Lean pipe workbench/Assembly line

Lean pipe workbench/Assembly line

Lean tube workbenches, also known as flexible tube workbenches or composite tube workbenches, are modular workstation fixtures designed according to the principles of Lean Production. Featuring a core framework of lean pipes (composite tubing with an outer PVC resin layer, metal alloy core, and rust-proof inner coating), these workbenches utilise standardised components such as connectors, panels, castors, and lighting. Their flexible assembly and rapid reconfiguration address production floor requirements for workstation adaptability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Widely deployed across electronics, automotive, machinery, logistics, and other manufacturing and warehousing sectors, they deliver tailored solutions for diverse operational needs.

Structural Composition

Overall Framework:

Composed of standard flexible wire rods with an external diameter of 28mm and wire rod connectors. Flexible wire rods are available in multiple colours including beige, white, and black. Wire rod metal connectors include silver-white chrome-plated joints and black electrophoretic joints.

Feet:

Adjustable foot cups may be employed, such as height-adjustable cups, anti-vibration cups, conductive cups, or anti-static cups. Alternatively, castors may be used, including flat-plate castors or expandable castors.

Worktop surfaces:

Options include composite panels, fire-retardant boards, ESD anti-static panels, multi-layer plywood, stainless steel sheets, and hollow-core panels.

Additional accessories:

These encompass lighting systems (e.g., fluorescent tubes, independent switches, power strips, wiring); logistics systems (e.g., conveyor belts, sliding rails, turntables, robotic arms); alongside drawers, electric screwdriver slots, process flow guides, and warning lights.

Features

Flexible assembly:

Can be used independently or combined, easily adjustable, allowing free design and assembly according to operational requirements without constraints from component shapes, workstation space, or site size.

Environmentally Friendly Materials:

Lean tubes and accessories are reusable, reducing production costs and supporting environmental sustainability.

Simple Modifications:

Structural functions can be expanded at any time as required, maximising on-site staff creativity and continuously improving lean production management.

Superior Surface Protection:

Lean tubes feature a plastic-coated surface layer, preventing damage to component surfaces.

Ergonomic Design:

Customisable improvements ensure standardised, comfortable operation for on-site personnel, enhancing production efficiency and elevating overall staff competence.
