Resistive Touch Screen
The Panamich Solutions MicroTouch resistive touchscreens are based on proven five-wire resistive technology, the preferred solution for applications that demand reliability, input flexibility, and contamination resistance. The MicroTouch five-wire resistive touchscreens use a glass panel with a uniform resistive coating. A thick polyester coversheet is tightly suspended over the top of the glass, separated by small, transparent insulating dots. The screens work with standard EETI controller/chip solutions and drivers under a wide variety of operating systems, and are available in a set of standard products as well as customized designs.
Smooth Integrations
MicroTouch Zero-Bezel touchscreens are available with proprietary touch technology to deliver a touch response that is drift-free and accurate in high-use applications. The zero-bezel design eliminates the need for a traditional front-bezel, achieving a smooth, seamless flat surface for a clean, modern look. MicroTouch zero-bezel resistive touchscreens use a flexible printed circuit cable that virtually eliminates the cable attachment bump that is typical on most resistive touchscreens and enables a smooth, flat integration.
Quality is built in
Panamich is MicroTouch delivers both X and Y measurements made on a stable rear glass layer where many other resistive touchscreen designs use a flexing plastic coversheet to measure only one axis. As a result, MicroTouch resistive touchscreens provide a longer product life, designed to withstand more than 35 million touches.
High industry standards
MicroTouch touchscreens can be sealed against contamination to support NEMA 4/4x/12 and IP65 standards. Every screen meets pencil hardness 4H per ASTM D3363.
