Aluminium Trägerplatten
Touchscreen HMI

Interelectronix offers a wide range of different materials for carrier plates in order to perfectly optimize a touchscreen to meet the defined requirements.

In addition to different materials, it is possible to perfectly match carrier boards to the planned area of application through different surface treatments and coatings and to fulfill special design requests.

##Leicht, robust and cost-effective

We recommend aluminum carrier plates especially for touchscreens that are used in harsh areas of application such as industrial environments, the construction industry or even for military purposes.

Aluminum is a very light and at the same time very resistant material. Portable applications, such as those frequently used in the logistics sector or in industrial production facilities, benefit in particular from the low weight and high insensitivity of the material at the same time.

Aluminum carrier plates are a very cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution, which at the same time have a long service life.

##Brandfest and weatherproof

Aluminum carrier plates are also absolutely weather-resistant and tolerate both high and very low temperatures.

Interelectronix 's ULTRA and PCAP touchscreens are preferred by our customers in harsh working environments as well as in locations that are often exposed to adverse weather conditions. For these applications, we prefer to enclose the touchscreens in aluminum carrier plates to guarantee that not only the touchscreen but also its socket can withstand all adversities.

Aluminium is non-combustible and therefore ideally suited in fire-critical environments as well as for use in explosion protection systems.

##Aluminium or stainless steel?

The disadvantage of the aluminum carrier plates is the thermal expansion of the material, which is due to the high thermal conductivity of the aluminum. In the event that a touch screen is used in a work environment where the touch screen is subject to constant high temperatures, we recommend stainless steel backing plates that are more suitable for this application.

For our aluminum carrier plates, we offer the surface treatment of anodizing as standard, and coloring with the help of sub-anodized printing is also possible.
