Abstract
A workstation is disclosed including a tabletop, a frame, a support coupled to the tabletop and the frame for supporting the tabletop vertically above the frame, and a powered rotator coupled to the frame. The powered rotator may be configured to move the support and the tabletop horizontally along an arcuate path with respect to a user position. The user position and a center of curvature of the arcuate path may each be disposed away from a forward edge of the tabletop. A method of moving a tabletop of a workstation is also disclosed.
Claims21
A workstation comprising:
- a tabletop,
- a frame;
- a support coupled to the tabletop and the frame for supporting the tabletop vertically above the frame, and
- a powered rotator coupled to the frame, the powered rotator configured to move the support and the tabletop horizontally along an arcuate path with respect to a user position,
- wherein the user position and a center of curvature of the arcuate path are each disposed away from a forward edge of the tabletop.
A method of moving a tabletop of a workstation in one or more dimensions relative to a user position, the method being performed by a controller that is configured to send control signals to one or more actuators to move the tabletop, the method comprising:
- determining a range and speed of motion according to a user profile for a user of the workstation;
- and
- moving the tabletop automatically horizontally at the speed of motion along an arcuate path extending across the range of motion with respect to the user position.
