OVERVIEW
The AMTE-400 is a versatile assembly table
intended for the ergonomic, eective, and
time-saving assembly of electrical panels
and enclosures.
This table is designed as a tool to increase
productivity, reduce assembly times, and
prevent stress on the operator(s) during the
assembly of control panels/enclosures, wire
harnesses, product assemblies, or any other
applicable repetitive motion or strenuous
assembly/manufacturing processes.

OVERVIEW (Continued)
DISCLAIMER
ALFRA TOOLS, LLC NOR ANY OF IT’S SUBSIDIARIES OR PARTNERS WILL BE HELD LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR INJURY
DUE TO TIPPING OF THE TABLE.
Each AMTE-400 is equipped with two
electronically controlled linear actuators that
allow the user to set the work surface in a
range of positions, including height and tilt
angle adjustments.
The AMTE-400 has four casters, two locking
and two non-locking for quick and safe
positioning. Typical operations performed
on the AMTE-400 table include panel making,
drilling, thread cutting/tapping, hole
punching, channel/rail tting, component
mounting, and wiring installation.
ADJUSTABLE ANGLE OF TILT:
0-70° ±1.4°
THE AMTE-400 SHOWN WITH THE TOP IN
THE RAISED TILTED POSITION
The AMTE-400 table’s linear
actuators and control system are
rechargeable and battery operated.
This table has a maximum surface
area of 80.5”(2050mm) in width and
83.5”(2130mm) in height when using
separately sold table extensions. The
maximum load weight the table can
support is 900 lbs or 408 kg. Please
keep in mind that the table can support
panels and enclosures larger than the
table’s surface - operation of such must
be done with tipping hazards in mind.

NOTICE
Your AMTE-400 table has been disabled
for shipping purposes. In order to use your
assembly table, please locate the ORANGE cable
tie on the lower portion of your unit, found

need to be cut, and the extension cable here will
need to be connected in order to power your
assembly table.
The AMTE-400 is put into the horizontal position
and the panel is securely mounted to the work
surface.
Using the included keypad, the operator can
control the linear actuators to adjust the AMTE-
400 to the optimum height and tilt angle for each
step of the panel building process.
ALWAYS PERFORM THE FOLLOWING
CHECKS BEFORE OPERATING THE TABLE:
■AMTE-400 parts should not be bent or
twisted.
■Test the caster brakes and check the
wheels for abnormal wear.
■All moving parts should be wiped down
with a lint-free cloth weekly to reduce dirt
and debris buildup.
■Safety-pin must be secured with all
extensions tightened in place.
■If there are defects, contact us for
troubleshooting assistance.
