SHAKING MONITORS? NOT WITH THE LEVUS WORKSTATION!

Designing a stable monitor mount with variable positions is a tricky task form the engineering point of view. Designing a robust, yet flexible mount for three or even six monitors is an even greater challenge. Keeping the monitor mount system cheap and affordable while retaining solid structure and flexibility of the set-up is seemingly impossible. Not so impossible for the LEVUS Team though! We realized that those monitors would require a different base structure - something that is capable of:
A) holding the weight
and
B) absorbing the motion impulse coming from the user to prevent shaking

Placing monitor mounts on an overhang arm like most of the alternatives out there was not an option. Wobbling is a typical problem of our, let’s call them "competition" since they are placing monitors on one extremely leveraged "arm" which is prone to shake regardless of the materials used. Just pay close attention to their youtube videos and see how the monitors are shaking at a slightest movement of those “happy testers” within. They won’t be so happy about the shake at the end of a full working…or a gaming day!

This is how we arrived to this rather odd looking triangular egg shape for the LEVUS core structure. Engineers have been borrowing recipes from Mother Nature since the beginning of time. Just like our colleagues who study bird flight to optimize aircraft wings, we observed an egg at a breakfast table....while looking for solutions of how to create a stable workstation that would not shake and wobble as you get in and out of it or change position within. Being a closed structure, an oval egg remains stable regardless of what you do within it. Any impulse would be naturally absorbed and muted by the structure itself – the egg just does not resonate. So there we had it - an optimal solution on a breakfast table! After some experiments and fine-tuning’s it turned out that a triangular-egg worked better for the task.
