NEW: RK Monitor mounting with ball joint
Monitor mounting with ball joint - 60° free swivelling
VESA or universal mount for connecting monitors, displays or control panels
Monitors, touch screens, displays and control panels
are used every day, and not just in the office. Industrial machines and
systems are programmed or performance data displayed on modern touch
screens or control panels. In utility vehicles, camera monitoring
systems facilitate resetting and navigation devices make positioning
possible. On conveyors, monitors make it possible to monitor and
visualise all sorts of processes. Today, control panels or flat screens
are often an essential component of modern assembly workstations, too.
Standard monitor holders and their disadvantages Standard systems are generally designed for office applications. Industrial environments push these monitor mountings to their limits. For example, they normally can carry loads of only six to twelve kilograms and are not robust enough for use on machines, systems or assembly workstations. If exposed to vibration, shocks or frequent adjustment, the ball joints often used do not provide sufficient hold or have a limited lifetime. Another common problem is undesired adjustment.

Requirements for monitor mountings for industrial applications
RK monitor mountings stand up to the tough demands of day-to-day industrial use
The demands on a monitor mounting in industrial use are high:
They should have a higher load-bearing capacity and be vibration-proof.
In addition, they should meet the requirements for an ergonomic workstation.
This means that it should be possible to adjust all degrees of freedom
independently and separately, and without tools. Then it must reliably
hold the device in the set position even if exposed to shocks. Another
important requirement for a versatile monitor mounting is that it is
flexible in how it fixes to a machine/system and the fitting dimensions
of the devices. Often users make do with complicated self-made or office
solutions, or oversized support arm systems. These solutions prove inadequate in the industrial environment in the long term or may be much too expensive.
Monitor mountings should offer flexible adjustment
Monitor attachment via VESA or universal mount
The RK monitor mounting is flexible: Choice of tube-mounting or wall-mounting, VESA or universal mount
One great advantage of the brackets is the flexibility they offer
for device fitting dimensions and for installation options. The user can
mount the screens/control panels via a VESA Standard 75/100
connecting plate – in other words, with a 75 x 75 mm or 100 x 100 mm
mounting hole pattern – or a round aluminium universal mounting surface.
Thus, in principle, just about any panel can easily be connected up
without special components.
The monitor mounting can be mounted in the slot of any aluminium profile system using slot stones, or on any other tube, profile or any wall. The screws and slots stones required for installation on an RK profile system are
included in the scope of delivery.
The RK monitor mounting is made of an optimised mix of materials: The
wall mount and connecting plates are made of aluminium, the tube connectors
of high-strength plastic. Since the construction consists of optimised
RK standard products, the monitor mounting, including all installation
options, is economical and available in no time.
