Mounting Styles

Fully Sealed Keyboards

Two of our three enclosure styles, ergonomic and recessed, possess an integrated keyboard. Ready for hazardous area operation, our fully sealed keyboards are part of the rugged design. Workstations with keyboards can also be equipped with touchscreens.

High-Bright Sunlight-Readable Displays

Whether you need a sunlight-readable display for an outdoor setting or indoor manufacturing environment, our high-bright monitors and computers, providing up to 1800 nits of brightness, are excellent for either environment.

Mounting Options

Often ordered with our pedestals and arm mounts, including versatile swing and swivel arms when needed, we customize every unit to your exact requirements. Traditional mounting tabs are also available.

Purge-Protected for Hazardous Areas

All our hazardous area HMIs are nonincendiary, protecting the internal components in the case of an external explosion. Typically constructed of stainless steel, they are built to meet IP66 and NEMA 4X ingress protection standards, stopping the entry of dust and water.

When you need a workstation to automate or monitor systems in C1D1, C2D1, or C2D2 hazardous environments, our workstations are available with customizable designs and numerous function-enhancing peripherals.

Type-X Purge Systems  

Our purge-protected workstations are available with a certified Type-X purge system, a requirement for C1D1 environments in which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, liquids, or vapors are present under normal operating conditions.

Type-X purge systems are also designed for C2D1 hazardous areas in which combustible dusts are present such as mining and agriculture.

Type-Z Purge Systems

Our workstations also provide options for a certified Type-Z purge system for C2D2 area applications in which flammable gases, liquids, or vapors are not present under normal operating conditions but could be present under abnormal operating conditions.

Rugged Touchscreens

Our hazardous area workstations, available with screen sizes ranging from 15" to 24", have configurations that include durable touchscreens, including standard resistive and PCAP (projected capacitive) touchscreens, both of which are compatible with protective gloves.

Life Sciences Applications

Our hazardous area workstations, available with touchscreens compatible with gloves, are effective and safe HMI solutions for life sciences environments where workers must wear PPE.

Manufacturing Area Workstations

Our ToughStation workstations offer a reliable solution for operating and monitoring machinery and processes in factories with C1D1 or C2D2 areas. They provide complete solutions that are customizable to the needs of industrial applications.

Oil and Natural Gas Production

Reliable in the often-harsh conditions of oil and natural gas production facilities, our ToughStation purge-protected workstations are built to ensure efficient operations while keeping workers safe.
