PowerCube – Small Form Factor Powerful Intel Pentium Duo Core Based Industrial Computer

VarTech Systems has recently released the PowerCube, which is the most powerful small form factor industrial computer in VarTech's product line-up. Engineered with the latest technology including Intel’s new 1.73 GHz Pentium Duo Core processor, the PowerCube delivers the ultimate in high performance rugged small form factor computing.

The PowerCube is designed with a standard 2GB of memory and a multitude of I/O ports. Impressive features, such as a DVD/CD-RW drive, built-in gigabit LAN, USB and Firewire are included in the base system.

The PowerCube has been engineered with a vibration dampened, high performance Scorpio series hard drive to enable operation in the harshest environments. The Scorpio HDD delivers best-in-class performance with low power requirements comparable to much slower notebook drives. In addition, you'll get the quietest 2.5-inch drive on the market with real-time data protection technology to help keep your data safe along with low power consumption that yields increased reliability. ShockGuard technology is utilized to protect the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shock. DuraStep Ramp technology locks the heads in a secure position away from the disk to provide another layer of protection when the drive is not in use. Utilizing the most technologically advanced material available, the drive can perform a minimum of 600,000 load/unload cycles without contamination - up to twice the performance of its competitors. Additional vibration dampening bushing protection has been integrated on the exterior of the drive to provide the most advanced form of protection available.

The rugged all aluminum small form factor enclosure measures about the size of a hard cover novel yet surpasses performance of most desktop computers and notebook PCs. Multiple mounting options are available including an anti-shock and anti-vibration mobile mounting system, an ideal choice for rugged outdoor mobile applications. The compact size of the vehicle mount computer is smaller than a typical notebook computer, allowing for concealed installation in any available mounting location.

The robust PowerCube computer can either be purchased separately or installed within any VarTech industrial grade workstation and most of the VarTech all-in-one computers. PowerCube technology is also the basis of VarTech's newly improved Rugged Industrial NEMA 4 (IP65) and NEMA 4X (IP66) Panel PC Computers.

Panel PC Computers

New Series of Robust 15", 17" and 19" Panel PC Computers
NEMA 4 (IP65) and 4X (IP66) Models Utilize PowerCube Computer

VarTech introduces a new line of multi-functional, industrial grade Panel PC products integrated with Intel’s Duo Core Processing Technology. These versatile and highly reliable embedded industrial computers are available in a variety of display sizes and configurations. These are not “relabeled” overseas made products offered by most of our competitors, but instead are designed, produced and supported by VarTech Systems here in the USA.

Panel PCs are a space saving solution for many environments. VarTech’s advanced 15", 17" and 19" panel PCs are available with either a rugged gasket sealed aluminum NEMA 4 (IP65) black powder coated front beveled bezel or with VarTech’s best-in-class NEMA 4X (IP66) 304 or 316 stainless steel beveled bezel.

Powered with the latest technology including Intel’s new 1.73 GHz Pentium Duo Core processor, these Panel PCs deliver the ultimate in high performance rugged computing. The rugged displays provide superb viewing quality and are equipped with a resistive touch screen. Other touch screen configurations are available. Below are links to more information on the improved panel pc line of all-in-one computers. For a price quote or to speak to a representative please complete the contact form or call 1-800-223-8050.

Newly Introduced Displays

Wide-Range Extended Operational Temperature Chassis Mount LCD Display Systems with ThermalCare Technology
VT104CT(10.4" screen) | VT121CT(12.1" screen) | VT150CT(15.0" screen)

VarTech Systems has expanded its industry-leading portfolio of innovative liquid crystal display (LCD) solutions for industrial applications. VarTech introduces three new amorphous-silicon, thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD based Open-Frame Chassis Mount Display Systems. Developed by VarTech Systems, these new monitors meet the demanding requirements of the industrial marketplace by providing wide operating temperature ranges, wide viewing angles and high resolutions.

Real-world applications, such as military field usage and outdoor kiosks call for LCD systems that realize high levels of visibility to clearly display information and facilitate easy indoor and outdoor reading. Tolerance of rugged conditions is also essential to enable accurate and vivid display in high or low temperature environments.

VarTech has built upon its design expertise and position as the worldwide leader within the Industrial Computing Marketplace by providing rugged industrial LCD solutions and optimizing these new displays systems to address the challenging operational and environmental requirements inherent to industrial applications and then backed by a level of quality and support unmatched throughout the industry.

These new display systems are optimized for Industrial usage and are often in the field for years, operating in grueling physical environments. VarTech Systems offers long-term product support, typically five to seven years for industrial LCD modules.

The three robust LCD display systems introduced today offer exceptional native resolution capabilities (XGA 1024 x 768), high contrast ratios, and boast a wide operating temperature range of -30 degrees Celsius to +70 degrees Celsius.

Additionally, each LCD is equipped with VarTech’s proprietary VBOND process, a UV protected solid, transparent bond. This procedure permanently bonds the front protective glass overlay or touch screen directly to the frontal face of the display.

VarTech’s unique optical bond eliminates reflection from the two internal layers and utilizes an adhesive that matches the index of refraction of the flat panel and the overlay. As well, the outer surface of the protective window is chemically treated with anti-reflecting coatings which matches the front surface of the glass with the index of refraction of air. This combination reduces the total reflection of the display and front cover glass to less than 2% of the ambient light. A reduction of reflection of this level, all but eliminates reflective loss in most ambient lighting conditions. With reductions of this level, displays with 250 to 450 nits of brightness (cd/m2), traditionally not viewable in direct sunlight, will now be readable in very high ambient brightness or indirect lighting conditions.

VBOND also removes all air gaps, therefore reducing the number of internal reflecting surfaces which can lead to significant degradation of the LCD’s optical performance.

All internal system circuit boards are conformal coated for added protection against humidity, salt, etc.

Currently these displays are available in 10.4", 12.1" and 15" sizes. For more information please complete the contact form or call 1-800-223-8050.
