The carbon black finish is genuinely versatile: it reads as premium in a high-end brand activation and blends into a moody game room equally well. Because it ships ready to play and re-skins in minutes, operators can rotate it across clients and campaigns without downtime or costly rebranding. Made for Arcade machines are trusted by internationally recognised brands including Dell, Hennessy, and Uniqlo for exactly this kind of high-visibility engagement work. The fully programmable computer controls mean you set the experience - from claw difficulty to lighting sequences - without touching the hardware. If you're looking for a single machine that works as hard as your team does, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCabinet Color\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApproximate Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApproximate Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e190 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220V \/ 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Prize\/Capsule Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 100-127 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePayment Modes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFree play, tokens, coins, optional remote control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLighting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour-changing LED columns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eControls\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJoystick and large push button\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMobility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCaster wheels included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDuty Cycle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax 4 hours continuous; 10-minute cooling break required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMinimum Age\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 years (under adult supervision if underage)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCertifications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE - Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC, EMC 2014\/30\/EU, RoHS 2011\/65\/EU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShips From\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGoirle, Netherlands (ships worldwide)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo - ships fully assembled and plug-and-play ready\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreight (large cabinet); contact us for shipping quote\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I wrap or skin this machine with my own branding?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - that's the whole point of the DIY Carbon Black model.

Made for Arcade strongly recommends connecting it through a quality surge protector, and through a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) wherever the power supply may be unstable - such as at events running on generators. Power damage from surges or brown-outs is not covered under warranty. If you are in the US or a 110V country, please contact us before ordering to confirm compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I adjust the claw difficulty and win rate?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes. The machine's on-board computer includes a full operator settings menu covering claw strength, probability settings, timing parameters, lighting, and sounds. The menu is protected by a key-locked access panel so only operators can adjust it. This lets you dial in the experience to suit your audience - tighter for a competitive event, more generous for a family activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Made for Arcade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56115317899569,"sku":"DIY claw machine carbon black","price":2549.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/carbon-black-DIY-claw-machine.webp?v=1788555607","url":"https:\/\/omahasportsandgames.com\/products\/made-for-arcade-diy-claw-machine-carbon-black","provider":"Omaha Sports \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
