Reliability, ergonomics and user experience paly critical role in medical industry
In an industry where equipment reliability can be a matter of life or death, Southco’s selection of display monitor arms, available from Zygology, are said to deliver enhanced operational efficiency and increased user experience throughout the medical industry.
An example of improving medical equipment ergonomics with intuitive positioning technology is Southco’s display monitor arms and mounts in the development of workstations with efficient platform design, including flexible arm technology to support a viewing monitor.
Growing demand for flexible display mounting
Advances in medical technology have dramatically increased the demand for flexible display mounting in medical equipment applications. Equipment such as endoscopy machines, for example, are often mounted to a mobile workstation to increase usability and ensure they are easier to move from room to room with an ergonomic and efficient platform design, including a flexible arm to support the viewing monitor.
Southco’s positioning technology features integrated constant torque, providing the exact operating effort required to position displays. Engineers can define the desired user effort and know that it will be maintained over the life of the product, says Zygology.
