Robustness thanks to high-quality construction
The touch panels we supply feature particularly durable and wear-free glass surfaces (PCAP technology) that can also be operated with gloves. Unlike conventional film surfaces, these systems offer superior robustness thanks to the use of thermally tempered glass with a thickness of up to 20 mm.
Quality assurance at the highest level
The components are integrated into customer-specific housings entirely in Germany by our specialized partners. A circumferential adhesive seal provides reliable protection against dust, moisture, and water jets, which significantly extends the service life of the touch systems.
All systems delivered undergo comprehensive quality and functional testing, from the lamination of the multi-touch films and housing integration to the final testing of all electronic components. This ensures maximum precision, reliability, and durability of all industrial touch panels and touchscreens.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are machine-control HMI solutions designed for?
Machine-control interfaces are designed for precise, repeatable operation in manufacturing equipment, CNC systems and heavy-duty machinery. Reliable tactile feedback and robust construction support accurate input over long service cycles.
How can machine-control interfaces be adapted to a machine?
Key layouts, legends, housing geometry, switching technology and touch functions can be matched to the operator workflow. Industrial keyboards and silicone keyboards can be integrated from prototype through production.
Which technical details should be considered for machine control?
The design should address dust, moisture, vibration, impact, glove operation, tactile feedback, cleaning and electrical or mechanical integration. Prototyping and complete testing help ensure reliable performance in the final machine environment.
