  Neat Robotic Flat Screen TV Mount

By Manisha Kanetkar | Monday | 02/04/2007

Designed for open-plan living spaces, the new Skunkworks robotic flat screen mounting system allows you to move your plasma or LCD TV around to different rooms of the house.

The Trak-Kit system comprises of a length of track that suspends a flat screen TV of up 270kg. The screen can then be rotated or moved anywhere along the track – giving you multiple viewing points.

This is particularly useful for open-plan living spaces – in which you could move your TV from the living room position to the kitchen, for example.

Skunkworks says the "track" itself is a unique system of concave cam rollers made from smooth-running cast nylon. The rollers are housed in extruded aluminium casing and the track comes in 3 metre lengths, which can be added together to create a range of configurations.

All cables are integrated into the track housing and the speakers are incorporated into the mount in either a fixed, static position or motorised to move from behind the screen into their audio-ready position.

The system comes in both manual and robotic models – the robotic model operates via

a customised touch screen remote control. It can be pre-programmed to precise set-ups and positions. Skunkworks also suggests that the system can be used as a mobile art gallery – so you can display art work on the reverse side of the flat screen TV – smart!

Prices for a customised Skunkworks Trak-Kit system are available on request.
