Achieving a Maximum Payload of 80kg! High-Rigidity, High-Durability "Monitor Arm MAX" to be Released on May 28

SUS Corporation (Head Office: Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President: Takushi Ishida), a major manufacturer of aluminum profiles for factory automation (FA), has developed the new "Monitor Arm MAX" to accommodate the increasing size of touch panel monitors. It is expected to see wide use, primarily for monitoring the operation and status of machine tools, manufacturing equipment, and labor-saving devices, and will go on sale starting Thursday, May 28. ■ Responding to the rapid increase in size due to the high functionality of touch panel monitors - The "Monitor Arm MAX". In recent years, with a worsening labor shortage and an ever-increasing demand for productivity, it is essential for manufacturing sites to have mechanisms to visualize, operate, and manage production and equipment status in real-time. Accordingly, the roles and functions of operating devices, including touch panel monitors, have become more advanced, leading to a rapid increase in their size and weight. On the other hand, the arms needed to mount these monitors have often been custom-designed for the specific device, with the time and effort required for design and procurement becoming a barrier to implementation. Against this backdrop, SUS has developed the "Monitor Arm MAX," the 'optimal solution for installing large monitors.' It minimizes implementation costs through combinations of standard parts while achieving both sufficient rigidity to support large touch panel monitors and high durability that maintains smoothness even after repeated swiveling. This product is composed of a lightweight, high-rigidity "extruded aluminum duct frame" realized by our extrusion technology, an "aluminum turn mount" with a patent-pending proprietary structure that enhances swiveling performance and durability, and "optional parts" that allow the swivel angle to be adjusted to a specified range according to the application. This enables a wide variety of freely configurable installations to suit any site. The four main features of the "Monitor Arm MAX" are: ① High Stability and Durability for High Loads: Thanks to a patent-pending proprietary structure and manufacturing method, the cross-sectional size of the extruded aluminum duct frame is kept small (77mm x 82.6mm). While slim and lightweight, it secures high rigidity and stability to freely install heavy, large monitors. It boasts a high load capacity that overwhelms competitor products (supports a maximum of "80kg" suspended at a horizontal extension of 1m) and swivel durability (over 10,000 continuous swivels at 80kg). ② Freely Customizable: Leveraging the excellent rigidity of the extruded aluminum duct frame, large monitors can be installed not only in a "suspended" position but also "lifted." In addition to specifying frame dimensions in 1mm increments, a wealth of parts for mounting, joining, and adjusting the swivel angle allows for freely configurable installations according to the site environment and application. ③ Stylish Appearance and Excellent Maintenance Performance: The surface of the high-precision, high-strength extruded aluminum material, produced in-house, is anodized to enhance corrosion resistance. It offers excellent maintainability, retaining its appearance and performance for a long time. Cables can be stored inside the arm, contributing to a stylish look and improved safety. ④ Industry's Fastest Class! (*1) Ships "as early as the 4th day after order": Composed of standardized frames and parts combinations (*2), it supports orders in 1mm increments while achieving rapid shipment "as early as 4 days after order." With industry-fastest delivery (*3), it strongly supports the quick launch of production lines and layout changes. (*1) Comparison with standard delivery times for welded steel arms or imported products that require ordering after purchase (our research). (*2, 3) Comparison with other companies' equivalent products with a maximum payload of 80kg or less. As of March 2026 (our research). ◆ Prices vary depending on type (shape), size, optional parts, etc. Performance Comparison with Competitor Products (Payload, Deflection Resistance, Swivel Durability, Assembly Time) *Comparison of products with a turn mount size of around □150 (our research as of March 2026). ① Payload: Weight that can be mounted 1000mm away (manufacturer's nominal value). ② Deflection Resistance: Weight that causes 1mm of deflection at 1000mm away. ③ Swivel Durability: Number of cycles until abnormal noise occurs or swiveling becomes impossible when continuously swiveled at or below the manufacturer's nominal payload. ④ Assembly Time: Time required (in minutes) to assemble the fixed side and operator box side rotating specifications. ■ SUS Corporation Overview Head Office: Espatio 6F, 14-25 Minami-cho, Suruga-ku, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture Established: June 19, 1992 Capital: 290 million yen Sales: 33.29 billion yen (consolidated sales for the fiscal year ending February 2025; 28.17 billion yen on a non-consolidated basis) Employees: 988 (including 934 full-time employees, as of May 2026) Business: Design, development, manufacturing, and sales of FA machinery, equipment, and unit products.
