3M strengthens touchscreen offering for outdoor kiosks and ATMs
18 Oct 2007
LONDON — 3M will announce an extended temperature specification for its ClearTek II Capacitive Touch Screens at KioskCom Europe, in an effort to strengthen its appeal for outdoor applications. The company will be showing its complete portfolio of innovative touchscreen and touchmonitor products for the self-service kiosk and ATM markets at the show, including the vandal-resistant MicroTouch ToughTouch II Capacitive Touch Screens, EX II capacitive electronics, the M170 17-inch LCD Touch Monitor and the CT150 15-inch LCD Touch Monitor.
Following testing, 3M Touch Systems is now able to assure ClearTek II Capacitive Touch Screens for operation from +70-degrees C to -40-degrees C, a strong advantage for operators of outdoor kiosks and ATMs in colder climates.
Key features of ClearTek II include at least five times more wear-resistance and durability over competitive solutions, accurate touch performance and the highest levels of light transmission in the marketplace today. The screens are available in sizes from 6.4-inch to 32-inch diagonal.
