Features

Impact Protection

Our in-house optical bonding process allows VarTech's ruggedized LCD displays to resist cracking or shattering upon impact. Bezels are on nearly all our units, preventing direct impact on the display's surface.

In addition, our durable aluminum and stainless-steel enclosures can suffer impact damage without compromising the integrity of internal components.

VarTech's computers and monitors' standard resistive touch displays are made to withstand heavy damage that can crack the screen without affecting the unit's functionality.

We offer custom glass treatments for PCAP touchscreens for extreme environments in which impact damage is expected.

Display Coverings

Screen protectors, often paired with our standard resistive touchscreens for displays requiring touch functionality, are available for applications where foreign objects are likely to impact the screen.

Shock and Vibration Protection

Tested and approved by a third party, our shock-mounted components, including mounts, conformally coated circuit boards, locking I/O ports, and connector cables, are designed to be flexible and absorb vibrations and sudden movement.

Our state-of-the-art optical bonding process in our North Carolina facility's Class 10000 cleanroom also supports our displays' resistance to shock and vibration damage.

Use Cases

Aerospace and Aviation

Our computers' shock and vibration protection serve a wide range of purposes in the aerospace and aviation industries. When equipped with our EMI protection packages, the features partner to meet the unique needs of airports and aerospace facilities.

Manufacturing

Our industrial computers and monitors' vibration resistance features protect displays and internal components from shock and vibration caused by machinery that our units frequently operate in manufacturing facilities.

Marine and Maritime

Constructed and tested to meet NEMA 6 and IP67 protection ratings, our All-Weather computers and monitors are engineered for use in marine environments where ships face constant motion.

Our ToughStation computers and monitors often operate internal processes in marine vessels where all technology needs to withstand shock from the movement of motors and other essential machinery.

Military and Defense

Deployed in battlefield applications, All-Weather and ToughStation units are installed in armored vehicles, where they control weapons systems and are built with compact heads-up mounting configurations. Protecting internal components is an essential quality of our computer's ruggedization features.

Mining

Controlled explosions are common in mining environments, so our units' shock and vibration protection, paired with resistance to extreme temperatures, is a suitable option when everyday durability is a must. Our units' fully sealed design protects our computers, monitors, and HMIs from dust and moisture ingress.

Transportation

Our WeighStation HMI kiosk, designed for the trucking industry, connects to truck scales to check cargo weight, storing and transferring the data while withstanding the vibrations caused by heavy vehicles.
