Overview
ArgonFDS has developed full-sized, lightweight, and compact family of keyboards for rugged military environments. Our keyboards are resistant to penetrating materials such as sand, dust and liquids. A variety of keyboards can be selected for different languages, backlighting schemes, key force and travel. The ARK200 is fully qualified to airborne (C-130) specifications, including NVIS backlit keys. The enclosure is made of bent, welded aluminum for the top assembly and a milled aluminum plate for a secure bottom plate that provides a solid base that is resistant to bending motions or can be bolted down. We can provide a version that has a hinged (with several locking positions) mounting provision for a 19” rack or a surface mounting version. The customer may select a variety of indicators or buttons depending on the application.
Moreover, ArgonFDS prides itself on working collaboratively with customers to precisely achieve their desired solution. Our company has a proven track record of providing high-quality, reliable, and long-lasting products, earning us a trusted reputation in aerospace & defense. A trackball or glide pad can be specified by the customer.
