Industrial Quality Laboratory Seating

Working in a lab requires long periods of sitting or standing. Individuals who remain seated for the majority of the day should use furniture intended for a laboratory setting and designed with the features that offer ergonomic comfort. Laboratory seating offered by RDM Industrial Products is designed to be used with tables manufactured for this environment. In this category are backless stools and other lab chair styles, including cleanroom, ergonomic and customized versions.

A lab bench like a stool or saddle seat does not have a back. Some stools are designed for use in healthcare environments or small spaces. An upholstered seat and pneumatic adjustment are features that are intended to provide comfort. Models with casters are available for use on carpeted or hard surface floors. Metal parts make RDM’s laboratory seating very durable. It is compatible with all laboratory tables or a standard workstations.

When selecting a lab chair with a back, consumers can choose from products designed for cleanroom environments and those that feature ESD static control. An economy priced chair features upholstered surfaces, an ergonomic backrest, armrests, and multi-way seat control. Pneumatic adjustable height and casters expand the environments in which this lab chair can be used.

Premium seating has ergonomic features and is designed for either task or office use. Task chairs feature comfortable form-sensing mesh and are eco-friendly due to the use of fewer parts than traditional designs. Standard features include self-adjusting recline, pivoting backrest, and synchronized armrests. Mesh office chairs feature an optional gel seat cushion, foot ring, and different caster options.

When purchasing RDM laboratory seating, consumers can choose from different colors of upholstery. Though function and comfort are usually preferred over style, having color options may be desirable. Some manufacturers offer custom solutions designed to accommodate unique dimensions, uses, or users with special needs. This seating can be paired with customized laboratory tables to deliver a one-of-a-kind solution for many different industries.

RDM L-Shaped Workstations Are Spacious Industrial Workbenches

When we think of a work table, we often picture a flat surface supported by four legs, similar to an architectural drafting table. The modern style of industrial workbenches offered by RDM Industrial Products is very different from this, with furniture options like L-shaped workbenches being used in laboratory, manufacturing, and regular office environments. These work benches include features designed to suit nearly every industry’s needs.

With an L-shaped work bench, users have the benefit of two work surfaces, placed in a 90-degree angle formation. Tables may include utility or file drawers, a half or full depth lower shelf, and a sliding keyboard and mouse tray. An optional power strip can be selected if the consumer prefers to plug equipment in at the table level, instead of crawling around on the floor.

When this shape of industrial workbenches is selected, different configurations are possible. Each work surface may be the same length and width or the customer may opt to have one surface shorter in length than the other. Often, the space available in the facility or office determines the dimensions and configuration of the L-shaped work table, so the option to customize is welcomed at RDM.

Workbenches are available in different heights, with 30 inches being the standard height for a sitting desk and 36 inches standard for a desk used for standing tasks. The ADA accessible height of 34 inches is also available. If none of these is suitable, a custom height can also be provided to meet consumer needs. Frames and legs are made from fully-welded tubular steel and leveler feet are included on the legs.

Since these industrial workbenches may serve different purposes in different environments, a variety of tabletop options are made available by RDM. Plastic laminate, solid wood, stainless steel, and solid surface are the most common. Electropolished stainless steel is ideal for a cleanroom and chemical resistant and static control tops are also available.

RDM Cleanroom Workstation Tables Are a Top Quality Brand of Laboratory Tables

In a scientific or manufacturing cleanroom, the goal is to maintain a low level of environmental pollutants. The area must be kept free of ionic contaminants, particulates, static, and moisture. Airborne particulates are controlled via continuous air circulation and air filters. This enables the use of sensitive lab equipment or the fabrication of intricate electronic devices. Some laboratory tables and other lab furniture are designed specifically for clean rooms.

A cleanroom can be a very large area, sometimes encompassing entire manufacturing facilities. Semiconductor, biotechnology, and life sciences sectors use these environments extensively. Workers pass through airlocks when entering or leaving the room and they wear protective clothing. Lab equipment and lab furniture inside a cleanroom is designed to generate a minimum amount of air contamination. Lab supplies like specialized buckets and mops are sold for cleaning the area.

Lab furniture used in cleanrooms is designed to generate a minimum amount of particles. Laboratory tables and other cleanroom furniture must be easy to clean. A cleanroom is not a sterile environment, but particle levels are regularly measured using particle counters. Positive pressure is maintained in some cleanrooms so if an air leak occurs, air will emit from the chamber rather than unfiltered air permeating the room.

