wide and 35.5” deep at floor level. For standing work, the required space is much less. Reaching distances and heights To improve working postures in assembly work, the most-often used parts should be placed into the optimal horizontal working area within the operator’s sight. Avoid overly large or deep workbenches, which can cause improper reach and reduced productivity. Assembly work is most ergonomic when parts are within easy view and reach. The vertical work area and reach zone can be fine-tuned with accessories. Our height adjustable arms optimize work movements and keep parts or tools within easy access. Operators can work with wrists and arms in optimal posture with shoulders relaxed. Tilted bin rails and shelves keep the wrist in a neutral position when picking parts. The tilt angle also provides easy identification of the parts with the proper viewing angle.
