Versatile range of HMI support arms under one roof

Schroff-nVent monitoring and management support arms are a modern looking design for mounting a flat screen monitor of up to 24-inch with a keyboard and mouse for use industrial or laboratory environments.

The fully integrated design means installation on any cabinet can be done by one person in a few minutes. The Schroff-nVent support arm allows screen tilting with optional swivel and rotation functions for individual needs and the keyboard can be folded up to save space.

Two models are available with or without a keyboard tray. The keyboard tray unit provides space-saving cable management within the wall duct.
