The New England Orthodontic Laboratory, which specialises in the manufacture of orthodontics and pediatric orthodontic appliances, has installed the Lista Arlink modular bench system.
The Arlink system has both stationary and mobile configurations, for the greatest flexibility.
The range of system components and accessories allows a lab to design the exact bench they need.
The Lista Arlink modular bench system set up fast and smoothly, requiring virtually no hardware or tools.
Both sides of the bench's supporting columns can be used in combination with corner work surfaces to form L, T, U and X arrangements.
Workstations can be arranged back to back for even greater flexibility.
Ergonomic design features make the benches extremely comfortable, eliminating wasted motion, and minimising fatigue and strain.
The Lista Arlink modular bench system comes in a choice of durable work surfaces, allowing the lab to select the best surface for their tasks.
The affordability of the Lista bench made it feasible to give each technician their own 5ft universal bench, equipped with drawers that fit the lab's exact height specifications and incorporating ample lighting with a full-length horizontal 3ft bench light with dual lamps.
The system is configured so that one switch can turn off the entire laboratory.
The benches have versatile configurations, which ensure that each bench has its own sense of space, but without such separation that people are working totally alone.
On one wall there may be three benches in a line, while another may use metal privacy panels to group four units together while making sure that facing benches are visually separated from each other.
Lista offers several types of privacy panels in materials such as dry erase and tackboard.
The employees chose metal panels for a clean look and the ability to use magnets to easily post papers and such personal items as photographs.
NEO-Lab also benefited from Lista's complete dental lab product line when it needed casework for the new facility.
It was able to purchase a variety of drawer and shelf-based casework for use in storage of acrylic, metal, and other supplies and fittings.
NEO-Lab also purchased integrated sink units from Lista.
