ESD workbenches are used in assembly lines and reparation workplaces to prevent Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) events from occurring and damaging the product. They are a key element of many Electrostatic Discharge Protected Areas (EPAs) in the electronic industry.
ESD workbenches integrate high resistance dissipative surfaces rather than fully conductive surfaces. Dissipative materials have a surface resistance between 1 x 105 and 1 x 1011 ohms/square, and conductive materials have a surface resistance lower than 1 x 105 ohms/square. The high resistance dissipative surfaces have high impedance which prevents short circuits and fast discharges, reducing the chances of product damage. The safety of the operator is also better ensured with a high resistance dissipative surface, in the unlikely event of high voltages to be present in the system.
At EPBS-Solutions we understand that every enterprise is different and so are its requirements. VIKING ESD workbenches include a wide line of functional, convertible and interchangeable modules, adaptable for each particular enterprise. Together with you we can work on customizing the workbenches and all its accessories to offer you the best solution.
To facilitate configuration and simplify the choice of different elements, our customers are welcomed to use the online CONFIGURATOR, which helps to interactively select all necessary workbench parts and type.
Besides our ESD workbenches we offer an extensive range of ESD Chairs, ESD Clothing and Footwear, ESD Safe Packaging, ESD Testing and measuring equipment, ESD Tools, etc.
An ESD workbench typically consists of a number of different elements:
Static dissipative work surface: The working surface of an ESD workbench should have a resistance value between 1.0 x 109 Ω and 1.0 x 106 Ω . This is a requirement to prevent any static discharge that might damage the product. Additionally, it is necessary to avoid any safety issue caused by high voltages discharge.
Shelves : Electronic parts of the product and working tools might be placed in the shelves, thus, to avoid the accumulation of static charges, these need to be as well static dissipative. In fact, all elements of the ESD workbench should be static dissipative.
Cupboards: The cupboards in ESD workbenches might be used to store working tools, thus, as for the shelves, these should have static dissipative surfaces.
ESD wrist straps: Even though not an element of the ESD workbench, the ESD wrist strap is a necessary equipment of this working space. Every operator should wear an ESD wrist strap to ensure that no discharge occurs.
Wiring: All static dissipative surfaces, wrist straps and metalwork should be connected to a common grounding point. It is important to place the wiring in a suitable manner considering electrical safety and discharge effectiveness.

A good maintenance of the ESD workbench is necessary for a long lasting static dissipative effect on the surfaces. The following steps are recommended:
– Avoid damaging the surfaces with sharp objects.
– Frequently clean the surfaces to prevent accumulation of grease or other dirt films that impede the static dissipation. Cleaning should be done according to the manufacture manual.
– Do not use wax based cleaners or solvents because they may attack the dissipative surface.
– Do not use abrasive cleaners because they may remove or damage the dissipative surface.
– Test periodically the electrical connections and surfaces of the ESD workbench to ensure that its ESD protection is working.
