Mounting Styles

4G-LTE Connectivity

Often used in remote outdoor applications where fiber or Wi-Fi internet connection is not feasible, ToughStation computer's configurable options include mobile 4G-LTE Internet connectivity.

Durable Touchscreens

Touchscreen options include resistive ArmorTouch, PCAP, and standard resistive:

  • Resistive ArmorTouch displays are ideal for outdoor applications facing direct sunlight and protect from scratches, abrasions, water, and chemical cleaning. ArmorTouch is a type of resistive touchscreen.
  • PCAP (projected capacitive) touchscreens are well-suited for settings in which operators wear plastic gloves, such as food and beverage processing or life sciences facilities.
  • Standard resistive touch displays are often used where users must wear thick gloves, and screens are at risk of suffering impact damage.  

Fully Sealed Enclosures

A standardized internal architecture ensures design consistency across sizes. Fully sealed stainless-steel or aluminum enclosures resist corrosion from sanitation processes, with builds optimized to ensure a constant seal.

High-Bright Sunlight-Readable Displays

With options up to 1800 nits of brightness, ToughStation computers provide reliable visibility in outdoor sunlight, bright factory floors, or mixed-lighting conditions. Optional dimmers offer flexible operation in environments that transition between day and night.

NEMA and IP Protection

Built to meet NEMA 4/4X and IP65/IP66 standards, the ToughStation 4 resists dust, water, and corrosion. It is ideal for washdown environments, marine interiors, and outdoor installations.

Wide Range of Display Sizes

Available with displays ranging from 8.4" to 43", ToughStation computers provide versatile solutions from compact operator panels to large-format industrial HMIs.

Food and Beverage Processing Facilities

With its stainless-steel design, sealed enclosures, and glove-compatible touchscreens, ToughStation computers are purpose-built for sanitary washdown environments. Their consistent sealing system prevents ingress even during daily high-pressure cleaning.

Life Sciences Applications

Designed for frequent chemical sanitation and precise process control, ToughStation computers support the demanding needs of pharmaceutical and biotech facilities with consistent reliability and long service lifespans.

Transportation Industry Applications

ToughStation computers provide practical HMI functionality for both indoor and outdoor use. They are ideal for public-facing interfaces in transportation hubs like bus stations, train stations, and airports, where they display important information to travelers.

Shock and vibration protection features make the products reliable when located near moving vehicles or heavy machinery.
