Touchscreen for welding station.


 

Does anybody have an industrial touchscreen PC you are using for Mach4? Do I want resistance or capacitive touch? What is the difference as far as feel/operation? I was looking at this one.

Thank-you!

Lots of details missing on site. Hard to tell if it is cap or res touch, sort of implies both? Nothing about hard drive, is it SSD? Price?  I am good at missing things so maybe it is all there?

if it is for a welding station is there any chance of splatter hitting the screen? I think i would rather have a non touch if that is the case so it could be protected.

Yep, that was just an example I found. As far as welding it will definitely need to have a screen protector. I’m just curious on whether the fanless design and 8G or less of RAM will be sufficient. Most of the panel mount industrial PC’s don’t have much RAM, but I found one that can be configured up to 8GB.

 

Thank-you!

wow....  t'was another livetime ago......

I'd sub contracted to write the video portion of an industrial test station touchscreen used by the operator while testing airbag squibs.

The point here, they wore gloves that weighed nearly 11 pounds...(steel armored) to protect their digits when squibs exploded on the test stands rather than just responding electronically.
These guys regularly were busting the CRT touch screens with these massive glove as they really couldn't feel anything through them. 

short version... all you ned is a conductive pad through the glove, for contact and either will work just fine.

On that note.... many mfrs now make winter hand glove with just such a touch pad built in so phone touchscreens work with a gloved hand.

Depends on the environment, maint schedules, dust, and monkeys at the keyboard.......   but 10 $300 15" touch screens will out last 1, $3000 industrial unit. BTDT supporting manufacturing automation for nearly 4+ decades.
