New product prototype: Industrial Folding Keyboard
Our engineering group objected to posting pictures of such an early prototype, but we are really excited about our new keyboard design: the industrial 4-position folding keyboard.
Cables and KVM Extenders: Moving signals from the control room to the industrial touch screen
Many Hope customers place server or desktop class computer equipment in a clean, safe, IT closet, while exposing only our rugged industrial touchscreens and workstations to the rigors of the factory floor. To make this work, we provide a variety of long cable options, and even Industrial KVM Extenders that can push those signals all the way to 1000′ away from the PC. This post discusses these cabling options in detail.
Product Tip: Calibrating “Below the Touch Point”
When doing an initial touch screen alignment, the Elo drivers used in all of our industrial touch screens display the standard “touch the targets” dialog: the user is shown a series of onscreen targets and asked to click on them.
Why do we use Resistive Touch Screens?
We use resistive touch screen sensors in all of our industrial touch screen models. These sensors are very well suited to industrial control applications for a variety of reasons. This article discusses the technology itself and its benefits. We also talk about the Elo AccuTouch line of sensors and controllers, and why we chose them.
Linux drivers for Industrial Touchscreens
We use Elo Touchsystems touch sensors and controllers in almost all of our industrial touchscreen products. This post gives an overview of how Elo handles driver support for Linux platform.
