Sheldon Product Update: New Axis Infinity to Replace Axis3 Student Lab Stations

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Importance of post: All 2010 Longo science lab projects utilizing Sheldon’s Axis Student Lab Stations will be converted to the new Axis Infinity Model – this change will not result in additional costs, increased lead times or any other issues that might have occurred if not for the swift project manangment by the combined efforts of Longo and Sheldon’s design & engineering team.

A Look Back On Why The Axis3 was so important…

Sheldon’s groundbreaking Axis 3® design combined separate lab and lecture areas into a single, dynamic learning center, making maximum use of space and streamlining the laboratory/classroom experience.

The patented Axis 3 was the first lab station designed to accommodate the latest in computer technology. The table was available in a variety of models that allow for the integration of standard desktop computers, flat-screen monitors or individual laptops.

The tabletop’s unique shape allowed four students to work in pairs facing the instructor or individually around the perimeter of the table, with access to the sink and services. The tabletop quickly and smoothly adjusts from a sitting to a standing height. Contoured edges eliminated the sharp corners found on traditional lab tables, allowing students and teachers easy movement around the table.
