3M Touch Systems MicroTouch and Multi-Touch Surface Capacitive Touch Displays

The 3M MicroTouch C1500SS (15"), C1700SS (17"), and C2234SW (22") Displays are robust metal chassis displays which use 3M 's industry-standard surface capacitive touch technology to provide durable, optically-enhanced, and cost competitive alternatives to 5-wire resistive displays used in industrial automation equipment and kiosk enclosures. The C2234SW also provides an engaging large form factor display for use in these same applications. The C1500SS , C1700SS , and C2234SW displays offer multiple mounting options to make integration easy, and the first two also have a variety of bezel options for sealing against liquids and other contaminants. The C1500SS and C2234SW displays also have a remote on-screen display module which helps simplify any changes to the display image during installation or system maintenance.

Multiple mounting and bezel options enable customers to meet their application needs at minimal cost. The C1500SS and C1700SS displays offer a 75mm VESA pattern, and the C2234SW a 100mm VESA pattern, to provide arm mounting capability for industrial automation equipment. This minimizes the capital expenditure needed to upgrade equipment with touch . L-brackets are included for installations requiring the touch display to be fully enclosed. An optional VESA mounting bracket is also available for the C1500SS display .

The 22-inch 3M Multi-Touch M2256PW and C2254PW Displays each combine a projected capacitive matrix touchscreen offering ultra-fast, accurate, and precise touch response (20-plus finger for M2256PW and 10 finger for C2254PW ), with a high-definition, wide viewing angle LCD to create a multi-touch display that meets or exceeds the most demanding interactive applications. Both displays have a highly-durable glass front surface with anti-stiction coating that greatly reduces surface friction and allows users fingers to glide across the display for easy gesture functions. Also, the M2256PW display works with thin gloves, responds to very light touch, and is fully compatible with Windows 7 .

Both the M2256PW and C2254PW Displays use 3M Projected Capacitive Technology ( 3M PCT ) with "full multi-touch " capabilities. Designed to push touch performance beyond traditional zoom, pinch, expand, and rotate capabilities, this technology offers developers an interactive tool of 20 resolvable touches at less than 6 millisecond (ms) point speed with the M2256PW display , and 10 touches at less than 12 millisecond touch speed with the C2254PW . Ultra-fast multi-touch capabilities developed by 3M can help overcome latency issues associated with software filtering factors and/or slow touch response rate which can negatively impact the user experience. In addition, 3M PCT technology is more natural, intuitive, and responsive compared to optically-based two touch systems.

The C1500SS display offers three bezel options, and the C1700SS display offers two bezel options. The standard CT150 Touch Monitor product includes the Slimline Bezel , which is flush with the edges of the display . There are reinforced bosses on the monitor case for bracket mounting. This style is ideal for rear mount and arm-mounted applications.

The Contour Flanged Bezel , optional for the C1500SS , is contoured on the front to resemble a desktop monitor bezel , with a lip to cover the air gap between the touch display and the enclosure opening. This bezel is designed for front mount or "drop-in" applications, and is sold separately from the monitor . The Slimline Bezel and Contour Flanged Bezel are plastic bezels , ideal for solutions that require a NEMA 1 seal rating.

The Industrial Flanged Bezel is an optional rugged metal , gasketed bezel with wide flange and multiple attachment points to both the display and the enclosure. This bezel , available for both sizes of display , enables kiosks or others enclosures to support NEMA 4X / IP66 seal ratings. It is also sold separately from the monitor .
