Precautions for Using Industrial Touchscreens

In the fields of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, industrial touchscreens serve as crucial human-machine interfaces, undertaking key functions such as equipment control, data monitoring, and process display. LEEHON Technology, as a professional industrial touchscreen supplier, is committed to providing customers with high-performance, high-reliability display solutions. Proper use of industrial touchscreens can not only improve production efficiency but also extend equipment lifespan, ensuring the stability and safety of industrial production. This article will detail the precautions to take when using industrial touchscreens.

I. Precautions for Using Industrial Touchscreens

Environmental Adaptability
Temperature and Humidity: Industrial touchscreens need to withstand extreme temperature and humidity environments. Ensure the operating temperature range of the equipment is -20℃ to 60℃. In humid or dusty environments, the protection rating should reach IP65 or higher.

Vibration and Shock Resistance: Industrial touchscreens should comply with IEC 60068 standards and be able to withstand mechanical vibration and shock. Avoid applying strong impacts to the touchscreen during assembly.

Dust and Water Resistance: In dusty or humid environments, choose a touchscreen with an IP65 or higher protection rating. When cleaning the screen, use a soft cloth dampened with petroleum ether to wipe it; avoid using corrosive solvents. Operation and Maintenance
Handle with care: The touchscreen is made of glass and is fragile. Handle it gently during assembly to avoid scratches from collisions.

Proper Assembly: Lead wires must be inserted horizontally during assembly; do not bend or fold them. The reinforcing plate area of ​​the lead wires must not be bent.

Cleaning and Maintenance: When cleaning the screen, use a soft cloth (such as chamois leather) dampened with petroleum ether. Avoid using corrosive organic solvents.

Avoid Stacking: Do not stack touchscreens; use a tray.

Touch Technology and User Experience
Touch Technology Selection: Select the appropriate touch technology based on the application scenario. Resistive touchscreens are suitable for operation while wearing gloves, while capacitive touchscreens support multi-touch.

User Interface Design: Ensure the user interface is intuitive and the interaction design is reasonable, allowing operators to complete operations quickly and accurately.

Data Security and Electrical Safety
Data Security: In automated industrial applications, data has high value and requires protection through encryption technology, regular backups, and other measures.

Electrical Safety: Ensure the stability of electrical components; the power-on/off interval should be no less than 6 seconds. Power must be turned off before plugging or unplugging cables.

Supplier and After-Sales Service

Choose a Reliable Supplier: Select reputable suppliers and offer comprehensive after-sales service to ensure timely resolution of any problems.

Long-Term Supply Capability: Consider the supplier’s long-term supply capability to ensure equipment stability and compatibility.

II: FAQ

Q1: What should be the minimum protection rating for an industrial touchscreen?

A1: The minimum protection rating for an industrial touchscreen should be IP65. For humid or dusty environments, IP67 or higher is recommended.

Q2: What cleaning agents can be used to clean an industrial touchscreen?

A2: When cleaning an industrial touchscreen, it is recommended to use a soft cloth dampened with petroleum ether. Avoid using corrosive organic solvents.

Q3: What precautions should be taken when assembling the lead wires of an industrial touchscreen?

A3: Lead wires must be inserted horizontally during assembly and should not be bent or folded. The reinforcing plate area of ​​the lead wires should not be bent.

Q4: What temperature range is suitable for industrial touchscreens to operate in? A4: The operating temperature range of industrial touchscreens is generally -20℃ to 60℃. For extreme environments, special models supporting -40℃ to 85℃ are available.

Q5: What factors should be considered when selecting an industrial touchscreen?

A5: When selecting an industrial touchscreen, environmental adaptability (such as temperature, humidity, and protection level), touch technology (such as resistive or capacitive), data security measures, electrical safety, and the supplier’s after-sales service should be considered.
