Key benefits of the technology
Many industrial applications require extremely robust touch technology, as sensors are often exposed to aggressive chemicals, extreme weather conditions and regular heavy impacts. Zytronic's PCT™ and MPCT™ projected capacitive touch sensors have been tested and proven to meet this challenge.
Designed for industrial and medical applications, our touch sensors offer system designers in this field a wide range of features. Zytronic Sensors:
- Are not affected in their performance by water, oil, dirt or deep scratches on the touch screen surface.
- Detect fingers, a conductive pen, and even a gloved hand through glass thicknesses of 20 mm or more, helping hardware designers create intrinsically safe operator panels that meet ATEX and HAZLOC standards for use on oil rigs, in mines, and other potentially explosive environments.
- Offer HMI system designers the ability to create sealed units that meet NEMA 4, 12 and IP65 or higher standards for dusty or very wet applications.
- Can be made of thermally toughened and laminated glass of various types, such as Corning® Gorilla® Glass, which prevents damage from heavy use and impact and provides excellent vandal and scratch resistance.
- Are available with antimicrobial glass and coatings and in fully low-profile designs that are easy to disinfect, fighting the spread of disease and infection.
- Operate through a protective polycarbonate or plastic front panel, which helps meet strict regulations regarding the use of glass in the food industry (control panels).
- Provide a nearly limitless selection of other customization options, including privacy filters to restrict viewing angles in safety-sensitive applications, multi-color screen printing to add frames and logos to your design, and IR blocking filters to support system thermal management.
- Are available in custom designs with no minimum order quantity (MOQ) and usually with no/with low upfront cost (NRE).
