Determine how much weight the workbench / workstation will be required to lift (i.e., the “dynamic lift capacity” that will be needed). Be sure to include the weight of all fixtures, components and tooling that will be positioned on the worksurface.
Choose one of our Pedestal, Four-Legged or NEW “Z” Bases, depending on the weight requirements, the size of worksurface needed, and the preferred method of adjustability (i.e., manual, electric).
In addition to either manual or electric drives, AMD’s Operator Adjustable™ Workstations can be equipped with a number of options such as tilt tops, footrest, and casters. (All base options must be incorporated into units as they are built, and therefore must be specified at the time the initial order is placed.)
AMD’s standard worksurfaces include:
- 1-1/8” High-Pressure Laminate (standard T-mold or bullnose)
- 1-3/4” Maple (bullnose)
- 1/4" Steel (powder coated)
The selection of an upright or overhead frame depends on the number and type of tools and accessories that will be needed. (Overhead frames are required when tools are used with balancers, or when overhead lighting is required. Upright frames can be used to accommodate accessories such as bin rails, tack boards and electric bars.) All AMD bases are designed with receiver pockets which permit the addition or substitution of either upright or overhead frames at any time.
