Reliability in demanding environments
MILITARY & AEROSPACE
Touchscreens can be used in a range of aerospace applications, from inflight entertainment right through to cockpit equipment including navigation systems and flight chart monitoring. 100% uptime and flawless operation is the expectation in aerospace touchscreen applications.
For military applications ranging from handheld devices to in-vehicle navigation, touchscreens are increasingly offering an easy-to-use interface for challenging situations. These mission critical applications require continuous reliable operation for many years in some of the most difficult and extreme operating environments.
SUPERIOR OPTICAL PERFORMANCE
Whether being used outside in direct sunlight or in the extreme light conditions of an aeroplane, exceptional sunlight readability is critical. TouchNetix delivers rugged touchscreens that stand up to the elements with no unwanted optical effects.
CONTAMINANT PROOF
In hostile environments dust, moisture or grease may be deposited onto the touchscreen and operation must continue as normal. It is not practical to turn such devices off and wipe contaminants from the screen. TouchNetix touchscreens are carefully tuned to only respond to valid touches and can detect, classify and reject false inputs on the screen.
GLOVED OPERATION
It is normal for operators to wear gloves in military or aviation scenarios. Consumer grade capacitive touchscreens cannot detect a gloved finger as the glove forms and insulating barrier between the finger and the screen. TouchNetix touchscreens are tuned to work reliably even with heavyweight gloves.
ROBUST TO ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE AND LOW EMISSIONS
In military and aviation environments conducted Electromagnetic interference(EMI) can be high. TouchNetix touchscreens are designed to comply with the rigourous EN61000 4-6 Class A Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) specification, even in parts of the spectrum where there may be enhanced levels of noise from radio transmitters etc. Emissions from TouchNetix touchscreens are also minimised through careful design and tuning.
THE TOUCHNETIX RANGE
TouchNetix has two standard ranges of industrial range capacitive touchscreen module products covering screen sizes up to 21.5” in diagonal. Alternatively to meet specific customer requirements TouchNetix will also develop custom touchscreen systems.