Electropolished stainless steel tables are usually adequate for CLASS 10 cleanroom environments. Other RDM table models are suitable for cleanrooms up to CLASS 100. These feature work services that are laminated and sealed to eliminate contamination. Fully-welded steel frame connections on the tubular steel frame provide no open areas to collect dust. Table legs may include leveler feet or casters.

These laboratory tables come in several standard sizes and feature a polyurethane paint finish. Powder coated finish or custom sizes may also be available. When selecting lab furniture for a cleanroom environment, select RDM as your manufacturer because they offer high-quality products that are designed to last a lifetime. To keep costs down, customers can save money by selecting finished or sealed steel frame tables rather than stainless steel tables.

Vibration Control Tables Are Lab Tables Suitable For Vibration-Sensitive Equipment!

Vibration control lab tables are lab furniture designed for use with vibration-sensitive lab equipment like microscopes. This type of equipment features mounts made from material such as shock and vibration absorbing elastomer. The table itself includes vibration dampening feet designed to prevent any interference with operation of the equipment being used.

Lab tables designed for use with laboratory equipment or instruments often feature wood or metal frames. They may have a shelf designed to store lab supplies that do not require special containment. Some models feature fixed feet, while others have vibration dampening levelers or casters that can be locked in place when necessary. Tops are usually made from solid surfaces like epoxy resin or plastic laminated surfaces that are resistant to chemicals.

When the most sensitive anti-vibration lab furniture is required, a product like an active vibration isolation table can be found. Included in this table is innovative vibration reduction technology. The table reduces both horizontal and vertical vibration and contributes to proper use of the most sensitive equipment or applications in environments characterized by severe vibration.

Equipment commonly used with such tables includes scanning probe and atomic force microscopes. Other industries use them to support interferometers, semiconductor inspection equipment, and electro-physiology recording equipment. Sizes vary and top surfaces include solid wood, static control, stainless steel or frame-only models. Some of these isolation tables are compatible with clean room environments, making them ideal for a hospital or laboratory.

When looking for lab tables designed to dampen vibration, dealing with RDM Industrial Products often enables the customer to specify dimensions and select from several top surfaces, including static control. RDM offers an online quote request or order form, allowing customers who know what they need to place their lab furniture order without visiting a store. Live help is also available to provide answers to customer questions.

Aluminum Extrusion Tables & Carts

The process of shaping aluminum by forcing it through a shaped opening within a die is called aluminum extrusion. What emerges from the process is an elongated piece of aluminum with a profile that matches the die opening. Because it is considered easier and faster to manipulate, aluminum is now replacing the use of steel in extrusion used to create industrial furniture such as the aluminum adjustable height tables manufactured by RDM Industrial Products.

Adjustable height tables raise and lower items during material handling. One common use for these tables is to reduce the possibility of musculoskeletal disorders. Adjustable height tables allow operators to position their work at the proper height that is suited specifically to them, creating comfortable, ergonomically correct working conditions. Also, loads weighing multiple tons can be easily raised and lowered using RDM’s adjustable height tables, which can safeguard against potential personel lifting injuries.

Adjustable height aluminum tables come in various configurations and they can be manufactured to suit many specialized industrial processes. The most common adjustable table design includes hydraulic cylinders with manual hand crank or electric motor to accomplish lifting tasks. When loads are not heavy, 1500 lbs or less, the tables may be driven by a hand crank. Industries that commonly use these tables include laboratories, manufacturing, assembly, woodworking, heavy machinery, paper printing, and metalworking.

Carts made from aluminum include casters and shelves that are sometimes adjustable. These are used in food service, warehouses, distribution centers, and other industrial and commercial locations. Designed for high load capacity and durability, they assist operators with material handling and transport from one location to another.

An aluminum extrusion adjustable height tables and carts are typically more expensive than steel frame furniture and should be considered as an investment to satisfy specific applications that require non-ferrous metal, such as electromagnetic equipment environments, cleanroom, or special laboratory use. On average, these units are 3-4 time more expensive than traditional steel frame furniture. The versatility of the aluminum extrusion frame’s adjustability can also make the investment worthwhile, making it easy for units to be modified in size or features easily with simple hand tools. If aluminum extrusion framed furniture is on your list, please consider RDM Industrial Products as your deign / manufacturing solution.
