Assembly Workstation with Ergonomic Lift



Creform Corporation has designed and produced a workstation with an ergonomic lift system for an aerospace engine manufacturer.

The workstation has overall dimensions of 72" W x 78" H x 34" D and is built with 42 mm and 28 mm pipe and joints. Secured inside each of the workstation's four vertical legs is a hydraulic cylinder so its height can be varied to optimize the ergonomics for associates of different stature during its multishift operation.

As the lift is actuated, only the work surface and above move up and down, leaving the base structure in place. It has a 1,000 lb. capacity and 12" stroke. An electric push button raises and lowers the workstation. The system requires a 110 V receptacle to be close to provide power.

The workstation features a 1/2" plastic work surface across the front. This creates a place for product assembly, tools, gauges, supplies and work instructions. Above the work surface on the right side, Creform's flat pipe is used to hold clip-on plastic bins. The shelf above that stores raw materials and supplies. The angled presentation provides better visibility to the operator.

A 16" x 36" steel pegboard on the left side utilizes hooks and can be used to hang tools and supplies. A 4' overhead LED light is mounted to the upper frame to provide light. Drawers below the work surface provide easily accessible storage space.

Workstations can be custom configurable with the Creform system of pipe and joints and can be built as a stand-up or a sit-down station. They are available as an assembled structure or kit with pre-cut pipes for quick on-site assembly and are suitable for warehouse and manufacturing operations. Workstations can be mobile or stationary and are available with options such as drawers and shelves for storage, various pipe colors, casters instead of feet tools and cup holders.

As with all Creform workstations, optional accessories include overhead light, computer screen, shelves, additional flow lanes, drawers, information sheet holders, label holders, tool storage and hooks to hang tools and supplies. All Creform workstations can be configured for ESD components when sensitive electronics need to be protected.
