Workstations
Lean thinking is an instrumental mindset for saving time and money. The best method of achieving a lean process is by creating custom systems that fit your operations. The natural modularity of T-slot profiles and products provide the framework you require for custom, lean workstations. Download the field guide below for a deep dive into designing with 80/20 modular ergonomic workstations.
80/20 Configured Modular Workstations Improve Efficiencies
Well-executed lean initiatives can improve lead times and cut quality costs by half, increase productivity by as much as 30%, and reduce inventories up to 50%. Custom workstations are a way to assist with your lean strategy; they put the required materials and resources at the operator's fingertips. Lean workstations are strategically designed to create a space optimized for minimal wasted motion and effort.

How 80/20 Boosts Ergonomic and Lean Benefits of Workstations
80/20 products make it easy to build custom workstations to fit your specific needs; the T-slot aluminum system provides durability and strength, flexibility to make adjustments, and modularity for reconfiguration or expansion.
Pressurized Frames
Seamlessly integrate these devices into your workflows, run tubes and wires inside the T-slot channel, and even add pressurization to your frame or workstation to maintain and regulate desired pressure levels.
Lift Systems
Achieve optimal ergonomics at any height with lift systems. Easily attachable to T-slot profiles, these systems allow you to adjust your workstation's height precisely, either manually with a crank or via electric power.
Gravity Rollers
Streamline material movement by integrating gravity rollers into your flow racks and workstation processes. Compatible with both T-slot profiles and pipe and joint framing.

Make It Mobile
The capacity to add mobility to your workstation supports your complete material handling process flow. Take your station with you – move it through your facility and lock it into place, or wheel it to and from conveyor lines, when and where it’s needed. With 80/20 you can choose from casters that optimize your operations. Learn more on how 80/20 can provide lean manufacturing to your process.
Get It Grounded
Do you need electrical at your workstation? Add electrical components like powerstrips, lighting and more. Aluminum acts as a conductor, meaning workstations built with 80/20 profiles can be grounded to channel an electrical current. This is important for electronics assembly, repairs, production, and testing where static electricity will have a negative impact. Use aluminum profiles and ESD panel to ground the charge and dissipate static.
