Desk Frame Structure, Crossbeam Configuration & Tabletop Overhang
Each desk frame model has its own structural design and dimensional requirements. Using your selected model and project drawings, we check the frame structure, crossbeam configuration and tabletop dimensions to ensure the configuration meets your project requirements.
| Configuration Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| Frame Structure | Desk frame series differ in their leg designs and connection methods. The specific configuration depends on the selected model. |
| Crossbeam Configuration | We confirm the number and length of crossbeams based on the selected frame model and tabletop dimensions. |
| Tabletop Overhang | The portion of the tabletop extending beyond the outer frame supports. The overhang dimensions are determined by the frame design and may vary between models. |
| Frame Arrangement | We confirm the frame configuration and installation method for each workstation based on the project layout and selected model. |
Project Configuration Review
Using the selected frame model, tabletop dimensions and CAD layout drawings, we check the crossbeam configuration, frame positions and how the workstations need to be connected and arranged.
Desk Frame Series for 120° Workstations
Below is a selection of Onmuse desk frame series that support 120° workstation configurations. Frame arrangements, tabletop dimensions and connection methods may vary by series and project.
Pauer and England: These series do not currently support 120° configurations.
Project Configuration & Product Details
Onmuse currently offers 62 product series, most of which can be used for 120° workstation configurations. Cable routing, crossbeam quantities and structural configurations vary between series.
We will provide the appropriate product configuration and technical details based on your project layout and selected desk frame model.
Configurations for Large Desks, Custom Tables & Conference Tables
Large office desks and conference tables can be planned around the selected desk frame series and existing product configurations. For projects involving dimensions outside the usual range, special structural requirements or custom features, we will assess the specific requirements in more detail.
Project Layout → Frame Configuration → Confirmation of Product Details
1. Project Layout & Tabletop Requirements
We review your CAD layout drawings and BOQ to understand the tabletop dimensions and shape, how the tabletop is divided into sections, the seating arrangement, and power and cable requirements.
For layouts involving multiple tables, we also confirm how the tables are arranged and connected.
2. Desk Frame & Accessory Configuration
For the selected desk frame series, we provide the corresponding legs, crossbeams, connection components and cable management options.
Each series has its own structural design and dimensional requirements. The configuration is determined by the selected product model and your project requirements.
3. Non-Standard & Custom Requirements
For projects involving tabletop dimensions outside the usual range, special connection designs or custom features, we assess technical feasibility against your specific requirements and confirm the details with you.
For standard products and configurations, we provide a suitable configuration based on existing product specifications.
Key Considerations in Desk Frame Design
Desk frame stability, connection details, installation methods and accessory configurations are generally established during product design. Each desk frame series has its own structure, materials and features to accommodate different desk and workstation configurations.
| Design Consideration | Key Details |
|---|---|
| Tabletop Dimensions & Compatibility | Frame designs take common tabletop dimensions and mounting methods into account. For tabletops smaller than 1,200 × 600 mm, suitability needs to be checked for the specific frame model. |
| Structural Stability | Leg design, crossbeam connections and overall stability are considered during product design. If your project has special stability requirements, we can discuss these in more detail. |
| Assembly & Installation | The design takes component connections, assembly steps and ease of on-site installation into account. |
| Materials & Structure | Desk frame series use steel, aluminium alloy or die-cast components, with structural designs and appearance varying between series. |
| Cable Management & Accessories | Cable trays, Wire Flipper units, desk screens and related mounting accessories are configured to suit the frame structure. |
Standard Configurations & Custom Requirements
For standard projects, we can provide the appropriate product configuration and technical documentation based on your chosen desk frame design and layout drawings.
For non-standard dimensions, special structural requirements or custom features, we will assess feasibility against your specific requirements.
