Elo’s AccuTouch touchscreens, the proven market leader in five-wire resistive technology, are the preferred solution for applications that demand reliability, input flexibility, and contamination resistance. AccuTouch touchscreens, with their patented technology, deliver patented technology, deliver a touch response that is drift-free and accurate in high-use applications. Compare the five-wire design of AccuTouch, where both X and Y measurements are made on the stable rear glass layer vs. other resistive technology designs where the flexing plastic coversheet is used to measure one axis. AccuTouch touchscreens provide a longer product life backed by a five-year warranty— with standing more than 35million touches vs. the one- year warranty typical with four/eight-wire manufacturers.
AccuTouch touchscreens can be sealed against contamination and certified to meet NEMA 4/4x/12 and IP 65 standards. AccuTouch touchscreens are the ideal solution for POS, voting machines, industrial automation, medical
equipment, retail, office, and pharmacy automation.
