Sentral Assemblies & Components Inc.<\/a>, located in Lincolnshire, Illinois, is in the business of assembling custom solutions for users with very specific, unique and often complex needs. So when it came time for Sentral to assemble a solution for its own important needs\u2014the creation of a productive workspace for their final assembly areas\u2014the company did not take the problem lightly.<\/p>\n

A leading manufacturer of interconnect assemblies and related products (including wiring harnesses, power cords, wire leads and sets, electromechanical assemblies, box builds, and data, signal and interconnect cables), Sentral<\/a> does whatever it takes to produce custom products on-time. What they refer to as \u201cpassionately serving their customers\u201d includes a willingness to invest in new equipment to meet customer application needs and schedules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to William Schlitz, Sentral<\/a>\u2019s former operations manager, \u201cSentral<\/a> values the relationships it has with its suppliers. The relationship simply can\u2019t be about who\u2019s giving you the lowest price. The company expects integrity, dependability and quality, at a fair price.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The same thinking holds true for Sentral\u2019s equipment vendors. Schlitz, whose multiple management functions included engineering, quality, production, and purchasing, was committed to investing in the best people as well as the most advanced technology. He knew that Sentral needed to invest in workbenches for final assembly that were as professional-looking as they were efficient.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was essential for Sentral<\/a> to project a consistently professional, high-quality image, for our customers as well as our employees,\u201d said Schlitz. \u201cSentral is a modern, high-tech facility, and all of our equipment needs to reflect that.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To maximize efficiency and employee comfort, as well as aesthetics, Schlitz turned to Pro-Line<\/a> of Haverhill, Massachusetts. Recognized throughout the industry as a leader in ergonomic workbench design, Pro-Line\u2019s achievements include the production of the first hand-crank, height-adjustable tables in 1987.<\/p>\n

Prior to the Pro-Line<\/a> purchase, Sentral<\/a> had been relying on a relatively inefficient system of basic tables for final assembly\u2014workbenches that really brought very little \u201cto the table.\u201d Sentral<\/a>\u2019s dramatic upgrade included the purchase of 12 fully loaded Dimension Next expandable, modular, double-sided workbenches from Pro-Line to create 24 workbenches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dimension Next workbenches allowed Sentral<\/a> to achieve its primary goal of providing a clean, well-lit, organized and efficient workspace for each of the operators,\u201d Schlitz explained. \u201cIn the final assembly area, technicians were often performing some very complex electronic hand-assembly work. These are not high-volume assembly lines. When operators perform tasks like hand-crimping or hand-soldering, a clean and organized workspace is essential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

Pro-Line\u2019s workbenches are renowned for their ergonomic safety, and the Dimension Next series is no exception.<\/p><\/div>\n

Pro-Line<\/a>\u2019s Dimension Next expandable modular workbenches, available in both single-sided and double-sided versions, feature a heavy-gauge steel frame for superior strength and support. Their durability and high-tech aesthetic appeal are enhanced by the workbenches\u2019 textured beige powder coat finish with blue accent strips.<\/p>\n

Schlitz was particularly pleased with the diverse functionality of the Dimension Next benches. \u201cThe workbenches we bought are fully loaded with accessories that make all the needed hand tools, crimping tools, gloves and other equipment readily accessible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The optional modular accessories of this series let users configure each bench to meet their needs.\u00a0 <\/span>With the workbenches\u2019 solid, slotted aluminum uprights, work surface or optional accessories can be mounted anywhere along the column without the use of tools. The accessories being utilized at Sentral<\/a>\u2019s final assembly area include height-adjustable, pivoting footrests, eight-outlet power strips, black parts bin holders, overhead light fixtures and frames, and adjustable metal shelves. In addition, each workbench features a lockable, modular drawer, which provides a safe and secure home for an array of operator tools.<\/p>\n

Pro-Line<\/a>\u2019s workbenches are renowned for their ergonomic safety, and the Dimension Next series is no exception. All of the work surfaces and accessories on these double-sided workbenches\u2019 adjust independently of each other. Schlitz saw this as an important benefit, despite the lack of consistent repetitive motion in the final assembly area. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere isn\u2019t the high risk of injury in this department you\u2019d find in a more high-volume production area,\u201d Schlitz explained. \u201cBut operator comfort and stress reduction are still of the utmost importance.\u00a0 <\/span>We have multiple operators using each workbench on different shifts, and it was great to be able to adjust the modular elements of each workbench to suit individual needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus, the operators took a great deal of pride in knowing they are working at such professional-looking and attractive workbenches. Sentral<\/a>\u2019s top-of-the-line Pro-Line<\/a> equipment was definitely good for employee morale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sentral<\/a>\u2019s tagline on the homepage of the company\u2019s Web site is: \u201cWe supply peace of mind, one assembly at a time.\u201d Clearly the company is also receiving peace of mind from its workbench investment. By making the interconnection with Pro-Line<\/a>, Sentral has assembled a smooth-running, attractive and productivity-enhancing final assembly area that\u2019s beneficial to customers and employees alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
