Mounting Styles

4G-LTE Connectivity

Often used in remote outdoor applications where fiber or Wi-Fi internet connection is not feasible, ToughStation computer's configurable options include mobile 4G-LTE Internet connectivity.

Durable Touchscreens

Touchscreen options include resistive ArmorTouch, PCAP, and standard resistive:

  • Resistive ArmorTouch displays are ideal for outdoor applications facing direct sunlight and protect from scratches, abrasions, water, and chemical cleaning. ArmorTouch is a type of resistive touchscreen.
  • PCAP (projected capacitive) touchscreens are well-suited for settings in which operators wear plastic gloves, such as food and beverage processing or life sciences facilities.
  • Standard resistive touch displays are often used where users must wear thick gloves, and screens are at risk of suffering impact damage.  

Fully Sealed Enclosures

ToughStation computers are housed in durable aluminum or stainless-steel enclosures that are gasket sealed to resist corrosion from daily cleaning agents or washdown hoses.

High-Bright Sunlight-Readable Displays

ToughStation computers have options for high-bright displays measuring up to 1800 nits, making them suitable for outdoor applications and bright indoor environments such as factory floors.

Mounting Configurations

In addition to custom-height pedestals and mounting arms, the following mounting styles are available in most ToughStation sizes:  

  • Console
  • Console extreme
  • Mounting tabs
  • Panel with studs
  • VESA

NEMA and IP Protection

ToughStation computers offer IP66 and NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X protection against dust and water ingress. They are often used as HMIs in the interior of marine vessels or outdoor information displays.

Wide Range of Display Sizes

With display sizes ranging from the compact 10.4" to the expansive 43", ToughStation computers offer users a diversity of solutions.

Food and Beverage Processing Facilities

The ToughStation's stainless-steel design and PCAP (projected capacitive) touchscreen technology make it a reliable HMI solution for Food Processing Operations. It naturally resists bacteria and can be cleaned with corrosive chemicals without harm.

Life Sciences Applications

Ready for frequent chemical sanitation, ToughStation computers monitor and control processes in the life sciences industry, including pharmaceutical production facilities.

Transportation Industry Applications

ToughStation computers provide practical HMI functionality for both indoor and outdoor use. They are ideal for public-facing interfaces in transportation hubs like bus stations, train stations, and airports, where they display important information to travelers.

Shock and vibration protection features make the products reliable when located near moving vehicles or heavy machinery.
