Enhanced Durability, Compact Design, and Improved Engineering for Rugged Environments

Clemmons, North Carolina, USA – VarTech Systems Inc., a leader in industrial computing solutions, proudly announces the launch of its All-Weather 5th Generation product family. Designed for the most demanding environments, this next-generation lineup delivers superior protection, refined engineering, and increased versatility while maintaining compatibility with previous generations.

Advancing Rugged Performance

The All-Weather 5th Generation products undergo rigorous testing and have achieved up to IP68 ratings, ensuring resistance to water, dust, and environmental hazards. Several key design enhancements contribute to this improved sealing capability:

• Increased number of mounting screws around the LCD for consistent gasket pressure

• Thicker 1/8 HT800 gasket for an improved seal

• LCD clamped on all four sides for secure placement

• Elimination of the I/O insert plate, reducing potential leak points

Expanded Mounting Options for Versatility

VarTech’s latest design supports a broader range of mounting configurations, expanding integration possibilities for diverse applications:

• VESA/RAM Mount

• Console Extreme

• Console Mount (new)

• Panel Mount (new)

• Rack Mount (new)

Compact and Backward Compatible

VarTech has optimized the overall dimensions of each unit, making them more compact and slightly lighter. The smaller enclosures not only enhance portability but also ensure reverse compatibility with the All-Weather 4th Generation (AW4) when older console extreme mounting patterns are required.

Streamlined Engineering for Customization

The new generation follows a formula-driven approach that minimizes engineering time while enabling future-proof enhancements:

• Simplifies custom enclosure configurations

• Provides the flexibility to incorporate water-cooling technology

• Ensures formula-driven placement of front buttons, front USB ports, and rear connectors

Efficient Assembly and Improved Aesthetics

Assembly efficiency is a priority in the All-Weather 5th Generation design, featuring:

• Fewer rear cover screws to facilitate a quicker seal

• Optimized connector placement to prevent tool interference

• A refined aesthetic with a sleek bezel edge and milled VarTech logo, eliminating front stickers

• A smooth-edged button pocket for a streamlined appearance
