    With strength for higher load capacities than other ball-grip positioning arms, these arms have a heavy duty construction. Ball-and-socket connections allow 360° positioning. The base, connectors, and links are hollow for routing wires, cables, and small hoses. Select a base, connectors, link, and plate or mount to build a complete arm. Capacities are based on an assembled arm that is 1 foot long.

    Bend-and-Stay Positioning Arms

    Stronger and with greater load capacities than gooseneck-style positioning arms, these arms keep their shape even when moving or when exposed to vibration. They’re often used in robotics and conveyor applications when frequent repositioning isn’t required.
    All accessories include the necessary hardware for attaching them to arms.

    LCD Display

    Quickly take people’s temperatures as they enter your facility to screen out anyone with a high reading. These screeners have a thermal camera that uses infrared light to measure forehead temperature in two seconds at a distance of one to two feet. They’re accurate within 0.9° F and 0.5° C, and work even if people are wearing masks, hats, and glasses. If their temperature is normal, there’s an audible notification. Connect them to your network using Wi-Fi or their Ethernet port in order to create a library of photos, retain data for reporting, and customize the screeners to display directions and your company name and logo. For basic temperature scanning only, there’s no need to connect them to your network—simply plug their power cord into a wall outlet. If you want to keep people from entering until they pass the temperature check, wire these screeners to doors and gates. CE marked, they meet European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.
    Mount these screeners to a wall, or add a floor stand.
    Warning: These screeners are not intended for medical use.
