Analog Resistive Touch Screens are transparent data input devices commonly used with Industrial HMIs (such as EXOR), to provide a user friendly method of human-computer interaction. These screens can be operated with the touch of a finger (with or without gloves) or a stylus. Touch pressure from a stylus or finger causes electrical contact between top and bottom circuits thus activating the programmed object (minimum object size is based upon programmed object size - typical 16x8 pixel). Analog Resistive touch screens differ from grids in that they are not restricted to a minimum activating stylus size. which means when an operator touches an object on the screen, swiping is not required to overcome grid voids.
Durability testing has proven greater than 3 Million activations.
