There’s no escaping electronics in the modern world. In practically every aspect of life and across industry, electronics rule. In industrial sectors such as Defence, Automotive, Pharmaceutical, FMCG, Education, Telecom, EMS, Power and many more, ESD protected areas are used for R&D, PCB assembly services, end-of-line testing, repair, training & didactic centres, calibration stations, etc. An ESD work table is a crucial component of any ESD protected area. It dissipates harmful electro-static discharges away from the user and minimises damage to the critical components and sensitive electronic assemblies being produced or tested.

There’s no escaping electronics in the modern world. In practically every aspect of
life and across industry, electronics rule. In industrial sectors such as Defence,
Automotive, Pharmaceutical, FMCG, Education, Telecom, EMS, Power and many
more, ESD protected areas are used for R&D, PCB assembly services, end-of-line
testing, repair, training & didactic centres, calibration stations, etc.
An ESD work table is a crucial component of any ESD protected area. It dissipates
harmful electro-static discharges away from the user and minimises damage to
the critical components and sensitive electronic assemblies being produced or
tested.
Messung AFM-PLUS ESD Work Tables
Messung is a trusted ESD products manufacturer in India, offering a range of ESD-
safe products that includes innovative, modular & customized laboratory
furniture systems designed to improve efficiency and enhance safety while
offering user comfort. With their passion and ongoing commitment to indigenous
innovation, Messung has designed and developed the AFM-PLUS series of Mild
Steel ESD work stations that assure electrostatic discharge protection especially
when using precision electronic components. AFM-PLUS tables deliver unmatched

2. structural flexibility, ergonomics and modularity, enabling customers to define
and optimize their work environment.
Let’s examine the main features of these ESD-safe work benches to understand
their suitability for use in electronic circuit board assembly and Test &
Measuring.
Main features of AFM-PLUS ESD Work Tables
The AFM-PLUS series delivers world-class looks and specifications at cost-effective
prices. The AFM-PLUS ESD tables are currently available in 2 versions: Senior with
400 Kg weight carrying capacity and Junior, with 250 Kg weight carrying capacity.
Both the Mild Steel Sr. and Mild Steel Jr. work tables share common features such
as the international styling, world-class finish, and ESD protection in the ESD
range 106
-107
Ohms as per IEC 61340-5-1.
The superiority of the AFM-PLUS range comes from innovative Volume ESD
technology. This revolutionary technology embeds carbon polymers in the base
material used to manufacture the ESD product. This makes the entire worktop or
storage shelves conductive with dissipative lamination on both the sides of the
workstation. The properties for discharging the charge are uniformly present
throughout the volume of the material as compared to its presence only on the
contact surface in traditional technology.
Other special features of Messung's electronic assembly tables are:
ESD Worktop
The worktop has a Volumetric ESD board with resistance between 106
to 107
Ohm, fitted on a high pressure laminated particle board with ABS 2 mm edge
binding. It is Formaldehyde Emission - Class E1 (normally inflammable) as per EN
438.
The ergonomically curved front corners (50 mm radius) of the table top minimize
risk of injury caused by bumping into sharp corners and facilitate free movement.
Ergonomic Rack
The work stations are fitted with an ergonomic rack for hanging trays to hold
special tools, cables, inspection equipment, etc.
LED Light
For soft radiation-free, glare-free light, the ESD work table has a 20-Watt sleek
LED tube light with 2000 lumens intensity.
Electrical Mounting Panel
There is a mounting panel equipped with high standard universal power sockets
(5/15 Amp) and with standard MCB of 2 pole/32 Amp.

3. Exclusive features of the Mild Steel Sr.
ESD Instrument Shelf
This is a Volumetric ESD board with resistance between 106
to 107
Ohm. A high
pressure laminated particle board with ABS 2 mm edge binding, it has 120 Kg
weight carrying capacity and easily adjustable height, adding to the functionality
of this ESD safe table.
The AFM-PLUS Mild Steel Senior test & measuring table can be fitted with a
special horizontal 19 inch standard based instrument rack mounted on the table.
This provides tremendous benefit for users. Instruments are traditionally kept on
the table top which leaves very little free space for the engineer to work. With the
19" standard system, all the instruments are integrated inside it and the
connections are provided on the front face of the table. This helps in de-cluttering
the worktable, and the complete workspace area is thus available for testing
work.
