Articulated Arm
A mounting solution consisting of segments held together by joints. An articulated arm has greater adjustment flexibility
Designed for Disassembly (DFD)
Design for Disassembly (DFD) means making products that can be taken apart easily for recycling at the end of their life:
- Components which are of adequate quality can be refurbished or reused
- Metallic parts can be separated easily into categories which increases their recycling value
- Disassembled plastic parts can be easily removed and recycled or disposed of
Ergonomics
The applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort. Also called biotechnology, human engineering, human factors engineering
Ergonomically designed
Designed with intentions to maximise productivity by minimising operator fatigue and discomfort
FlexiStar™ mechanism
An adjustable display mounting head featuring extendable tabs for easy adjustment from 3" x 3" (75mm x 75mm) to 4" x 4" (100mm x 100mm) VESA mounting holes. Designed by Atdec and incorporated in the VISIDEC Focus product range
Lateral arm adjustment
Is the horizontal movement of the arm from the main pivot point; usually at the point of attachment to the wall
Tilt adjustment
Varying degrees of vertical movement of the display from a central fulcrum point usually from directly behind the screen
Pan adjustment
Varying degrees of left & right movement of the display from a central fulcrum point usually from directly behind the screen
Pivot adjustment
Varying degrees of movement of the display in any direction from the pivot axis point, normally 180 to 360°
Swing Arm
Main section of a monitor arm that "swings" in an upward or downward movement
VESA compliancy
The Video & Electronics Standards Association of USA (VESA) has issued suggested standards for the attachment of mounting systems to electronic visual displays. This is how the mount attaches to the display itself. VESA compliant mounting solution means that a mount meets the VESA standard hole patterns
For all non VESA compliant displays customers should identify the adjustability of the mounting holes configuration before ordering.
