Ever wondered what your workstation will actually look like before you place an order? With the new Robtools configurator, you no longer have to guess or scroll through dozens of product cards – just a few clicks and you'll see a finished 3D design, tailored exactly to your needs.

Properly equipping a professional SMD assembly and rework station requires a full integration of electrostatic protection and ergonomic principles

SMD assembly (Surface Mount Device) is an advanced electronics manufacturing method that involves soldering miniature components directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB).

Safe SMD component storage and the smooth logistics of soldered PCB boards are crucial, yet frequently overlooked links in the electronics manufacturing supply chain.

Safe internal logistics and transport of SMD components within an EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area) require an unbroken grounding chain at every stage of the production process.

The international standard IEC 61340-5-1 (along with its European equivalent EN 61340-5-1) forms the technical and legal foundation for electrostatic discharge protection in the electronics industry.

The Innoelectro 2026 trade fair proved to be a pivotal event for the electronics manufacturing sector, focusing on ESD safety and production efficiency. Robtools presented a comprehensive range of industrial furniture, including the heavy-duty Black Line, specialized SMT trolleys, and an interactive ESD workstation configurator.

Optimal workbench height should be adjusted to the operator's height and the type of work performed, typically ranging from 75 cm to 110 cm. Tabletop dimensions should ensure all tools are within arm's reach

A professional soldering station should consist of a certified ESD desk with a grounding system, an ergonomic antistatic seat, and an efficient fume extraction system (smoke absorber). Find out more

An ESD workstation is a specialized workspace designed to safely handle electrostatic-sensitive devices (ESDS) by providing a controlled path to ground.

A complete anti-static workstation is an integrated protection system where every component is connected to a common grounding point in accordance with the EN 61340-5-1 standard.

Choosing the right ESD assembly table depends on the specific production processes and ergonomics requirements of the EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area).

Safe storage of electronic equipment (ESDS) requires a controlled environment that eliminates the risk of uncontrolled electrostatic discharges

Productronica is the world's leading trade fair for electronics production innovations. In 2025, the Robtools team joined the prestigious group of exhibitors.

Regular maintenance and measurements in the EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area) are crucial for maintaining the continuity of protection and are an absolute requirement of the PN-EN 61340-5-1 standard
