4.3″ touch system

With the 4.3″ touch system we show you a complete solution including the touch screen, electronics and software as well as the housing. A product that is ready for immediate use thanks to plug and play.

The operating unit can be controlled easily and intuitively via the 4.3″ PCAP touch display. Using the LOCA optical bonding process, we bond the touch display to the cover glass and eliminate an air gap that would otherwise occur. This improves the touch functionality and the brilliance of the user interface.

For the stainless steel housing, two U-shaped stainless steel frames are welded together. Polishing and grinding make the weld seams virtually invisible, so that the individual parts merge into a single unit. The brushed stainless steel housing gives the touch system a noble design and protects the device from external influences at the same time. Smooth communication and function are ensured by the in-house equipped electronics unit.

4.3″ touch system keyfacts:

– Cover glass, anti-reflective, with C-edge grinding, screen printed
