Features & use cases.

Fully Sealed Keyboards

Our fully sealed silicone or membrane keyboard options provide an operator interface while protecting the HMI from environmental factors.

Functionality-Enhancing Peripherals

VarTech's industrial workstations are always customized to the unique needs of each customer's application.

They offer numerous options for peripherals, including security-focused biometric fingerprint scanners, RFID readers, and cameras.

ToughStation workstations can also be equipped with function buttons, thermal printers, and touchpads to meet additional end-user needs in a wide range of environments.

High-Bright Displays

Ready for bright factory settings or outdoor installations, ToughStation HMIs' high-bright sunlight-readable displays offer clear visuals in diverse applications with up to 1800 nits of brightness.

Units used outdoors during the day and night are often equipped with full-range dimming.

Mounting Options

Often ordered with our customizable pedestals and arm mounts, we build every unit to the customer's requirements. Traditional mounting tabs are also available.

NEMA and IP Protection

ToughStation workstations are built to meet NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, and IP66 ratings to protect the internal components from dust and water ingress. Made of stainless steel, the HMIs are an effective solution for resisting corrosion in washdown environments such as food and beverage production facilities.

Ready for Extreme Temperatures

The rugged components of ToughStation workstations allow for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 70°C, depending on configuration. Our workstations offer reliable functionality in the cold or heat through configurations equipping the HMI for extreme temperatures.

Rugged Touchscreens

In addition to keyboards and peripheral devices, ToughStation computers and monitors can be operated using industrial-grade touchscreen solutions, including standard resistive, PCAP (projected capacitive), and resistive ArmorTouch.

Food Processing Operations

A NEMA 4X HMI ideal for washdown areas, our ToughStation units have integrated flat surface keyboards and options for function buttons, RFID readers, and touchscreens compatible with gloves and styluses

Life Sciences Applications

Our industrial workstations are customizable to meet the stringent requirements of life sciences applications.

They come in stainless steel enclosures built to meet NEMA 4X and IP66 protection standards, protecting the unit from corrosion in the face of frequent chemical sanitation processes
