High Performance in Extreme Environments
MicroTouch?Near Field Imaging touch screens are the preferred touch solution for applications that require extreme durability in harsh environments. NFI projected capacitive technology is accurate enough to control equipment precisely, yet sensitive enough to detect finger touches through gloves. Ideally suited for harsh environments, NFI touch screens withstand high pressure washdowns common in industrial or automotive manufacturing and are unaffected by most surface contaminants found in factory automation, utilities and mining environments.
