Industrial Touch Screen Monitor Suppliers

The biggest point to consider when selecting industrial touch screen monitors is the size of the screen. Some are bigger than others, while most are generally between 10 inches and 24 inches. 

• 5-wire resistive touch screens: modern touch technology that’s more accurate, and made using a glass panel and a film screen. 
• Projected capacitive touch screens: supports multi-touch activation and can easily process simultaneous feedback. The picture quality is generally superior to others. 
• Infrared touch screens: use an invisible light beam and communicate using infrared emitters and receivers. 
• Surface capacitive touch screens: consist of a glass plate and an electrode layer that utilizes static electricity from the body or a stylus to activate the screen.
• Surface acoustic wave touch screens: use piezoelectric materials to create a field of electromagnetic waves on the top of the panel, registering contact seamlessly. 

Industrial touch screen monitors are designed for use in harsh and rugged environments. They can be installed in factories to gather real-time data, such as in CNC machining applications. 

They are also used in commercial environments, such as in an interactive kiosk where more people interact with the unit. As mentioned, they are designed to withstand constant human use and are built using durable materials.

There are several important factors to take into account when selecting an industrial touch screen monitor, such as:

• Type of screen: The screen technology used varies. It’s important to consider whether you want surface capacitive screens, 5-wire resistive screens, IR touch screens, or projected capacitive screens. 
• Screen size: Another important factor to consider is the size of the screen. Industrial touch screen monitors are available in sizes as little as 8” and as big as 32”. 
• Brightness: Some industrial touch screen monitors feature bright displays, with brightness peaking out at 1,000 nits. This makes them usable in direct sunlight or in bright environments. 
• Technology: You can also choose from a LCD or a LED. LCDs, or Liquid Clear Displays, use liquid crystals to display the image. LEDs, on the other hand, are brighter and provide a sharper display. 
• Mounting: Both panel and VESA mounting options are available. Open frame and rack mounts are also available. 
• Ports: It’s important to consider the ports for your industrial touch screen monitor. This is important and affects whether the monitor can integrate with other machines. Some monitors only feature a VGA input, while others now offer USB-C or support for DisplayPort or HDMI input as well.
• Resolution: Smaller industrial touch screen monitors feature a 480p or a 720p display. Some also feature a 1080p high-definition display.

The cost of an industrial touch screen monitor varies depending on a number of features. The screen type, the screen size, the brightness, multi-touch support, and the ports all play important. The bigger the screen and the bigger the resolution, the more it’s going to cost.

One of the best things about industrial touch screen monitors is that they don’t require much in the way of maintenance. They are made using rugged and durable materials, and apart from simply wiping the touch display clean now and then, they don’t need any maintenance work.
