NEW! Crevice-Free CleanMount Designed Specifically for Clean Environments

STRONGARM announces the CleanMount–the first crevice-free display and keyboard mounting system that also provides an industrial-strength, ergonomic, PC-based solution for use in semiconductor, healthcare, and other environments where cleanability is a priority.

All cabling is totally concealed inside the unit itself, and the smooth exterior surface is free of crevices and sharp corners to make cleaning a breeze. The curved surfaces throughout the unit discourage the accumulation of air-borne particulates, and the entire unit can be easily wiped down with minimal effort. Unlike office-grade products, which are made primarily from plastic, the CleanMount is built from durable cast aluminum alloy to withstand the rigors of more demanding environments. The CleanMount is also designed to be ergonomically friendly, with 16” of vertical counterbalanced adjustment allowing for one-hand positioning with minimal effort. The display and keyboard remain level throughout vertical travel and lock in place for safety. The display can be tilted and rotated 340 degrees, while the CleanMount itself features 180 degrees of swiveling articulation on the mounting end, making the display easy to position precisely where needed.

STRONGARM Announces the VertiMax, the Newest, Largest and Most Powerful Addition to the Industry-leading Vertica Family of Adjustable Pendant Arms

Specifically designed for the increased load demands of larger operator interface and control systems, the VertiMax provides counterbalanced adjustability for systems weighing up to 250 pounds. Featuring a 2.5” diameter internal sealed cable passageway, the VertiMax design protects larger cable bundles from dirt, dust and repeated washdowns, keeping them secure and twist-free. STRONGARM’s VertiMax Pendant Arm allows the operator to adjust the interface to a comfortable height. The operator simply squeezes the grab handle and the interface becomes weightless and easily repositioned. The gas spring counterbalancing system automatically locks in place, providing safety and stability.

Additional VertiMax Features:
• Built around industry-standard STRONGARM mountings
• Heavy duty construction provides class-leading strength featuring 250 pounds of counterbalanced lift
• 13” of vertical travel
• Smooth, counterbalanced adjustability for ease of use
• Additional articulation provided at both ends of the arm, with rotational movement up to 330Ί at either end
• Typically attached to a 6” OD post with integrated junction box for in-field wiring
• Also available in Wall Mount and Machine Top Mount configurations for mounting to horizontal or vertical surfaces
• Available in NEMA 4X Stainless Steel for washdown and wipedown environments, and NEMA 4/12 Painted Aluminum/Steel for general industrial use

TechQ&A

Q. What is a Transflective Display?

A. For outdoor applications where bright sun and glare create viewing problems, transflective displays provide an ideal solution. These displays make use of a transflector, which is a polymer sheet that reflects and transmits at the same time. By incorporating elements of both transmissive and reflective displays, these screens use backlighting to illuminate the display indoors, while using a reflective surface to produce readable images outdoors. The result is a display that can be read over a wide range of illuminance levels.

The Transflective option is available on STRONGARM's 19" and 17" industrial displays.
