BetaWeb

Finding the right display is often a balancing act between cost, user experience and physical constraints. With that in mind, we have carefully sourced and tested a range of displays to give you options that make BetaWeb suitable for a variety of systems.

Integrating a touch screen to your system is far from simple, the experience needs to be responsive, accurate, and has to be suitable for the end user’s environment.

We offer two popular touch technology choices as part of our BetaWeb HMI, both suited for different situations:

Projected Capacitive

For most applications, a projected capacitive touch screen is suitable. It’s the same interface that’s used in commercial

smartphones where users benefit from a responsive, frictionless touch experience. Our projected capacitive option

supports multi-touch for more advanced user interaction and many work with latex or nitrite gloves.

Resistive

Resistive touch works by responding to pressure on its surface as two sheets of material meet. It’s a cost-effective

alternative useful for situations where end users are wearing gloves and only a single touch point needs to be registered

at any given moment.

The processor board is the brains of your BetaWeb HMI. It takes care of running your software application using the onboard processor. In making your choice, you need to consider two key aspects; the operating system that your application will run on and the required processing power and graphics capabilities to run the application at an optimal level.

We are very aware our embedded Touch systems need to look great when integrated to your designs. We offer a variety of standard bezel, mounting and rear cover options to help you achieve an integrated look. We are always willing to discuss customisations to give you the finished aesthetic your products need.  

As with the LCD and touch interface, it’s important to balance cost, environmental and user experience requirements when

it comes to choosing the bezel for your BetaWeb HMI. BetaWeb provides two options for the bezel surrounding its front panel; either black painted plastic or machined aluminium. Alongside choosing a bezel material, you should factor in your required ingress protection (IP) rating as there are a number of choices available for this, too. 

Painted  Plastic

For cost-sensitive applications where high-rated IP sealing is not required, our painted plastic option is the one to choose.. The painted finish ensures a premium appearance.

Machined Anodised Aluminium

If your HMI requires significant protection from dust or water and a more rugged frame for harsher environments

– or even just a more premium feel to your product – then choose our machined aluminium bezel. Environmental protection is provided via adonisation, which can be done in almost any colour. Standards, and particularly EMC compliance are integral to every aspect of our designs, highly effective whole product grounding is achieved via selective laser etching of internal surfaces.

Rear mount sub flush and flush with IP sealing

With full design and manufacturing control of our products we regularly help customers achieve their desired system look and feel. We can readily offer alternative mounting solutions such as the frame shown which provides a near flush rear mount solution. Contact Us for further details and to discuss  requirements and concepts.
